Reason why Igris intentionally lost to Cha He: - Igris, usually a relentless warrior, does not go all out.
Cha Hae-In notices that something is off—Igris seems to be holding back.
At a crucial moment, Igris deliberately leaves an opening, allowing Cha Hae-In to land a decisive strike.
[*]However, Jin-Woo realizes that Igris let her win—something extremely unusual, as shadow soldiers follow his orders without hesitation.
[*]Igris is not just a mindless shadow soldier—he retains his chivalrous and knightly personality from when he was a loyal servant of the previous Shadow Monarch, Ashborn.
[*]He likely recognized Cha Hae-In's importance to Jin-Woo and decided to show respect by not fighting at full power.
[*]This is a rare moment that shows Igris' intelligence and independent will, despite being a summoned creature.
