"Right. Earth magicians aren't proficient at ranged combat – I am sure you wouldn't be satisfied with me finishing it off from afar..."
Horeo raised his hand and his body shone with the golden light that made everyone watching the scene think of the sun itself.
"Stone armor...!"
Xeonith used a momentary breather and yelped while using his strongest spell again to change himself into a fortress, but it was truly a useless effort.
*SMASH*
"GHAAAAAAARGHHH...!"
The very next second Horeo was already right by him – with a single kick he shattered the stone legs and when the main part his the ground, Horeo dug his hand into it and excavated Xeonith's body like some sort of fossil, making the brown-haired boy shout in pain.
Even with his enchantments activated Xeonith could feel his body breaking.
"If you ever try to mess with my Zoemi, I will rip off your head."
"!!!!"
Horeo brought Xeonith's beaten-up body and whispered into his ear with an indifferent expression.
