Once he felt he had enough blood stored up, Merlin used his strength to pull the creature closer to him, where he promptly sprayed its face with a fine mist of his blood and saliva, he made sure to periodically stop and then spray again, just in case they counted as separate attacks by the system.
「Passive skill ⟪Rose Blight⟫ has triggered, target's stats have been reduced.」
And it appeared that they did, as the third spray triggered the notification.
Merlin watched as the hobgoblin's face slowly became a shade of greenish-purple, and he could feel the monster's strength drop as it wasn't quite as difficult to fight against it in the tug-of-war.
Merlin chanted to activate his heavy strike ability, causing a notification to briefly appear, telling him that his ability had been activated.
「Skill ⟪Heavy Strike⟫ Activated, your next attack will do an extra 35% damage, and has a 15% chance to trigger the stagger effect.」
