[Center][i]I've seen this before.  The Druid.  I know your game.[/i][/center]

Zigmund summoned not just a water blade but dual blades of water that turned into steel.  With his full power, water-absorbant roots would not be enough.

[Center][i]What!?[/i][/center]

And yet as he cut them, he still felt pain.  Water blades upgrade-transformed to steel and yet the roots could still absorb his life force.  This Druid attack was 3x more powerful than last time.  No... 5x more powerful! But it was a mere bit of pain and his blades cut away any root that tried to entangle him, before jumping up, backwards and out of the root growth.

And then in mid air... before he could even land... he was forced to-  [b]CLASH![/b]  -block.

[Center][i]The Ranger.  Fast.  Faster than before.  Her dagger presses my blade.  Not so easily brushed away as before.  How is she so strong?[/i][/center]

Zigmund and MacKensie were practicly stuck together as gravity brought them to the ground.  His head tilted sharply to one side to dodge her close-range shot.  And when they landed, Zigmund put more effort in to break her pressure and shove her dagger aside.

[u][b]Then, in a split-target combination, he attempted to stab her with his 2nd of his dual blades, skipped backward, then turned and hurled one blade at the Druid.[/b][/u]

[Center][i]It's been a week.  How are they so much stronger?[/i][/center]
