War (37)

Rain's surprise deepened as he observed the enemy's swift evasion and subsequent change in aura. The shift from a dark aura to a fiery red one caught Rain off guard once more. It was becoming increasingly evident that these adversaries were holding back some of their techniques, revealing their true strength only when necessary.

The transformation in aura seemed to signify a shift in the enemy's approach – a warning that he was prepared to escalate the intensity of the battle. Rain couldn't help but acknowledge the enemy's proficiency and adaptability in combat tactics, making him even more cautious about the battle that lay ahead.

"His whole presence seemed a lot more powerful all of a sudden… aside from high-level healing magic, can they do this?" Rain thought.

Rain assumed that it was a technique that he would learn eventually if he kept focusing on the martial path, but he didn't want to wait. He will have to force the enemy to show that again.
