Leaving a small dust cloud, Kotaro attacked again. Fighting intent was evident on his expression.
He didn't use his fire, medium attacks were useless in front of the dwarf's shield. Summoning a powerful move like the sea of flames would be crucial, of course, but it would require quite a bit of mana to execute a strike like this. Besides, the sea of flames was a full-scale attack, and it was unwise to use it in a battle that relied more on skill than strength.
Seeing how the dwarf responded with his elbow shaped forward, with the distinctive hand angle, Kotaro immediately knew the nature of the blow.
Stab!
As he expected, the dwarf used the needle weapon once more. However, nothing happened to Kotaro.
This time, he avoided the attack range nicely.
The dwarf didn't give up, arching his second arm back before his hand descended forcefully.
