Despite his quivering lips and abundant sweat, the mage snapped his head towards the original. He had to protect himself from the rogue first.

In a hurry, he strategically changed his spell, opting to defend himself before counter-attacking.
*"Hoarfrost Guardian!"* He roared, his mana condensing into a hulking tier-five yeti.
The frozen creation came to life the next second, moving before its creator in a flash. It crossed its disproportionate forearms over his torso to endure the flickering ball already on him.
BOOM
