It had to be said—
Now that Daniel had switched out of [Offensive Mode], the damage he dealt had clearly taken a significant hit.
But that wasn't to say [Defensive Mode] didn't have its advantages.
Its biggest perk?
Daniel didn't even need to dodge anymore. He simply stood his ground and focused on dishing out attacks.
And because his attack frequency had increased so drastically, the HP of [The Fallen Idol] was still dropping at a rapid pace.
As for Daniel himself?
Well, let's just put it this way—
The damage that [The Fallen Idol] managed to inflict didn't even outpace the speed at which Daniel's Shield Points were regenerating.
Even a World Rank boss couldn't cast five skills in a single second.
If they could, how would anyone play this game?
The two found themselves locked in a stalemate atop the floating island.
The boss's HP wasn't plummeting by any means, but it was on a steady decline.
