Lucas quickly erected a barrier in front of him, shielding him from the impact of Richard's attack. The ground around them was littered with a large crater, except for the spot where Lucas was standing. Richard couldn't help but feel even more frustrated.
"How did he manage to protect himself from my attack?" Richard thought to himself. "Just earlier, he was taking an assessment for that crappy movement technique. That means he is way behind me! But how..."
Before Richard could ponder further, he stopped attacking and a grin spread across his face. He had a sudden realization.
"You're hiding a treasure, aren't you?" Richard exclaimed, his face filled with excitement. "You think you can survive my next attack just because you have a protective treasure? But you should know that they can only be activated once!"
