The right foot swiftly swept past his nose, the whirlwind enveloping the toes cutting off a few strands of hair. Before he could wipe away the cold sweat from his brow, the left foot accelerated its rotation, aiming for his neck. It struck and broke an alien creature on the wall, leaving a mirror-smooth break while distorting air and light, missing its target.
As Roland retreated from the flurry of kicks, he activated "Collapse." The four magic circles on Li Lin's legs let out a glass-shattering crisp sound, reverting to brilliant Mana and falling. Without any hesitation, he lunged forward, preparing to counter the opponent's close-up strike with his "Barrier" reinforced arms.
This battle was a contest of magic and martial arts. The key to victory besides speed and strength was the crucial "spacing."
