Now more focused, a list of skills and spells that I can use to beat this guy flash before my eyes. I start off by taking a step back further into the shadows, where my mana will recover faster from all the spells I'm going to cast. He inches forward as well, taking my step back as a sign of a retreat.
I cast all my blessings on myself and flash different colors for a brief second as they take effect. He immediately reacts by jumping towards me, aiming his glaive for my chest once again.
I cast Curse of the Manatee on him, reducing his speed by a margin. Now much faster than him, I easily sidestep his glaive then counter by slashing at his throat. His eyes widen as he somehow manages to step back, and my dagger grazes his throat.
He jumps a good distance between us, and I don't try to pursue, for I hold the advantage now. I cast Invisibility once more and fade from his view.
