The purple-robed Mage was startled, then heard the sound, similar to tearing fabric, from behind. Catherine, who he had disregarded, charged at him with Fearless Charge once more, her sword aimed at his back of his head. The sharp sword, shining with the light of Aggression, collided with the Mage's Magic Shield. A temporary pale blue Magic Shield morphed under the attacking sword filled with penetrating Aggression. When the sword had spent almost all its force, the Shield could no longer hold and dissipated into thin air.
The moment the Shield disappeared, Catherine didn't hesitate. Her nearly charred left hand clenched into a fist and hit the back of the Mage's head. At the same time, Pannis in front slid his feet, forming a quick curve towards the Mage and approaching swiftly from the side. His dagger appeared and reappeared in his fingertips, like the sharp fangs of a venomous snake.
