Nathenial observed the situation as the three attacks he just unleashed upon Fennel raced to their target. It was not one of the strongest attacks in his arsenal of runic arts, but the Triple Invoke was the second strongest of his Kill Zone runic series. The runemaster was sure it would at least be strong enough to force Fennel to show more of his cards.
And as expected, Fennel did not look relaxed like he did moments ago. As soon as Nathenial used the Triple Invoke, the runemaster could notice the man tensing up a little bit. It was just for a tiny moment, but Nathenial did catch the movement.
"Absolute Defense!" Fennel intoned, activating the technique again. But it did not end here, as the masked cultivator also activated an additional move.
"Strike Armor!"
This time, it was like something invisible exploded outward with Fennel at its center. Nathenial's eyes narrowed as he noticed the movement of something translucent again.
