Elara's katana remained poised against Gideon's throat, while Varnok's iron grip locked his arms in place, preventing any form of escape. But Gideon wasn't one to surrender so easily.
His vision cleared in moments, taking in the tense scene around him.
'Crazy! The Princess and the Barbarian have teamed up. And what's wrong with this big guy's grip? It feels like iron chains!'

In one fluid motion, he released the manual, letting it drop to the floor.
As the book fell—he struck.
His foot lashed out, sending the book soaring straight into the air.
In that instant, all eyes locked onto the manual, their focus drawn upward as it spiraled toward the ceiling.
Varnok reacted immediately, he first released Gideon.
