Grey asked seriously, "Can this only negate the effects of the backlash of exploding your puppets on you?"
The Gnome nodded, "Yes, the backlash from the explosion is generally not too strong, but in a battle of equals, losing a bit of your strength can be detrimental to a fighter."
Grey heaved a secret sign of relief when he heard this. Had the Gnomes found a way to completely negate the effects of all backlashes that involved their puppets, then his greatest asset against the Gnomes were gone.
This Gnome did not know the person standing before him was the infamous Grey Dawson, and even if he knew, he would still talk as he did not want to die. Seeing Grey silent, he also did not speak.
