The weird thing seems to be perception of time there, not the actual amount of time that passes.

Yeah, I'm not sure about that.

I know I was among the people who were severely doubting, if not alright belittling people who claimed this was an inferior weapon. I mean, I still stand by that. It is not inferior to anything in the conventional way.

Because it is not a conventional weapon. It is something coated and transformed by Chaos. Since Cath does not merely inhabit Lancelot's body but they are literally fused into one being, anything that strains Lance - physically or mentally - puts a strain on that Chaos part of his too, at least while Lancelot maintains a little energy to fight back against the malicious cat.

And I think that's what we are seeing here. Lance suddenly seems more sluggish, his weapon breaks, he regenerates it, Zeldris beats him up, Lance is sweating bullets. He is obviously not receiving a lot of damage. But doing all this logistical juggling and fighting back against Cath while still not breaking his end of the bargain is obviously straining him. He is very obviously not putting out all he could be if the roadblocks were gone. And that's probably going to happen soon because the human side of Lancelot is close to tapping out. If Cath gets to run the show onehundred percent, then Lancelot will just be a sleeve that Cath is wearing. I expect that to happen.

So while this is in a sense a Zeldris upscale, it is also imo a Lance downscale. There's gonna be a round two coming, I suspect and it will go very differently.

Gustang seemed to give him a bit of an acknowledgment, calling him an "unwelcome guest", so he's probably not fodder (maybe a threat to an exhausted FH, but not comparable to a fully powered one IMO).

- Boss: Should be above Regents for the simple reason his subordinates appear to be Regent-level, but I'm not confident putting him on the same tier as Luslec or TTs yet. Boss admitted Urek would have wiped them out if they retreated a second later, while Luslec simply had a much better portrayal. ~20-40 for now. I wouldn't be surprised if he ended up as TT lvl, but SIU hasn't given him much to work with yet.
