Tayari moves closer to the second ring without actually entering it and prepares a multitude of spells in quick succession. However, she doesn't act yet, and her earring buzzes slightly. 'Hm...?! Did his mana increase? No, that shouldn't be possible, at least not this much in such a short time!'
Tayari's eyes widen with surprise and leaps to the side just as a massive blade of shadow erupts from beneath her, narrowly avoiding it, 'If my earring didn't notify me...!'
"Damn, the vertigo ruined my timing," Raigal complains as he stumbles to the side, while he has merged his mana and celestial force together, his sense of balance is still heavily skewed by the second ring's effects, 'I can't just reenter the center ring, she has definitely prepared traps. She became an archmag not solely because of her power, but because of her strategic mind. If I remember correctly even... Even...?'
