Ned wanted to leave the place or the hole. But sensing the relentless Tailor trailing behind him, he needed a plan.
Ned drew mana from his Core and sent it to his senses, to enhance his perception even further, Ned used the Detect skill. His focus was at Tailor behind him doing a series of mastered gestures with his hands as he conjured another spell and aimed only at Ned. There were dozens upon dozens of both the Hunters and enemies scattered inside the cave. The crowd from before were nowhere to be found, either they fled (which Ned doubted) or were killed by Su'ayun—which he assumed most likely.
"Su'ayun," Ned muttered, limping to the center. Once he was at the edge of the shattered stage, he cycled the mana to his wrist and conjured the Zephyr spell, effectively draining his mana to less than 200, and was continually exhausted by the Silk Road, trying to maintain the bare minimum to defend him from attacks.
