The battle between Gaius and Marcus ended up in a draw.
Many were surprised by this outcome, having expected that Marcus would win since he was a magician. However, Alex knew better.
Gaius wasn't an ordinary barbarian. He was a genius of the barbarian race and had learned how to wield an aura as early as his first year in the academy.
Marcus' spells were certainly powerful, but they were useless as long as Gaius could evade and tank them with his own body with the help of his aura.
The two of them were in the middle stages of Rank 3, making them true powerhouses in their own right.
In comparison, Alex's master, Cairo, was on the cusp of breaking through into a Rank 4 Demon Slayer.
The Catkin's reason for traveling around the Kingdom of Avalon was related to this. He believed that gaining more experience while honing his swordsmanship could help with his progress.
Alex firmly believed that the next time they met, his master would be a step closer to becoming a Heaven's Sword.
