"Probably, its Int is only one because its a zombie. Just be careful, it has 50 Strength and can probably squash any of us like a bug in one hit... not only that... but it also likes to rip large boulders right from the ground and chuck them." Ren said to the both of them after Lucian voiced his strategy, Ren beginning to move to a different position as Lucian used his Chained Mana Surge Skill against the hulking beast. 

---
Lucian Chained Mana Surge: 32 - 11 = 21

Hit! (Max Damage)

Damage Dealt: 9
---

All three surges hit, but the damage of the second and third one were 0, as evident by the 0 that appeared above the creature's head when the two smaller surges hit it. It was a good skill, but on a tough creature like this seemed to lack real offensive capabilities. Lucian would be better off saving his MP for an emergency or not using the second surge. 

Ren saw how somewhat ineffective the low level skill was and stopped running, turning to Lucian, calling to him, not needing to worry about the stupid zombie hearing their plans as with its Int of 1 it probably couldn't understand them anyways. . "Let me Siphon your MP! Your skill can barely dent it, I would be better of using it with my skills while you two play decoy." Ren wasn't trying to sound mean, he was only trying to make a point, and there was some truth to it. Ren had fought this thing before and seemed to have more powerful skills that probably also stemmed from his extra month's worth of experience with the power that let him figure out how to get things like this. 

Lucian's shield still had about twenty four seconds left of activation time, but whether or not it could take a full hit from this beast and still let him live afterwards was a different story. 

The creature was looking towards Lucian now, but Mike still had a little bit of time left to act before the creature began its counterattack, its somewhat clumsy counterattack.
