If it had been a month ago, Roland would have definitely summoned the shield-wielding puppet to protect himself.
However, there was a big flaw in that kind of protection: the puppet was easily knocked away and had no protection against attacks from above.
But Roland didn't need to go through such troubles now that he had Magic Shield, the Mage's strongest defense, a defensive spell that could be used for the rest of his life.
Three human-faced spiders landed half a meter in front of him, huge sharp-toothed mouthparts stretched out, and all were blocked by a transparent Magic Shield as a result.
The mouthparts shattered inch by inch under the high-speed impact, and the three spiders screamed before being bounced back.
As for the other two drows, one went invisible, the other leaped back several meters and with a movement of the hand, three throwing knives—one on the left, two on the right—flew in an arc towards Roland's Magic Shield.
