Rowan observed the shrinking body of Drakul as tens of millions of soul crystals kept pouring into his body; he could tell with ninety-nine percent accuracy the thoughts ongoing inside the head of this Old One. This sensation was odd, it was the first time he was battling against a dangerous foe while still retaining so much control over the flow of battle. He could never have done the same thing with Sheol because his enemy would be already dead before he could read their memories, but with Serathis, he could read them like a book, and as time passed, the knowledge and power he had over them would continuously deepen.
With this power he had already judged that this battle was his to win, there might be some unexpected changes in the future, but Rowan had already determined his victory to be more than ninety percent, so he had the leeway to understand the power of Serathis more deeply as Drakul had changed from the status of an enemy to a lab-rat.
