There's literally no indication that he didn't go all out and he hasn't used the laser eyes since the beginning of the game and rellies way more on wind magic. Imo this is a bunch of cope, he get knocked flying early on in the start and onyx gets disable then literally gets a fatal wound that he only managed to survived because he absored the heal crystals then after getting back up he gets frozen into a solid block of ice.
The dude lost and there was no real indication that he was ever holding back. Mc literally says in his own words that Diana is stronger than he is. The whole point of the character is that she's supposed to be around his level so after this arc is done he gets a powerful ally/sparing partner since he outclasses everyone else in his circle.
She only left her village and joined the assasain group because it gave her a chance to travel and look for the mc again. Idk imo I'm not really interested in Rin at all. She's the same as the other LI if not worse.
Because he did lost. Like I said above she delivers a fatal blow to him twice and he only gets back up because of his regen abilities and even then he was out for a good 30 seconds each time. Then in the final bout they knock each other out.
Essentially he lost twice and then had a managed to get a draw in the last round.
It makes no sense for the mc to say "she's stronger than me" only for that statement to not be true and argue he's holding back. Mc hasn't used laser eyes because the dev forgot about them and hasn't used them since like chapter 2.
I dont get why youre so hellbent to make this point when its obviously wrong. Not even talking about that him losing would actually prove my original point even more.
Here a few examples for you from the fight:
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content.
Log in or register now.
And this one is before their very last clash before you trying to argue that he only said anything like that in the beginning.

So nah, youre interpretation/memorys of the event are simply wrong. Youre quotation of him saying that shes stronger is wrong too, he never said that.
The only thing he said is that she bested him in quite a few of their clashes (while he was holding back very obviously).
His eyes never switched to the blight blue or red eye colour either which is usually his serious-mode
