Ollen focused on that strategy, but Billy, with his senses and reaction time, dodged them all. However, when he tried to get close and attack him, a huge Earth spike emerged from the ground and almost impaled him. He, fortunately, blocked the surprise attack with bis bracers. The impact pushed him backward a little and made his bones tremble as well. It was dangerous...
"He is determined to not let me get closer… He is afraid of pain, but that isn't getting in the way of his actions," Billy thought.
Ollen was probably thinking that Billy couldn't do much aside from direct attacks and some special types of melee magic, so from a distance, there was nothing that he could fear. To make sure that would be the case, Ollen created a circle of fire around himself and then began to raise the temperature and the intensity of the flames… That couldn't be good.
