Chapitre 2106: Truce

After revealing his true power, Emery managed to significantly alter the grand magus's perception of him. This seasoned figure, who had survived hundreds of battles, was well-acquainted with a fundamental principle of the Magus universe: 

Strength dictates morality. In this world, it was not one's age, origin, or personality that held sway, but sheer power and how it influenced one's gains and losses.

Ramos the Blazing Wind, understood this principle deeply. Even with a slim chance of victory, he calculated that the potential losses far outweighed the benefits of defeating Emery. When Emery proposed a truce, Ramos did not dismiss it out of hand. Instead, he seriously considered the offer.

Emery, observing the grand magus's hesitation, felt a surge of optimism. He realized that there was a real possibility of negotiating his way out of this meaningless confrontation.
