In a desperate move, Hos managed to detonate his Earth Armor and temporarily escape from Li Yao's relentless assault. Landing back on the ground, he quickly gulped down a Red Potion, which slightly boosted his health.
Normally, fighters in the ring wouldn't resort to health potions. But Hoss had no other option — he couldn't afford to lose.
Even though he had little knowledge about the Vampires, he realized that Li Yao, in his blood-boiling state, was going to be even more formidable. In his current half-health state, another continuous assault would leave him utterly defeated.
As the son of a general and successor to the greatest warrior among the Lizardmen, he was responsible for overseeing this region. Failure was unacceptable.
Hos could not comprehend what was happening. In the 900+ battles that he had fought before, he had always won effortlessly. Only few contenders ever put up a challenge worth his attention.
