The plan had been simple. Honestly, few strategies were more common than what Liam and Lancelot had implemented.
Lancelot had reached the peak of the rooting stage despite his incredible talent. He was stronger, more resilient, and shielded by politics, making him the perfect and only possible bait in a battle that could end with a single one of Dominic's real attacks.
Liam also had the perfect complementing attack. The Sky-Splitting Bolt had incredible range, piercing properties, and power. He and Lancelot hadn't gone through the specifics, but that weapon art was the best killing blow they possessed, especially when it came to a single target.
And everything had worked beautifully. Lancelot couldn't have played his role better, buying time while distracting Dominic, even successfully hurting him before putting him exactly where Liam needed.
