Tritus scowled and stopped attacking Obstruction. Since he could not land a hit, it only wasted his energy and time.
In any case, he had already achieved his objective: to stop Obstrucion from escaping.
As Tritus was pondering this, he suddenly sensed a foreboding. Immediately, he scanned his surroundings for any danger.
However, what he saw was something he had not expected.
The rectangular black plates that made up the points of the pentagon shifted and rotated. Then they abruptly stopped, still making up five points. But, instead of turning into a pentagon, the five points connected this time and turned into a pentagram. After that, concentrated magic energy gathered at its center.
Tritus's eyes widened in surprise. In an instant, he rushed toward the pentagram, his arm holding the trident was poise in a throwing motion.
He did not delay and release the trident toward the pentagram even though he had not gathered enough momentum.
