Mu You successfully counter-attacked while, coincidentally, obtaining another pair of Agile Boots. This time, Mu You wasn't in a rush to turn back time.
Indeed, the Hunger Gem was the most valuable, but it didn't provide any attributes. He would have to continue to battle his opponent, and lowering the opponent's Combat Power was his top priority.
The boots were a great find. They were only Excellent Grade equipment, but they provided five points of agility and a 10% increase in movement speed.
In combination with the Thief's Mask he had just obtained, the opponent's agility was reduced by 25 points and additionally slowed down by a tenth.
And the attributes of these boots could be counted on Mu You's own side. Whether he would chase his opponent or flee, he felt more confident because of these items.
[Phantom Thief Vanloon has resurrected at the distant crossroads and doesn't charge towards you. He casts a wary look at you.]
