Chapter 681 Alaric’s New Weapon

  "That is better. But you still need more ferocity and to think of your moves quicker."

"Your feints are not going to work if you keep your eyes glued to the spot you are aiming for."

"Don't overcommit to an all or nothing attack unless you are certain it will connect or have no other option. Otherwise, you are just asking to be countered."

Whack!

"Pughh!"

After Alaric put his all into a single thrust from his sword, Marcus easily side-stepped the attack. He then brought the pole of his scythe up and hit the boy square in the stomach, which caused him to make a pained noise as the wind was knocked out of him.

Instantly Alaric crumbled to the ground and held his stomach in pain while tears streamed down his face.

"Minor cure."

Crouching down Marcus placed his hand on the boy's back and cast his tier one healing magic spell to help him recover.
