Li Si put away the Emerald Staff in his hand and drew a dagger that glinted with cold light. Holding it in a reverse grip in his right hand, he watched the dust rising before him warily.
Although the previous attack had struck Andrew, it probably had not done much damage.
Li Si looked at the combat notifications scrolling across the system panel. That kick had been a sneak attack combined with a charged strike, but because of the shield's damage reduction, it had only dealt a few thousand points of damage to Andrew.
For Legendary Mages, maintaining a shield at all times had long become instinct.
That amount of damage would not even count as an injury to a Gold-level professional, much less Andrew, a Legendary Mage.
Mages might have been frailer, but that was only compared to other professions of the same rank.
To those below Legendary rank, even a Legendary Mage's physical resilience was beyond reach.
But for Li Si, who possessed the All-Rounder talent, his current physical strength was on the same level as Andrew's.
He was even slightly stronger!
That was why Andrew had failed to react just now.
Who would have thought that a Gold-level mage could possess greater strength and agility than him?
Damn it!
A fierce gust swept over the mountaintop, instantly scattering the dust that filled the air.
Andrew appeared in midair. His clothes looked slightly disheveled, yet he seemed completely unharmed.
Andrew looked at Li Si, who was holding a dagger, with a mixture of anger and confusion in his eyes.
He was angry because he had actually been sent flying by someone at Gold-level?!
Even if that Gold-level professional was a human who possessed the unprecedented identity of Elf Sage, that still should never have happened!
What confused him
