Rina tried to heal Luke as fast as possible, but the wound wasn't closing as fast as usual. Those seeds could make plants grow… Plants that feed on their target's blood and they also could even decrease their healing speed. It was quite the nasty plant… As expected of one of the attacks of the wannabe poison ivy. It certainly was one of the abilities that a woman was born with, that only made Luke madder, though.
Regardless, thanks to that attack, the fish-man had the chance to recover before Luke could capitalize on his first attack. In any case, it wasn't like he was expecting to take one of them that fast.
"Shalia, focus on blocking her attacks," Luke said. "Keep an eye on all of her moves."
"You got it," Shalia said and then nodded.
"Rina, focus less on endurance and more on strength with your support," Luke said. "I can take their hits."
"... All right," Rina said.
