Rean did in fact feel defeated. He had just about no options.
His mana skin came undone.
His mana reserves were now nonexistent.
No way he was surviving with just his blade.
'I... I'm so stupid.'
'I could have used more efficient techniques earlier on, but I was so busy relying on skills that would keep me invisible.'
'I don't have my priorities well set.'
'Is this really going to be the end?'
The goblin wasn't done. While Rean chose to partake in a mid-raid crisis, all the hunters were being sent to their maker.
'I have so many new skills I didn't get to test out.'
The goblin was now face to face with Rean.
It activated its technique one more time.
Rean was somehow unharmed.
'What? Am ok...'
"Sorry for keeping you waiting."
'Is that Ridlus'?'
"Yes, it is."
"How did he counter the goblin? What happened to its brutality technique?"
"That's true. I've never gotten to see the sub-captain go at it."
"I think you've done enough," Ridlus said.
