The Ice Mage appeared 100 meters behind Lawrence. Clearly, he also had a high-grade Blink Gem. He had been smart enough to jump behind Lawrence, preventing him from using the bear's second charge skill. A beautiful dodge.
Thunderous applause erupted from the players in the arena as they cheered for both of them.

He had cast this skill at empty ground because the Ice Mage suspected the Druid possessed the Purple Lotus Staff. If Lawrence got close enough to hit him, he would be silenced for five seconds. That would practically mean certain death.
Lawrence turned back, a cold smile appearing on his face. "What's wrong? Too scared to act so arrogant now?"
The Ice Mage rapidly recovered his mana within the icy mist. "Aren't you too scared to keep pretending? If you've got the guts, stay in Giant Bear Form."
Lawrence snorted. "This combo was originally meant for Lu Yang. I didn't expect you to force it out of me. I won't hold back from here on. Prepare yourself."
