This time, he seemed to pick up on Elliot's mental command and positioned himself between the nearby tree and the orc. The orc's horizontal attack cut him in half, as he had nothing to defend himself with, his arms seemingly unable to recover.
But as it cut him, the power of the attack weakened, striking the tree behind him and splitting it in two, further weakening it and ending up barely grazing Elliot's strengthened sword.
He had learned something when his summons were killed: Once they die, they become temporary stat points for him.
And the ratio of stats they become is equal to the ratio he used to strengthen them. For example, in this case, the goblin has 20 points in vitality, 15 in strength, and 5 in agility. These come from 4, 3, and 1 stat points, respectively.
