Leon was feeling slightly troubled.
‘I don’t have any magic that can deal with multiple enemies at once...’
Since he had never faced fifty opponents at a time, he hadn’t realized it before, but he lacked area-of-effect spells.
‘I need to learn Mystic magic quickly,’ he thought.
While he was pondering this, the Guardian Robe activated.
Leon turned his head and saw Sengor holding his sword, looking shocked as the blade was deflected. When his companions charged in, Leon floated up into the air.
The Guardian Robe could only block a single attack. The fact that one of its magical circles had been used up by that crude slash made Leon's expression darken.

Even though Leon had cast nine consecutive lightning strikes, they hadn’t fully grasped the significance. They simply thought he needed time to recover after using such powerful magic.
