After receiving the advice from the Great Mentor, Igor also retracted the flames he was about to release.
As per the Great Mentor's suggestion, they remained still. Doing so would prevent the enemy from sensing the fluctuations of their Spirit Power, adding a significant element of confusion. Igor noticed the Great Mentor was under a Spirit Attack. His connected Spirit could vaguely sense that oppressive sensation, so he quickly understood the Mentor's advice.
From these subtle signs, he inferred that the enemy was probing.
Probing indicated uncertainty on the enemy's part, so the opportunity was still equal for everyone.
Although the adversary's strength might be somewhat greater, at this moment, he had not yet fully ascertained the Great Mentor's position. In other words, the enemy was advancing completely blind, unable to see the direction clearly.
