@Tired27 Combat arts are at least ten times strong than basic attacks, so a basic attack + fallen flowers < combat arts + full bloom. MC was winning, but he was going to run out of stamina before he won, which wouldn't have been a problem if he just used a lower level of promote. Also, without plot armour, MC would've insteadly bled out of all his orifices and died in seconds, which is guaranteed failure. At least not using promote or using a lower level of promote he could've bought time for the fire to go out and reinforcements to arrive.
@Nelson Mandela MC was not winning... That was the whole reason he used promote in the first place. 10x stronger??? Where are you getting this information? He ran out of stamina? No he didn't. He went for an attack and it wasn't effective. It's not a stamina issue but a strength issue.
Bought time? Ahaha What do you think the barrier is for? To prevent reinforcement from arriving
If he didn't use promote level 4 he would have just lost and died because he's not strong enough without it
