Kothar dispelled the portal just in time, narrowly avoiding being taken out by one of his own spells. If he hadn't had the Spatial Necklace, he would likely be dead.
Sweat beaded on Kothar's forehead, under his mask, as he processed how close he had been to dying due to a stupid mistake.
"Come on then, weakling!" The Imperial Elite slapped his enormous blade against his palm, taunting Kothar.
Kothar decided to go all out straight away, opening dozens of tiny portals all around him and the Elite, who looked around in amazement. Spatial Mana was uncommon enough, but for someone to be able to cast so quickly was even more rare.
The Elite scoffed at Kothar's many portals, and ignored them, charging forward toward Kothar. But Kothar was prepared now, he opened a portal behind the Leite, opening another under his own feet, closing it as soon as he shot out the other side.
