In the bleachers and behind screens, everyone was gasping, reeling from shock, or cheering loudly.
The transformation Phoenix had just gone through was not only a great show of force, but it was also badass as hell! Plus, this meant so much to all the mages watching the tournament.
She had effectively just countered a melee player at a melee distance! This was huge!
Most mage players knew they could never emulate the feat, but the possibility of it being feasible was already groundbreaking. Close combat was a mage's biggest weakness.
If there was a solution to it, that effectively made mages practically invincible! Some players stopped watching the tournament, then and there, logging back into the game, to try to reproduce what they had seen.
It would take months before another player copied this feat, and it was not a possibility for run-of-the-mill players.
Khalor looked at Phoenix, grinning.
'She used it,' He thought.
