“Alex!!!!” Ezekiel cried out as he saw Alex in a tight situation. The vortex kept pulling her to the center while lightning endlessly struck her. 

BANGG!!!!!!!

“F*ck!!” Ezekiel got knocked off the ground as a poisonous cloud emerged.  Out of carelessness and worry for Alex, he lost focus for a moment and stepped on a landmine. 

[Goblin’s Intermediate Poison]

– Decreases the affected target’s health by two health points every second. 

– Poison lasts for one day unless cured by an antidote

Ezekiel listened to his guardian spirit’s explanation about the status effect he received.

[-2]

[488/500]

“Heal!!” Ezekiel healed his self. Thanks to him leveling up a lot earlier, his [Rejuvenation] healing has been increased. 

He made sure to distribute his stats every time he levels up so that he could catch up with Alex. 

– Name : Ezekiel – Race : Human

– Weapon: Wooden Staff – Title : Sage Candidate

– Character Level : 10 – Weapon Level : 10

– Health : 500 – Mana : 500

– Strength : 25 – Agility : 25

– Stamina: 25 – Intellect : 25

– Wisdom: 25 – Luck : 100

– Experience required to Level: 1969 / 5766 

Though he is still nowhere near close to her strength since she also levels up. And with her ridiculous 15 stats increase every level, the gap between them in the early stage keeps getting further and further. However, she will reach a limit soon with the x2 additional to her experience required. She will need a huge amount of experience points to level up in the future. 

Even though his required experience points increases by 50% every time, he levels up. It is still better compared to the increase by twice of Alex.

Ezekiel gazed in Alex’s direction seeing the lightning strikes starting to subside. However, he still can’t see Alex’s silhouette with all the dust around her. 

“Darn it, she better thank me for saving her ass a lot of times today!!” Ezekiel grumbled as he pushed his feet off the ground as he copied Alex’s way of disregarding the hidden landmines. Even if he isn’t sure if Alex is still alive or not. He needs to make sure he will be there if he lives to protect and heal her in an instant.  “I should have done this earlier…” With Ezekiel’s healing, the poison can’t even affect his health. The fear of having only one antidote stopped him from taking any risk. While running, he heard the goblin shaman’s hoarse laughter in the distance as if he had already won the battle.

“How’s that woman!?? Wind Blade!!” The goblin shaman used wind blade to clear off the dust around the woman. 

“IMPOSSIBLE!!!” The goblin shaman expected to see the woman’s body lying on the ground. However, what met his eyes was the complete opposite. The woman looked unscathed except for her gone armor and the spear and shield. 

“Now you’ve done it!!” Alex gave the goblin shaman a death glare for pissing her off big time. Because of the goblin shaman’s attack, her stats distribution plan has been messed up. 

It was all thanks to Lumiere that she survived the goblin shaman’s barrage of magic. She would have died if Lumiere had asked her to distribute all of her stats first. When she finished her battle with the hobgoblins. 

Lumiere is also the one who helped her come up with a solution on how to survive. If It wasn’t for her suggestion to put all of her undistributed character points to stamina. If Lumiere hadn’t told her of that idea, her health wouldn’t have been enough to endure the lightning strikes. 

“IMPOSSIBLE!!! IMPOSSIBLE!!! IMPOSSIBLE!!!” The goblin shaman stepped back in fear as he met the deadly glare of the woman before her. “THAT WAS MY STRONGEST ATTACK!!! JUST WHAT ARE YOU!!!?”

“I don’t know what you’re saying, but I’m really pissed right now. Don’t you dare run away…” Alex muttered with an icy-cold voice as she stared at her status panel.

“Emerge!!” The last remaining health potion they have appeared on Alex’s hand.

[666/1340] 

“Ezekiel weapon!!” Alex uttered as she saw all the weapons around her had disintegrated into dust. A similar fate with her armor and the spear and shield. 

Ezekiel turned around to look for a weapon for her. However, he did not see anything close to him.

“Hurry!!” Ezekiel glanced at Alex as he heard her cold voice. She was having a hard time dodging the barrage of magic. When the goblin shaman only focused his magic on her. Ezekiel then stared at the weapon in his hand. 

“Arghhhh! F*ck it!! Here!!!” Ezekiel clenched his staff then threw it in Alex’s direction. He hesitated only for a moment but seeing her getting hit once made up his mind. “Once, I’ll let her use it once…” Ezekiel mumbled as he stared at his weapon flying towards Alex. 

Alex twisted her body as she dodged an ice shard coming her way at the same time, grabbing the wooden staff of Ezekiel. “Thanks…” Alex mumbled as she clenched the weapon and glared at the goblin shaman.

“Don’t run, little shaman…” Alex mumbled as her lips turned up. She then pushed her feet forward. 

“YOU MONSTER!!!

“ROCK SHARD!!!!” 

“ICE SHARD!!!!”

“FIREBALL!!!!”

The goblin shaman used magics that were weak and low on mana first to wait for the cooldown of his strongest attack again. 

The goblin shaman threw all of the magic spells he knew at her desperately as he felt the chills on his bone.  While the woman crept in closer and closer to him.

“WHYYY!!!???”

“WHYYYY!!!!???”

“WWWHHHYYY!!!!!???”
