[ As long as Shabranigdu resides within Rezo, the same old risks remain. It may only be a matter of time before the worst of the Red Priest is brought to the surface again, and like before, it wouldn't be Zelgadis alone who'd suffer for it.
Frankly, Rezo is a potential threat to existence itself. ]
...But don't get too ahead of yourself. First off, you're assuming I'd lose.
[ If Rezo were to try and kill him right now, Zel would be a sitting duck, yes, but that would be an exceedingly unlikely turn of events.
In a fair fight, Zel thinks he'd stand a chance, no need for a Philsopher's Stone to level the playing field. ]
You're not as strong as you used to be because of dying and resurrecting twice, right? I suppose you wouldn't know this, but a similar principle applies to Shabranigdu. When you revived it in Taforashia, it was a shell of its former self; a ghost who was destroyed again by Lina. It follows that whatever you're harboring now is a remnant of that.
[ It did take the Giga Slave to eradicate Shabranigdu's ghost, but that's the nature of magic. The true essence of Ruby Eye was long dead. ]
If you can be this embarrassing, I'm not convinced yet that Shabranigdu's influence is so irresistible any longer.
[ He's not fooling anyone. He missed Rezo's kindness. ]
