207 Do you yield? (1/2)
”Do you yield? If you don't I can destroy your internal organs with these needles” said Linri.
Of course, asking an opponent to surrender was out of character for him. However, there was a big reason for that. You see, Linri usually used this ability against hordes of skeletons so he didn't really need to aim well with it. Even if he didn't try to hit something specifically they would just hit a random skeleton in the crowd.
This time he needed to calibrate his attack to hit a single target which was very hard for the current him. He couldn't just aim each and single one of them. It was already good enough if they went towards the direction he intended. Most of the needles he created had hit the wall around Rina and only a small part of them had actually stabbed her. Still, that was enough to cover her with needles which should say something. Secondly, since this was an attack made from a defensive ability it didn't carry any power and each of the needles just hit for [1x Average Strength]. Linri might raise their speed with using his ice manipulation but he couldn't make them any harder! So the damage he dealt to her was actually much lower than what it seemed at first glance.

The good thing was in this time frame she had spent three times as much as the prana he had spent. The bad thing was it wasn't even close to half her maximum prana pool while he was already halfway there!
Worst of all his attack had only dealt a measly 23 damage! He had to make her scared and give up otherwise he had no way to deal any more damage. He might keep making an [Ice Wall] and exploding it afterwards but he was doubtful whether she would fall for the same move twice. What about when she was moving at superior speed? He would have no way of hitting her again!
*Cough*
Linri watched as Rina coughed a mouthful of blood. This was to his benefit as she might actually get scared and give up now.
”Let me see you try that!” Rina said as she locked her gaze to Linri. She looked horrifying. There wasn't a speck of her beauty left as her face was covered in blood.
”You asked for it!” Linri said as he reached out his hand towards her and clenched it into a fist activating his signature ability [Ice Manipulation]!
[AoE Lightning]
Rina's body started to spark with lightning. Then she fired a cone of lightning towards him from her hands and during the process all the ice needles covering her body vaporized!
Oi, oi, oi, oi! Even though they were separated into thin needles those thing still had [2x Exceptional Endurance]! How the fuck can you melt them so easily!?

Linri tanked this attack with his ice shield and the ones that splashed onto him was stopped by his armour, making it so that he took minimal damage from the attack but there was an additional effect not stated in the skill's description; paralyze!
Despite it not being stated, Rina's attacks carried the status effect paralyze. Status effects were not implemented in the club so it was not in the descriptions of the abilities' themselves. For example, Linri's fire attacks carried the burn status effect while his ice attacks carried frostbite. Since his ice was usually -40 C° or lower the moment it touched the skin it froze the tissue and as for fire, there was no need for him to explain right?
