Chapter 30: Crimson Judgement
[Bladed Mantis LV30]
The black mantis with blood-red eyes was fast—too fast for even Gabriel's eyes to follow due to his low perception stats.
"A mage and a warrior, huh," Gabriel furrowed his brows. Though their classes weren't displayed on their heads, it was much easier to detect them.
For one, most mages wielded staffs, as they enhanced casting speed and boosted magic power, while warriors often wore heavy armor and carried crude weapons.
Plus, their fighting style was brutish.
"Damn it, it's too fast! I can't get a proper hit!" the mage shouted in panic, sweat rolling off his face.
Further ahead, the black mantis zigzagged through the battlefield, kicking up a cloud of dust as it dodged all the mage's magic blasts.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
"Aggghhh!" the warrior roared as he charged forward and slammed his shield into the wall.
However...
Just before the clash, the mantis vibrated its forearms and body.
