Once the Power of Star-Bone is depleted, facing a monster in this state, Sterl suspected that even the invincible golden code power wouldn't last long against it.
For a moment, Sterl found himself filled with regret, regretting that he had used all his soul power to strengthen himself instead of saving a portion as a backup.
However, using his powerful perception, he assessed the monster's burn rate. At the current speed, even if the monster kept burning for twenty minutes or more, it might not burn out entirely.
In that case, even if he had kept some soul power for himself, he doubted he could outlast the monster in terms of energy consumption.
The battle was ongoing. Sterl used Dimension Perception to constantly look for the monster's weaknesses, while the monster, in turn, used its precognition to try to break Sterl's defense.
At this moment, neither side could overcome the other.
"No, there must be a way!"
