After all, most people typically mastered just one elemental skill. Those proficient in two were exceedingly rare.
As Howard consecutively deployed skills of different elemental affinities, it was only natural for them to be astonished.

The impact felt as if he had struck a steel plate. A massive recoil jolted through him, causing searing pain in Nick's arms and making him stumble back several steps.
Mike, on the other hand, had maneuvered to the back of the Kobold Captain, brandishing his daggers in succession.
