From observing the way his squad fought, one thing Ruvian could confidently say was that — none of them were truly ready yet to fight a Wretched-Rank Voidspawn individually.
Maybe Arlok and Yerin still had some chance to somehow solo one if they really push all their strength and luck together at same time, but even then, it still heavily depends on what kind of Wretched Voidspawn they are facing against.
Because not every Wretched was the same, some of them were monsters that could wipe an entire squad before people even realize what happened, while some were slower and more manageable, though still extremely dangerous enough to easily tear apart an unprepared scholar without much difficulty at all.
And maybe… just maybe… they can somehow stand their ground equally for some period of time against a Wretched creature, but actually winning against one by themselves?
That was a completely different matter altogether.
