Dar didn't know what to make of the situation as he gingerly made his way through the roof of the chambers.

He had lost so swiftly after being in control of the fight for the majority of its duration. Observing his body internally he suspected that Taf had held back somewhat in his final attack.

In his mind, Taf's words did hit hard. It seems the weakness of his scorpion art was seen through by his opponent. 

The reason he had previously switched his strategy was to mask his art's greatest weakness. Admittedly, to truly hide this first he had to trick Taf into thinking this was one of his strengths.    

So he baited him into close combat in order to cement this fact within his subconsciousness. After which he then summoned his scorpions. 

His scorpions had a psychic link that if interrupted meant their usefulness became negligible. Similar to a puppet without strings.
