Gorin leaped back a few meters as several roots reached for him. Almost falling into the moat, he stopped himself and then charged in at Aric.
Aric wanted to use Appraisal on Gorin to see his strength and other stats, but Gorin was not allowing him to do so.
Aric would have been able to fight a lot better here if he was fighting to kill, but he didn't want to seriously harm him.
As Gorin charged in, roots shot out of the ground and swung at him. He used his sword to cut through it, but it grew back instantly and grabbed his wrist, tossing him high into the air.
More roots shot out of the ground, chasing after him. He spun in the air and used his sword to cut through them.
He landed, but the roots didn't stop chasing after him. Gorin stomped his feet on the ground, and several earth pillars shot up and surrounded him, blocking off all the roots.
