In the past, Detlef was clearly a mighty warrior, and even in his current state, he far surpassed Rohei in skill, easily dodging all his attacks that he didn't parry. But the illness clearly affected him; his strikes were accurate but weak, and what ultimately let him down was his slowed reaction speed, which meant the samurai always had time to recover from his blows. It's unknown how long this would have lasted if Detlef hadn't eventually run out of strength – in fact, he was defeated solely by his own illness.
Staggering from the numerous blows he had taken, Rohei put away his weapon and helped the warrior to his feet.
— Well, I think the solution is obvious now... Trying to fight in this condition is the same as abandoning the way of the sword right now. But if he were healthy, this fight would probably have lasted no more than half a minute.
