However, if he adopts a different approach, the situation would be entirely different.
As long as Finn chooses not to act personally but instead sends others to target Herbert, there would be no crisis.
No trace of crisis at all.
Even if he personally hands over his epic magic staff to a subordinate to execute the plan, there would be no danger.
There could be slight danger, a slim chance of escape... but there is not a single chance, nor any crisis!
At that point, Finn realized the problem, as if he had long been in the sight of an unseen, terrifying presence, preventing him from flipping the board with reckless moves.
Someone was protecting Herbert from the shadows, and they were far stronger than him.
Divine? Saint?
Regardless of the opponent's true identity, Finn lacked the ability and the desire to confront them.
Finn ultimately abandoned his idea of personally taking action but did not give up on survival; he continued to monitor Herbert and awaited a new opportunity.
