Hundreds of small fireballs rained down on the battlefield that created chaos on the flow of battle. Tai and Eldritch' battle came t a halt as they needed to protect themselves, but the former used this opportunity to vanish from the latter's sight.
While the others were busy defending themselves under the rain of fire, Tai sneaked towards Adrian and attempted to snatch the Cube of Paradox. He would have been successful if the Cube of Paradox was not sentient. The Cube of Paradox alerted Adrian that someone wants to steal it and the latter immediately teleported it to his location.
Tai knew that he will not be able to get the Soul of Conquest from the player nicknamed the Demon easily. He has a grasp of how the player nicknamed the Demon fought and even he acknowledges that he is not easy to grasp. Battles with or against the Demon are also not many in terms of videos which is why he cannot determine Adrian's fighting ability.
