Loken's sudden attack declared that the conversation was over. Violent lightning shot straight toward Patrick, striking his Mana Shield head-on.
Faced with a bolt thicker than his own body, Patrick could not even be bothered to parry. It was not that his strength had truly reached the level of a Titan Keeper, but rather... Loken was simply too unimpressive now.
