Putting His Life On The Line

"Mongrel!" 

Xiao Lin calmly and clearly repeated it a few times. He was using Ancient Normese. If Planet Norma and Earth's ancient civilizations really did interact with each other, the sea god would not be too unfamiliar with those words.

Sure enough, the sea god was angered once again.

Without the use of any magic, and without controlling any water, Poseidon sent his fist straight at Xiao Lin's torso. After regaining his strength, Xiao Lin could have used his power on dodging with Phantom Steps, and he would at least have been able to avoid most of the damage, but he did not do so.

Dodging pointlessly might be able to make the battle last a little longer, but it was pointless. He needed to delay it for an hour, not just a few minutes.

So compared to defending, counterattacking was more effective.
