Chapter 36: Indebtedness
"Let’s assess your battle earlier," said Griffin solemnly.
Kaiju’s countenance turned solemn, too, waiting for Griffin to share his feedback on Kaiju’s battle earlier. Kaiju took the battle seriously, despite appearing to be playing with the Thrall. It was obvious that Thrall couldn’t defeat him, that was why they had chosen the time it would berserk to increase the difficulty. He was anticipating the feedback from Griffin. It always had been, but he learned a lot from the latter’s feedback so he was extremely looking forward to it.
"The Thrall’s instinct escalated when it was about to go berserk, but even then, you still managed to conceal your presence from its vision, taking it by surprise. You have utilized the effects of Bloodthorn, making you sever its head as its sharpness soared. You have parried every Thrall’s attacks, but I must warn you, you should avoid doing it since dodging is much better for you, with the effects of the Shadoweave battlegarb.
Out of all that, what I liked the most was how you utilized your new Rare artifact when you appeared in mid-air. To be honest, I don’t recommend you appearing in mid-air, unless you have skills that could gain you footing while in the air. Of course, once, like what you did, is an exception.
What was the effect of your new Rare artifact again?"
"Umbral step," Kaiju quickly replied.
Griffin nodded. "I have noticed every one of your movements was planned. You are presently three steps ahead in the battle."
Kaiju’s eyes gleamed in excitement.
"Of course, compared to mine, I am more than ten steps ahead."
Kaiju was somewhat depressed.
"I was just telling you not to be conceited." Griffin shook his head, trying to erase his image on his head after giving Kaiju’s advice. "Let’s go back to the topic. As far as I recall, the Umbral step has restrictions–it can only be teleported within 5 meters and there should be a shadow around your size. You’ve utilized it really well.
