The earth under Noland's feet wriggled a few times, and a hard earth spike burst out of the ground, whooshing towards his groin.
Noland couldn't avoid it, and was immediately pierced through by the spike from bottom to top.
However, the scene of blood splattering didn't occur.
The "Noland Lee" that was pierced by the earth spike gradually faded and became transparent, finally turning into a bubble shadow that disappeared from Festa's sight.
"Mental Magic? Or some sort of Illusion Magic?" Festa raised his hand, grasping his gray beard, a solemn look in his eyes.
He touched the Mental Protection pendant under his robe; it was cold and showed no signs of being triggered.
"It seems to be some kind of Illusion Magic... one that could catch me off guard. This could be troublesome."
Festa muttered to himself, wrinkles forming on his forehead.
