Seeing the blood-red greatsword betray him, Boris Vassika, the Glorious One, seemed to realize something. His expression turned ugly.
With a roar, he released the blood-red sword attacking him and conjured another greatsword of Twilight. He slashed the "traitor" to pieces, scattering fragments across the ground.
But Reinhardt's illusory wings swept around the blood-red fragments. The next moment, the "dead" sword returned to life and struck at Boris again.
While the Glorious One was occupied for those precious few seconds, countless Eyes of Wisdom in Abner's mind went to work, analyzing possibilities and searching for a viable plan.
The Space-Time Cage was exquisitely constructed. Though Abner's Analysis found quite a few weaknesses, he could scarcely exploit any of them before his transformation expired.
At last, after countless failed Simulations, an Eye of Wisdom tasked with Rewinding details played a scene before Abner's eyes.
It showed Boris Vassika, the one-eyed Pure-blood Giant, dragging Ulyssan, the King of the North, into the cave—the very scene Abner had seen upon falling into the cage...
That's it. Looking back, the way he dragged the King of the North was rather deliberate. He claimed he hadn't hunted in ages and missed the days when he'd go out to hunt a dragon or kill a few Magic Wolves, so he'd caught this one on a whim...

*And it worked. Without my Multithreading Eyes of Wisdom catching every detail under the All-Seeing Eye's enhancement,
