Kapitel 823: Crash of The Lightning King

From the beginning, Izroth knew that he would have no choice but to use his Compressed Lightning Movement if he wanted even a remote chance of surviving long enough for Astratis to make his move.

But, knowing that there would likely be no one remaining within range after using his Third Baneful Sword: Annihilation, Izroth came up with a safeguard. And, this safeguard was Hakros.

The reason Izroth asked Hakros how confident he was in his defense was due to the fact that he needed someone who could take Ourami's attacks head-on while he recovered. In this way, the pillar's attention would not turn towards Astratis or the other celestials who were working to clear up the rest of Ourami's forces.
