Malcolm was pushed back by a gust of chilly wind, the force of it causing him to slide backwards.
"What the hell was this?" Malcolm muttered. He was gaining no advantage despite having an ability that was supposed to make him dominant in a fight.
His blessing summoned a domain that allowed him to temporarily steal one of his opponent's physical stats, boosting his own.
The limitation was that he could only increase the same stat he stole. So, if he stole his opponent's speed, he could only boost his speed.
Right now, Malcolm had nerfed Brandon's movement speed while boosting his own, but Brandon still managed to react in time, using his ice ability to keep Malcolm away despite the difference in agility.
It boiled down to a battle of attrition, and Malcolm knew he wouldn't win as he saw no limit to Brandon's power, which is why he was desperate to finish him now.
