Chapter 13: Big Boom!
Lian trembled, slightly frightened. He could not compete against a monster of that caliber; he would be killed in an instant. He could not even read its movements.
"I could use magic!" he thought, his eyes widening. His previous attack had been powerful enough; he was certain it could harm that monster.
"But it is too fast. It could dodge the blow without issue. Moreover," his expression darkened, "I could accidentally hit one of the Knights. After all, I do not have full control over my spells. What is more, I am not even sure I could replicate what I did before..."
The sound of a low, pained growl drew his gaze away from the battle with the Iron 5 Shadow Wolf.
His eyes turned to the scene nearby, where the three monsters were keeping Dax occupied.
But the Knight was not weak by any means. Somehow, he had managed to slash his sword downward, slicing clean through one monster’s flank, severing its leg.
"Well done!" Dax thought, his gaze resolute. He burned with determination to prove he could handle this alone, without relying on others’ aid.
Seeing the scene, Lian’s eyes sparkled with excitement.
"An opportunity!" he murmured. Without thinking, he positioned himself and prepared his spell.
"Geometric Spells: Circle."
Closing his eyes, the shape of a circle appeared in his mind. His hand was aimed at the wounded monster.
