Zok did not wait for Naalnish to do whatever he was planning to. Instead, he charged at him first. Thanks to the [Hoard] ability, he was confident in his strikes and knew if he couldn't defeat the man in one strike, he would follow up with stronger strikes as he stacked the damage done from his attacks.
But he wasn't charging in blindly. He had almost died to the fists similar to the ones that were in front of him and he wasn't going to get blinded by his power like the last time. On top of that, he wasn't planning on losing against a shaman.
Zok was assuming that the man would attack him first. But that did not happen. Instead, the man assumed a defensive stance and the following moment, the blue flames burst out and surrounded the man from head to toe.
"What the hell?"
