Nolamine knew why Dumpie had said that those who study their opponents while defending all the time will always be at a disadvantage.
It was because attacking allowed you to expose your opponent's weaknesses, while just defending only revealed your opponent's attacks and spells.
The issue was that in that first series of attacks, Dumpie seemed to have not used any spells, only attacking with power and skill. He had seen how Nolamine would defend himself. That was not even Nolamine's biggest problem. It was the fact that he had been fighting at max from the start.
He had pushed his Body Vibration to the limit just so as to keep up with the old man and not die from his attacks.
Warriors were looking like they would be harder to go up against than any other opponent, especially if they fought like Dumpie had been fighting.
