Meanwhile, the surrounding raindrops seemed to answer a call, swirling together and solidifying around him to form the massive, ten-meter-tall silhouette of a white giant.
The brief exchange was enough for him to realize that his opponent specialized in a dual path, combining physical enhancement with mental manipulation.
As a spellcasting Professional, his greatest fear was an enemy like this closing in for melee combat.
'I must be fully prepared.'
Recalling the close call just moments ago, Duke felt a sharp pain in his face, and his expression turned grim.
He had been a hair's breadth from death.
He now clearly realized he could not defeat this opponent on his own.
His only hope of victory was to stall for as long as possible until reinforcements from Cold Rain City arrived.
Only then would they have a chance of taking this man down.
So, what he had to do now was stall for time.
On the spot,
Hu Qi faced the overwhelming barrage of Ice Swordsmanship.
