While Carmen believed Xu Feng must have used an exploit again to learn such a terrifying spell, both Brutus and Razor were inwardly relieved by their previous decision.


    "Good thing we decided not to attack, Razor," Brutus said with a somewhat pale face.


    "You think?" Razor rolled his eyes, his hands clutching tightly on his stomach.


    The st struck his back but managed to prate him, causing his stomach to still feel pain. His regenerative ability was decent, but it wasn''t enough to negate the painful feeling during the recovery.


    "Ah, my bad." It was at this time that Xu Feng recalled Razor was still injured by his Nether st. As an apology, he began healing Razor, much to thetter surprise.


    "Boss is a Cleric?" Razor twitched his mouth in disbelief. You were telling him he got injured by a Cleric?


    A cleric whose role was known as support that healed or buffed people?


    What kind of sick joke was that?


    Not to mention Razor''s astonishment, even Brutus was stunned by the sight.


    They had believed Xu Feng was either an Arcane Mage or Sorcerer after that offensive power, but reality hit differently.


    "Look at the shock you did to them, Guild Leader." Carmen took the chance to tease Xu Feng.


    At the same time, she felt prideful that she wasn''t alone in questioning Xu Feng''s ss. Even NPCs were baffled by his sses, so clearly, the problemy with him and not her.


    "What''s so shocking about this?" Xu Feng rolled his eyes. He didn''t think his Nether st should garner such attention.


    Its offensive power was indeed a bit too much, but there was a big limitation to it. That was the cooldown timer of it.


    Although he could store 2 Nether st, it takes at least 1-5 minutes to fully recover one of the sts, with the timer being dependent on luck.


    And during those 1-5 minutes, it was enough time for a battle to change the tide.


    The only reason why he used Nether st here was because he wanted to test the difference between his current strength against a Tier 3 fighter.


    Sure enough, the effect looked cool, but the actual damage was quite negligible. Razor merely felt some pain, but it wasn''t enough to hinder hisbat power if this was a real battle and not a spar.


    "Anyway, are we going to resume the spar?" Carmen asked, itching to have another go.


    "Oh, you alreadyprehended the main point?" Amused, Xu Feng was somewhat surprised that she managed to grasp his example rather quickly.


    "Mhmm, your movement is fast, but I''ve noticed you made a move before Razor and Brutus even began." Carmen nodded and continued, "You must have analyzed their actions and movement beforehand when I was sparring with them earlier. So you were able to gather some data and utilize it to your advantage."


    "Correct." Xu Feng smiled, praising her for catching up on how he was able to achieve this result. Aside from the fact that Razor and Brutus underestimated him, believing he was easy prey, he also managed to deduce their actions in advance.


    To be more precise, Xu Feng used game theory to gain the upper hand against Razor and Brutus.


    He didn''t just react to their actions; he anticipated them by analyzing their likely strategies based on their roles and overconfidence.


    Knowing that Razor, as a Gunner, would try to keep his distance and fire from range and that Brutus, as a Berserker, would rush in for a powerful melee attack, Xu Feng nned his moves ordingly.


    He predicted their optimal responses to his presence, allowing him to set up a counter-strategy that exploited their expected behaviors.


    By doing this, he turned their own tactics against them, staying ahead of their moves and using their strengths as tools for their downfall.


    "I won''t give much advice, but you should be wary now. These NPCs aren''t foolish enough to fall for it twice." Xu Feng warned softly and stepped out of the sparring field.


    A sly smile appeared on Carmen''s face when she heard his warning.


    Naturally, she was not going to follow his example precisely but adapt from it.


    As she went to the stage and assumed a battle stance, both Razor and Brutus turned focus. It had been quite humiliating and embarrassing for them to be toyed with by Xu Feng, so how could they afford to be aughingstock again?


    "Are you ready?" Brutus asked calmly, no longer nning on going easy with Carmen.


    "I''m ready." Carmen nodded her head.


    "Then let''s begin!" Brutus eximed and rushed toward Carmen. However, to his astonishment, Carmen also stepped on the ground, propelling herself forward.


    "What the?" Confused by Carmen''s action, Brutus reacted a bitte, allowing Carmen tounch a blinding spell through an Elementalist she summoned.


    "Damn it, not again!" Caught off-guard, Brutus hurriedly covered his eyes with his arm, using his other hand to swing his axe.


    "She''s at your 10 o''clock!" Razor shouted when he noticed Brutus swinging at an empty air. To support him, he began firing his gun, only to realize the bullets actually went through Carmen''s body.


    "Not good, a fake!" Razor was rmed and realized what he shot was an illusionist Elementalist who had mimicked the appearance of Carmen.


    And since he had given the false information earlier, Brutus swung his axe at the fake, leaving the injured Carmen alone.


    Indeed, Carmen had tanked the first axe strike, receiving quite a bit of damage but restrained herself from making any sound. By doing so, she had sessfully misdirected their attention. Brutus, who had believed hisrade''s words, now had his back wide open for Carmen.


    "Defend your back now!" Razor cried aloud, hoping that Brutus would react in time.


    s, the warning came just a little bit toote.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om


    "Now you''re warning him?" Carmen sneered menacingly as she went all out and used all her mana to unleash her deadly spell. "ept my full power and enjoy it!"


    KABOOM!
