Enhanced by Unholy Mana, Matthew's stats increased by more than twofold. Meaning that, basically, his level skyrocketed from level 39 to something close to 100. However, as Faralynn and the others showed, lower level creatures in a group were more dangerous than the sum of their levels.
Fighting two Quibungos at once, both at level 50, Matthew was having a hard time.
Even though Belial's blade could easily cut through most Vital Shields, hitting your target depended solely on the skill of its wielder.
The Quibungos vocalized loud gritty howls from their mouths on their backs, taunting Matthew to attack them. When Matthew stepped forward to cut his target, they stepped back while the other one tried to get Matthew from the back.
Matthew was forced again and again to dodge.
When he brought out his gun to shoot them, they quickly separated and repeated their strategy to draw his attention on one side while the other tried to attack on the other.
