Zein might call it 'luck', but it was more than that.
No, it wasn't a power boost that might cause addiction to Bassena, but he did feel his skill became more effective--especially after he tried to rush and struck the core directly before it could protect itself. A large crack appeared instantly, although it wasn't enough to destroy the core completely.
Ah, well--Bassena didn't think it would be that easy anyway.
But destroying the debris and wood coming at him in one strike was not a problem. Immediately, Bassena knew what the shards did; they injected some of Setnath's energy--or should he call it a blessing? To put it simply, it gave Bassena an added attribute that was the most effective against miasmic beings.
Ah, truly...what a great luck.
"He's having fun," Zein smiled inside the barrier. His words prompted the others to look in the direction of the lake.
