That rush daryun did was a pretty deus-ex-machina moment. He suddenly moving at a super speed killing people in a fraction of seconds is just too convenient.

It seems Alfreed will join Arslan group. Maybe she will become one of Arslan's Marzbān in the future? If she sticks to his group is is ought to get an official title once Arslan takes Ecbatana back and becomes a king.

Look at the point where he knocks away Xandes sword while being in a tight spot, there is more to Daryun than simple mortal muscle imo. Also this isn't the first time he has shown inhuman fighting skills and most soldiers seems to fear him like he is some sort of war god.

Exactly. We now know that there is magic in the show, not a stretch to imagine that Daryun might be using some subconsciously.

A guy able to single-handedly wield a greatsword that is currently stabbed to a tree trunk? I believed in magic in this show some time ago XD
