Jin's instincts screamed danger as he saw the mana circle forming behind the thin man. He knew he had to act fast. With a quick step to the side, Jin narrowly avoided the brunt of the spell as it erupted from the magic circle, sending a wave of destructive energy hurtling toward him.
The force of the blast knocked Jin off his feet, sending him tumbling across the ground. He gritted his teeth and quickly got up, staring at the thin man with slight apprehension as the mana circle was still present behind him.
The thin man's face was red, his skin was cracking from the immense mana that he was channeling through his body.
He was not speaking, he probably couldn't even speak normally at this point, because of the exertion he was putting his body through.
The mana circle flashed once more, and Jin jumped to the side right away, narrowly dodging another blow that sent him flying for a bit.
