Sigrid paid no attention to Asksan, she merely made sure Lanci was safe behind her, her purple eyes locked onto Asksan like they were honing in on prey.
The cold stare-off between the two bishops was the quiet before the thunderclap of a storm rolled across the sky. The confrontation between the mighty ones was about to erupt once again in this northern city-state.
An invisible link of magical power had already been established between Lanci, who was far away, and Sigrid.
This was the eighth-order Purple Rareness level spell 'Life Link' that Sigrid used to protect him. It was capable of sharing life status with the target. It would only be disengaged once a certain distance had been reached, and it would also provide a subset of physical and mental attribute bonuses to the linked individual.
The cost of this link was that when the linked person was harmed, the user of the spell would also suffer the same harm.
