Excluding Halls, Izroth knew that he was the only one who had any experience when it came to fighting against a shadahi. If he allowed everyone to engage in the battle with zero forewarning, the results were bound to be disastrous.
'Since their power is no longer being suppressed by the restrictions that exist in the Shadahi Realm, it's possible that they possess abilities unknown to me. But, at the very least, with my instructions, everyone shouldn't be caught completely off guard.'
Back in the Shadahi realm, the Lesser Shadahi Patrollers were only elite rank; however, with the restrictions lifted, they became a rank that Izroth had never seen before in RML—Unique Elite.
Because of this and his Energy Vision Sense not functioning at its potential, Izroth was unable to get a solid grasp on how much stronger the Lesser Shadahi Patrollers were compared to when he faced them in the Shadahi Realm.
