Limas held an Azure Staff. It was blue from end to end, unlike ordinary staves made of wooden shafts set with gems.
The staff was entirely azure, as though one were gazing upon a vast ocean.
With the staff in hand, he immediately launched his attack.
But Limas's target was neither Neptulon the Tidehunter inside the building nor Jaina.
Attacking Jaina would have been asking for trouble. Her strength had already reached the Heroic rank, and she had advanced beyond the early Hero stage. Limas had not even reached the Heroic rank himself. If he chose to attack her, he would certainly gain nothing. He might even give off killing intent that Jaina would sense, allowing her to detect his attack before it struck and retaliate.
As for attacking Neptulon the Tidehunter, that was even less necessary.
Neptulon the Tidehunter was his objective now. How could he possibly attack him directly?
There was no need to attack anyone else, either. Instead, he began attacking the surrounding building. His aim was extremely simple: destroy it.
This building had been specially treated to prevent any elements from entering.
A building treated this way was also extremely vulnerable. As long as any part of it was damaged, the elements outside would begin pouring in.
Once the elements entered, Neptulon the Tidehunter could absorb their power and begin recovering.
That was Limas's goal.
His plan worked remarkably well. Although Jaina had been on guard against Limas, she had assumed that if he made a move, he would target her first, launching a surprise attack to wound her severely. With help from his accomplices, he would then surely be able to kill her.
Even if they intended to kill her, Jaina knew that she would prioritize saving her own life rather than continuing to guard
