I personally think it is due to being caught off guard.
Even if it is though, slow reaction time is certainly a weakness.
wholesome ending 
just an example of the phenomenon known as âThe Summoning of Skittleâ or also known in different regions of the world, âMentioning Morock Creedâ
Level jus yapping because he knows Morockâs death was a total write-off from vetex, same thing happened to Cursebeard. Any strong character in the AU always has the cheesiest death because theyâre made wayyy overpowered by the plot, and when it comes to light that theyâre blocking the plot they just get given the worst written death possible. (gojo syndrome)
This is explained above, but iâll give you a recap.
Morockâs death was caused by his distraction on having just destroyed the AUâs largest known fleet, and having slaughtered the 2 strongest mages, and what can be assumed is the largest Human army post Durzaâs First Explosion.
After this, he was made aware that Valencia, which according to old sources (which canât be debunked entirely because all AA characterâs lores derive from this) could scale above Durza. He was emitting so much power that his ship quite literally collapsed in the matter of less than a few seconds, which no, the average person could not âgrab a ropeâ as some clowns would try attempt say they would. Morock was put in a near guaranteed death situation, which any other Curse User (except for Cursebeard because of his Ice Gimmick) would have died in.
Iâd imagine that Morock didnât really fly in order to limit his curse usage and to avoid travelling without his crew.
Curse users who were more used to flying would probably do it instinctively and might survive a similar situation.
Morock died there because he really hasnât been in danger in a very long time and didnât really resort to flight like people who get into life threatening scenarios like that.
Oh what an interesting topic⌠Nevermind itâs already devolved into morock this isnât even funny
You should already be aware that where there is mention of Lore, there is the ever so slim chance that I can be brought by a multitude of reasons.

2 Admirals of the AG, and if weâre to believe the Lore Doc, these Admirals were among the elite of those that survived Durzaâs Blast.
If you read the Lore Doc it also mentions that many of the AGâs high ranks were also curse-users, but I think thatâs just leftover false information from the old doc, since that hasnât been changed since the first iterations, and the dates donât align with what Vetex and Tech have said.
So in other words, everything you are saying is complete headcanon?
No, what Iâm saying is the first paragraph is correct.
The Second Paragraph states that IF the lore doc ISNâT wrong, then Morock would have killed Curse Users, which drastically upscales his already godly feat.
These AG members are also clearly strong enough to beat Durza given that Durza doesnât run, so that alone clearly shows Morock outscales Durza also.
So If this IS canon, then he didnât kill 2 strong mages, he killed 2 Curse Users able to defeat Durza, which only scales him further.
There is no way of knowing if Morock fought the same AG members, or if he even fought all of them.
Plus either way he litterly DIED so he clearly didnât defeat all of those AG members did he?
Where are you even getting the 2 admirals thing from? The webcomic?
Also there is no way of knowing if they were born before or after Durzaâ s blast
Correct me if I am wrong, but wasnât it directly stated in THE CANON LORE DOC that Durza vaporized her along with the entirety of the arcane government?
I would imagine someone someone who scales below wouldnât be capable of that 
Where is this âtwo strongest magesâ even from? Care to give us there names?
Dates said where? If itâs from some message said before the lore doc btw, itâs overridden by the lore doc
the morock post-lobotomy vibes are so real rn 
He clearly did if heâs known for destroying the Golden Armada 
Bro couldnât even pay attention to one of the two talking points I use
The Lore Doc states they are " A few powerful mages, most survivors from back when the islands were one, band together to create the Arcane Government." which outright confirms they are from pre-Durzaâs Blast.
No, that was Chaos. Please try read the Lore Doc, youâre getting really sloppy in this argument and its not that fun to speak to you if you canât even bother to have 1 correct argument.
Never named (atleast in canon), they are the Admirals that were with Valencia at the Bermuda Archipelago, that would have guaranteed been there if Argestes was also present.
Every feat confirmed by Theos, Durza and Cursebeard such as the Borealis, the Forming of Alalea, Randal, Holden and Theos being in a crew, and Durza making his tower in the Seventh Sea.
I donât believe they are overriden by the Lore Doc, Vetex isnât really the best when it comes to dates as seen by how nations in the AU make no sense existing when Magic began in 100 AD and the world exploded in 1100 Ad.
