Alex was caught off guard but he quickly fled with Instant Slip-Away.
Under normal circumstances, if a character kept running, the Fire Elf would not be able to keep up its SPD. Alex was hit only because Chen Yang triggered the Ignite effect.
[Ignite: Adds 60% of player's attributes to their pet for 30 seconds. Cool down period: 10 minutes.]
With Fire Elf's SPD increased, it quickly kept up with Alex's pace, pulling another Fire Fist punch.
Although Fire Elf's SPD may be quite slow, its ATK range was 20-yards. Although this was far shorter than an Archer or Wizard class, it was still quite a distance compared to those pure melee classes such as Warriors.
Alex took another hit, a Critical Hit to be exact. [-1,578] damage appeared over his head.
At the same time, Chen Yang was assaulted by Galaxite, torched by a few fireballs which reduced his HP to roughly 1,000.
