His gaze was calm and collected as Paul and Irene prepared to face each other. Despite his lower level and less potent gear, his composure was a testament to his unwavering confidence in victory.

The mechanics of dueling and player-versus-player combat in Harbinger's Call were a labyrinth of complexity, a puzzle that required time and experience to unravel. It was not something anyone could become accustomed to in a short time.

Unlike the other duels that he had just fought, he did not charge headfirst in as soon as it started, opting to circle slowly around the inferno knight, his every move a calculated step towards victory.

Similarly to the last duel, there were both primary melee fighters so that the inevitable clash would be up close and personal.
