"Listen, I can't stay in this form forever," William explained as he used his dark magic to pull Est, Isaac, and Ian along with him as he evaded the attacks of the Cyclops.
Since they were fighting on a plain, it gave him plenty of space to dodge its attacks. Although the Cyclops' attacks were powerful, as long as they didn't hit then they would be safe.
"I'm using a forbidden spell that allows me to become strong for a short period of time," William said with a serious expression. "Once this magic runs out, I will not be able to use magic for five years."
"What?!" Est asked in surprise "You will not be able to use magic for five years?"
"Yes," William replied. "Not being able to use magic for five years is still better than dying here. Don't you agree?"
"B-But still…"
"Don't worry. I didn't do this only for you. This is part of my trial as well, so we are in the same boat."
