Baal took a slow breath in even while the fireballs were coming in hot. Yet, it was still too close for comfort for some of the Demopolis Army as they were not as fearless as the commanders and captains.
But with a huff and a puff from Baal, all the fireballs froze in midair unable to consume the magical energy that Baal had emitted. His breath of frigid ice had caused those who were worried about imminent destruction to let out a sigh of relief. Almost every Demon Rat Mage on the scene was surprised by the change in development.
They were fairly certain that the fireballs alongside with the absorption spell should have dealt the counterblow they were all waiting for. Even Prideblood, the Demon Rat Mage General were surprised by how his unique spell which he had infused and spread through the Demon Rat Mages had been rendered useless.
