"I think I know how Caesar's strength has increased..." Sandora said gravely as she observed Caesar, who had largely taken on a human form, "There's a lot of different energy inside him."
Even though it seemed the enemy was unstable upon arrival, not one of us initiated an attack. An enemy like Caesar was powerful to a certain degree, and he definitely was smarter than Brother Mo Shui, who we had ambushed and beaten half to death. Since he dared to show himself, he must have been prepared. We probably wouldn't gain anything by striking first and might even make things worse.
The over a thousand Xyrin Warriors who were still operating normally had withdrawn all their attack systems and instead focused all their efforts on the Protective Barrier. Their attacks would likely be ineffective against Caesar, so rather than wasting energy, they formed a human fortress to ensure the safety of Qianqian and her sister.
