While Jorus spoke arrogantly above them, Aiden's body had already returned to peak condition, and Zero Effect had nearly stripped away the last remnants of the Curse of Death that had been inflicted upon him.
But it was in that very moment, as Jorus continued his mocking monologue, that an idea formed in Aiden's mind.
Against an Archon, none of his authorities could deal any decisive blow. He hadn't reached his full potential that would allow him absolute dominance.
But even so, his authorities still achieved some effect on an Archon, and what if those few seconds were exactly all he needed?
Jorus's voice had then interrupted his thoughts.
"By the way," the god said casually, "who do you think suggested and taught Lucina the spell she used to curse your shit wife to death?"
Aiden's grip tightened furiously around Excalibur's hilt.
The revelation didn't come as a surprise, not really. If anything, it only made things add up more.
