Max drew his sword BloodSucker out from the inventory when the pressure from Nimli's attacks became unbearable.
Nimli was a tier4 warrior and stronger than Max in every stat aspect, whether it be physical strength, speed, constitution or dexterity.
In theory he should mop the floor with Max, a warrior that was two tiers weaker than him.
He should be able to easily land every blow that he swung towards Max, with his every attack being slightly faster than what Max should be able to counter, however, to his sheer surprise Max was able to counter every attack that he made.
Despite being a vastly weaker individual, through pure technique alone, Max was able to hold his own against Nimli.
" How the fuck are you anticipating my attacks? You are moving to counter me before I even make my move!
