Alex heard a primal roar and then saw Molgrird zooming through the cloud of dust toward him, with the majority of his body covered in patches of burned flesh while his health was down to thirty percent, which was relatively higher than what Alex expected to remain.
Alex understood that he couldn't summon another lightning bolt or use any damage dealer skill in time before he would get forced to engage in a head-on battle.
Alex couldn't use the Dark Maiden because after getting the temporary Rank upgrade, the skill required 200K mana to execute, and he couldn't use it with his current mana reserve.
Alex couldn't use the Dark Lightning skill because the lightning would get locked onto the target, and in the time it would descend, he would be engaged in close combat, making it do more harm to him than good.
