... hm. Bit of a deus ex machina at the end there, but eh, alright.
Kinda wonder how it would have turned out if Julian went mano e mano, and the guy was just copying Julian... that would have been neat. Like Julian notices he stopped being able to use the other two's powers and puts two and two together.
And I guess he just runs away or something lol

You know, and I'm pretty sure many felt this way at onset of this arc, that it would end in mutual retreat. In fact I recall dialogue indicating that this would be the outcome, right before shit got weird with all the distractions.
So we're back to where we started, again and yet again they've introduced new Interlopers who could extend the length of this skirmish. What was then the point of the Witches intruding here?
EDIT: I don't normally come back and edit comments but last night was a great reason why you don't read and comment drunk.

okay, now for the group's homework: how do you fight someone without directing hostility towards them? learn to do this in case you need to fight against skullface again in the future. class dismissed!

WOW that whole secret witch cabal plan was a flop. Prophetess is lucky the king didn't order her to do any of that, I can't imagine her having to spin that to him. yeah almost all the cool weirdoes we hired died, and all of our opponents got away, but uhhh ... I sloppy made out with my necromancer gf in the middle of it so, strategically it's something of a wash? idk

Or Julian could have ran away depriving him of resurection and strength so the others could kill him...

Bit of an asspull let down

It's the second asspull, the first were the witches, now this dude.
It makes me wonder why. Like the witches were enough...
......To let Julian and the Reader's group know about the Goddess of Night, the rift between the Witches and the Supreme Lord/Elstri and to show off how Altus is his own person rather than just a resurrected Arkos (even if he has a small piece of Arkos left inside as a power up) so that we won't be surprised when they eventually use the Muscle Mommy's hair to create a doll of her that might wind up influenced by the soul remnant inside her.
They literally established that both groups were fucking around before hand and it was only a matter of waiting until they showed up in the middle of the fight
Do you call every little bit of convenient timing "asspulls"?

Yes I do. It has been years since Arkos was killed, the helmet guy and the witches just now showed up? Exactly when needed? They didn't try to talk to Julian beforehand or anything like that? How did they find them? They were hidden in the old aqueduct for a long time now, Elstri's group just now found them.
The main problem isn't even that, the main problem is that it's just awkward.
Two times during the same fight they were rescued by a secondary group only so that we can establish things.
This second rescue only exists so that we can establish how the mirror guy works and that there are two more people helping Julian.
We could've done that somewhere else, after this whole fight have been closed. It's just shoving too many things in the same fight in the same way.
Like I said, the Witches were enough, they could've fought Altus, lost because of the power-up, the power-up would've ended and Elstri would be forced to retreat, Julian and Co. would've ran away.
Then we could have introduced the mirror guy and the new allies in a more organic way.
