At this moment, she was somewhat worried that Reine had little experience in dealing with such an opponent.
It seemed she also felt a bit embarrassed for her team to gang up on Reine in a continuous rotation. Nathaniel introduced himself, "Lord Reine, I am a third-level Wizard Apprentice. My witchcraft attacks are quite powerful, so I hope you won't try to take them head-on."
After a moment's thought, Nathaniel turned around enthusiastically and began to cast his witchcraft toward a dummy clad in iron armor at a distance.
Two seconds later, a mass of pale green liquid emitting a fishy stench surged toward the dummy.
The greenish liquid corroded the iron armor, and within just one or two seconds, a large hole had been eaten through the heavy armor. It was clear that even Reine's Water Membrane steel armor suit would be severely damaged if hit directly.
In response to Nathaniel's friendly gesture, Reine smiled and nodded, saying, "Thank you for the warning, I will be careful."
The battle between the two began shortly after.
After quickly casting the Water Membrane Technique on himself, Nathaniel raised his hand toward Reine, and his palm began to chant another spell.
Reine had approached within ten meters or so in front of Nathaniel but sensed that something was amiss.
Suddenly, Reine felt a cold, negative energy instantly invade his body, feeling very much like some kind of curse.
Reine immediately felt a weakness in his limbs.
Soon after, he heard Vinica whisper to Mary on the side, "That's the Weakening Spell."
Nathaniel's face lit up with joy, and while he rapidly retreated, he fumbled for something in his robe.
Although Reine was more interested in facing a variety of opponents, he did not want to lose.
Therefore, Reine planned to use attribute points to try to counteract this negative energy.
Just as Reine was about to use his attribute points, abruptly, a member of the Fish-Dragon team with a serious expression hurried over to Captain Baron and whispered something in his ear.
Captain Baron's expression changed at once.
It seemed that something important had occurred.
Captain Baron then suddenly said, "Baron Reine, Nathaniel, let's stop the duel here. We have an urgent mission and must leave immediately!"
Upon hearing this, Reine immediately abandoned the idea of using attribute points, and Nathaniel also stopped casting the witchcraft he was in the midst of performing.
If that was the case, there was no need for him to use any attribute points ahead of time.
Captain Baron nodded at Reine and the others before briskly leading his team away.
Meanwhile, Vinica ran up and said, "Lord Reine, are you all right? This was the Weakening Curse. With your Constitution, it should dissipate in a few minutes."
"I'm fine," Reine nodded and said.
He could already feel the cold, negative energy in his body gradually fading, and its effect on him was diminishing.
Although the second fight had essentially been cut short, Reine discovered a problem within himself.
His methods of combat were not diverse enough, especially when facing opponents who could cast curses, Slow Techniques, or other weakening witchcraft. His inability to attack from a distance put him at a significant disadvantage.
After a bit of reflection, Reine decided to improve his "Blood Fury Archery," this Extraordinary Battle Technique, over the coming days.
Now he possessed the talent "Basic Extraordinary Understanding," which could increase his learning speed by thirty percent.
He believed that with this talent, his mastery of the Combat Skill would be faster than before.
