Julius was fed up with this bastard. While the other goblins wobbled around in blindness, their leader lunged at Julius to try to kill him. Julius had a split second to act. His body was strong, young. He was a Nord, fighting was in his blood. He wouldn't try some trick by blinding the bastard with the stardust, he would disarm and dismember this bastard and retreat before the other goblins regained sight! Using the small amount of mana he had managed to gather, Julius uses it to empower himself, like he had done in Raw Magic class. He would move faster and become stronger for a short period, so he would gain a tremendous advantage over the little goblin. He would slice his neck open and then retreat back to the others before the rest of the goblins recovered from the blind. That is what he hoped at least, he could feel himself slipping from the bleeding. So concentrated was he that he didn't notice Auron's strange behaviour behind him. D) Cast spell: EMPOWER. 3 mana, then C) Counter.
