บท 72: Narrow Defeat

This hurt his self-esteem…

Old Grimm felt incredulous looking at the young mage before his eyes. The same person couldn't even tell if a spell was really released a few days ago, but in the battle just now, he accurately judged Old Grimm's intention with a Mental Confusion spell. He seized the brief pause after Old Grimm's spell-casting and successfully suppressed it with a few low-level spells…

Old Grimm's fear swelled as he watched Lin Li grow stronger day by day.

He recalled the shot of Ice Blast earlier on; if he had not encountered the bite of mana, the one lying on the ground now would be him.

"I'm still too impatient." Lin Li recovered from the dizziness caused by the Arcane Missiles, but he was not in a hurry to get up. Instead, he sat on the cold floor and summed up his earlier failure. This was a habit he had developed in the recent days. After each failure, he would analyze the combat and look for the key to his failure.
