It was very obvious why King Astrion had decided to bring the battle to their side of the battlefield.
Although he was alone, he was still a High-Archon strapped from head to toe with Artemian Technology.
He had intended to unleash an area-of-effect attack in order to kill as many Wanderers and Jinns as possible.
But how could Thirteen not predict such an obvious move?
Cranky had been waiting for this moment and didn't hesitate to clash with his opponent before King Astrion could approach their side.
The Naga Patriarch gritted his teeth as he activated the spell that had posed a problem to Camazotz, limiting his speed during their previous battle.
As soon as the Artemian King stepped into the range of the magic circle, which increased the gravity in the surroundings, his movements faltered.
Cranky didn't miss that opportunity and landed a solid hit on the Artemian King's chest, which sent the latter crashing to the ground.
At least, that was what was supposed to happen.
