Your support means the world. Let's embark on these adventures together!

With this thought, Kentez hardened his heart, giving up defense. Instead of retreating from Portel's attack, he stepped forward, expending the last charge of energy on his war hammer, striking toward Portel with the power of boundless lightning!

Swish—!

Portel was completely unprepared for Kentez's choice. Her spear tip maintained its inertia, stabbing into Kentez's left shoulder, piercing entirely through, and in an instant, blood gushed forth; his entire arm was nearly rendered useless!

For the war hammer coming down on her, she instinctively raised the small round shield on her left arm to block—!

Boom—!

The terrifying explosion immediately engulfed the entire lumber yard, and the swirling wind stirred the yellow-green stench clouds. Portel's body was sent flying uncontrollably. Having already been somewhat dazed by the stench, she now rolled her eyes back and fainted!

Hawthorne hadn't anticipated this sudden turn of events. Instinctively, he cast two more Magic Missiles at Kentez. Now, with his left arm incapacitated, he could no longer lift his shield to defend; he could only try to twist away, but one missile still struck his chest!

"Ugh—!"

One of his ribs broke, and a painful howl escaped his throat. Ignoring the blood streaming from his left arm, his eyes turned red, resembling a mad boar. He didn't care about his injuries and stepped forward, charging straight at Hawthorne!

The silver Storm Hammer in his hand gleamed with lightning once again. However, this time, he did not throw the hammer.

He had been a warlock and spellcaster for less than three hours. He still hadn't figured out how to channel his magical power into the war hammer in his hand, nor did he have any assurance that the hammer could still fly out after he infused it with magic power.

He had even less certainty that, facing a complex mage, throwing the hammer again would actually kill his opponent—after all, the previous results were evident; the female mage and the Amazon he had struck were both unconscious, yet this white-haired man remained unharmed!

The peculiarity of this guy was quite apparent. If he didn't kill him with this last throw of the hammer and instead increased the distance between them, allowing him to continue using that very painful spell against him, it would be a complete loss!

Thus, to be prudent, he chose to charge in, close the distance first, and then deliver the final lethal blow to Hawthorne!

In his mind, he still retained a kind of underlying stereotype: that mages were not good at close combat, and as long as he got close enough, he would surely win!

In the lumber yard, a battered and bleeding warrior was madly charging toward a spellcaster whose magical power and stamina were nearly exhausted. This was undoubtedly a stalemate, and the outcome was about to be decided!

Seeing the other party running frantically, Hawthorne gasped for breath, his lungs stinging; he knew he had no stamina left to keep running and could no longer avoid colliding with him.

Given that two Magic Missiles were unlikely to kill the opponent, he decided not to cast that cantrip again. Instead, he quietly cast another protective cantrip, "Blade Ward."

It seemed unavoidable now, so he would solve this final battle in close combat!

Fortunately, having chosen the Pact of the Blade, he also possessed means for close combat!

Thinking this, he reached for his waist, then stepped forward directly, not flinching. Kentez swung his war hammer with one hand, and as the square hammer fell, it gleamed with lightning once more, carrying immense electrical power as it crashed toward his chest!

Come on!

Hawthorne was prepared. The incantation was already complete: "Absorb Elements!"

Absorb Elements.

Similar to Shield, it was a powerful protective spell for a short duration. Its duration was also only six seconds, but while Shield mitigated piercing, bludgeoning, and slashing physical damage, Absorb Elements targeted elemental damage such as fire, ice, lightning, acid, and thunder!

Bang—!

The square hammer slammed into his chest, shattering the mark of "Blade Ward." However, the force of the hammer was significantly reduced, hitting his Mage Armor, and was further mitigated by the force field of "False Life," leaving it with very little power.

At the same time, he smacked his left hand against the spellbook in his waist pouch, and Thunder Wave suddenly activated!

Boom————!

The tremendous sound wave reverberated throughout the entire lumber yard, and a massive repulsive force exploded outward, sending Kentez tumbling!

Hawthorne gasped for breath, the residual pain from the hammer striking his chest still lingered a bit. The lightning that spread from the blow was soon absorbed by the spell "Absorb Elements." He only felt a slight tingling in his chest for a moment, and the pain was hardly stronger than the static shock one might get in winter!

Very good, I withstood it!

The corners of his mouth curled slightly, and his body gleamed with countless flashes of lightning, which were the elemental energies he had absorbed from the spell.

The spell "Absorb Elements" not only significantly mitigated the elemental damage he received but also allowed him to use the absorbed elemental energy for himself.

This is the power of a spellcaster: their complex casting techniques can leave non-spellcasters feeling helpless. Even if they acquire one or two powerful magical weapons, they can still be countered, and all their efforts can end up benefiting their opponent!

Just like now!

Hawthorne then raised his right hand, and the absorbed lightning energy coalesced at the position of his hand, extending into countless strands that formed a long sword in mid-air.

This was the ability he gained from his "Pact of the Blade," allowing him to construct a melee weapon that could resonate with his thoughts!

The simplest use of the elemental energy absorbed by "Absorb Elements" was, like now, to attach that absorbed elemental force to his weapon before launching an attack!

"Die!"

He growled, his gaze fierce, and the electric sword in his hand swung straight towards Kentez's neck, its speed akin to that of a swordmaster who had immersed themselves in the art for many years!

Snap!

The fallen Kentez slightly turned to evade a critical hit, but the blade of the Pact easily sliced through his leather armor, cutting into his right shoulder!

In an instant, a powerful current surged through his entire body, causing Kentez to become rigid; his hair stood on end as his eyes widened in anger: "Ugh—!"

This could be considered poetic justice!

For a moment, Kentez was unable to move, frozen on the ground, while Hawthorne immediately gripped the sword with both hands and aimed for his neck with the second strike—!

Swish—!

The Pact Weapon, created by magic, had no weight. Even someone as physically weak as Hawthorne could swing it at maximum speed. Kentez, paralyzed throughout his body, was completely unable to dodge, and was instantly slashed across the jugular artery by the blade!

A surge of hot blood gushed out, instantly covering Hawthorne's entire body. Just as he was filled with adrenaline, being doused in this blood felt like having a bucket of cold water thrown over him, leaving his expression dazed and his body cold!
