The tattered Sage Robe surrounding his body was slowly mending, continuously drawing a vast amount of Magic Power and spiritual power from Lis's body.
If it hadn't been for the Sage Robe automatically blocking most of Patrick's strength just now, Lis reckoned his current state would be much worse than just a broken arm.
Not only that, his internal organs had also taken a hit, sustaining not- insignificant injuries.
Even so, the deep, marrow-penetrating pain was still relentlessly stimulating Lis's nerves.
This was the first time he had been so grievously injured since his rebirth.
Putting away his Shield, Lis wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, yet a faint smile appeared on his face.
The exhilaration of pursuing the limit amidst life and death battles caused Lis's body to tremble slightly with excitement.
In all his previous fights, either Lis had used various methods to dominate the battlefield, or his opponents were too weak and his own strength was more than enough to crush them.
He had never felt the sensation of a real battle; it was as if he were in a game from his previous life.
Although Lis kept reminding himself that this was a real world and that death was truly the end, he, who had never been completely trapped in a death crisis, couldn't imagine what it would feel like?
Lis had thought that, as someone from the peaceful era of his previous life, he would fear and dread, be afraid of death, and even turn tail at the face of it.
But now, Lis realized his most genuine desire.
To fully exert his strength in battle, to surpass his own limits, and to strive to reach new peaks.
So, am I a battle maniac?
Lis laughed self-deprecatingly, and the Jade Wand suddenly appeared in his hand.
The effect of [All Laws Return to Storage] was triggered!
Six-Circle Magic [Acid Mist Technique]!
Massive clouds suffused with a faint green hue appeared above the sea region, whilst at the same time, both the Arcane Destruction Storm and the Thunder Domain ceased.
Patrick realized he was enveloped in dense fog that only allowed him to see about two to three meters around his body, and his sense of direction began to fade.
Even just contacting the green-tinged fog gave Patrick's extremely tough sharkskin a sensation of corrosive burning.
[Acid Mist Technique] was somewhat similar to the Five-Ring Magic [Thick Fog Skill], but it also carried a strong acidity, capable of dealing continuous damage and slowing enemies.
Yet, what Lis valued more was its special effect of obscuring sight and confusing perception!
Although there were no longer Wind Blades or Thunder strikes, the Water Prison was still present, constantly restricting his movements.
Patrick cautiously observed his surroundings and tried to heal his injuries as much as possible.
As a Druid, he did possess some Healing abilities.
But Lis would not give him enough time to recover his Status!
The crisp sound rang out as an Arrow glowing with cyan and blue hues shot through the fog with incredible speed from behind Patrick, landing on his back in the blink of an eye.
Only then did Patrick react, barely moving his body to dodge the Arrow, but even so, the terrifying attack still took away a small chunk of flesh.
Struggling to stem the bleeding at the wound, Patrick became somewhat perplexed.
After the Skills of Professions such as Mage, assassin, and warrior, was his enemy now resorting to a Hunter's bow and arrow attack?
But the Arrows didn't give him a moment to breathe, as several more shot out from the fog, targeting various parts of his body.
The exceedingly fast and powerfully heavy bow and arrows forced Patrick to be preoccupied with defending, and he continued to accumulate injuries, with one long Arrow even piercing through his tail.
With continuous heavy blows, Patrick could barely control the loss of blood, and the sea region gradually became saturated with scarlet.
Not far away, Lis also breathed a sigh of relief, putting down the pale cyan golden longbow in his hand.
The left arm that Patrick had injured earlier had already recovered under the effect of the Spell [Recover from Severe Injuries], and though it was still somewhat uncomfortable, it was enough for him to operate the longbow.
Just now, Lis had used the [Closterman Heavy Arrow Skill]!
This was a special Hunter technique Lis had learned from Charles, originating from Charles's master, Closterman.
Such a powerful technique could exert strength beyond the limits, and it was a particularly precious secret skill.
Charles, with his muscular physique, owed it to training to master this Combat Skill.
This secret technique demanded that the Hunter professional's Strength Attribute meet the level of a same-tier warrior, and during use, it could not be interrupted by external factors, requiring the cooperation of teammates.
Lis perfectly fulfilled the learning requirements of this secret technique.
I'm a kaleidoscope of fight myself, my own cooperation will do just fine!
Charles didn't hesitate, for the requirements to learn the secret technique were indeed very high, so his teacher didn't mind him teaching it to others.
It was just that Charles never imagined Lis would learn it so quickly, nor that he would use Experience Points to raise the Skill Level to an extremely high realm in one go.
Seeing the [Closterman Heavy Arrow Skill] taking effect, Lis found he could not keep it up.
After all, the secret technique that could heavily injure a Gold Level entity like Patrick had its hefty costs.
Lis's right hand was already beginning to tremble, and even with the healing from the Spell, it would take a while before he could wield any strength again.
But that's fine, he could still cast Spells, as long as he could hold the Magic Wand.
Soon, Patrick noticed that a new surge of Spellwork was striking toward him from within the fog.
Trying his best to dodge while doing so, Patrick could no longer afford to wait any longer.
