Como esse personagem em Unsong fingiu sua morte?

Descontinuado capítulo 30 descreve um duelo climático.

Then the Other King himself took the field, ripping through the Comet King’s troops with secret Names of fire and night. The Coloradan line began to buckle. And so the Comet King, looking terribly old with his white hair and lined face, strode to the front of his ranks and challenged the necromancer to single combat.

They fought high above the earth, darting in and out of clouds, their attacks shooting like lightning to the barren ground beneath. The mountains shook. Some cracked. The air thundered with the sound of forbidden magic.

The Comet King’s body dropped lifeless to the ground.

Mas muito mais tarde no livro descobrimos que

the Comet King

não morreu, mas escondeu-se sob um nome falso. O que aconteceu exatamente no duelo?

De perto do final, o personagem explica.

I borrowed a golem from Gadiriel, killed myself off, took on the new identity, and never showed my face.

então

the comet king used his various abilities to animate a golem and either switched his soul into the golem and killed his origional body or used the golem as a fake of himself to be killed.
