A short distance beyond the crystalline forest that had escaped the deadly killing, Syryn and Lucien peacefully sat in their circles. There was still a large amount of magic gathering and circling inside the red head's sacrificial boundary.
Syryn could feel Lucien abruptly increasing the rate at which magic was being fed into his body; but he wasn't surprised by the redhead's provocative attempt at scaring him. In response to the younger boy's push, the alchemist opened the gates of his mana core and allowed the flood of magic to batter him. He then channeled all the power into creating multiple copies of ice dragons. A hundred icy beasts disappeared through the looped boundary only to appear back inside and repeat the process.
