Just as Lucius was about to slash the barrier horizontally, he looked at the two Mages outside who were standing at least 10 meters away from each other.
There was a magic circle on the hand of the mage who had a red orb. The magic circle was directed towards him. Lucius could tell from a single glance that the bandit was casting an attacking spell.
He completely threw away the thought of destroying the barrier for now. He hurriedly retreated his sword and decided to focus on defense for now.
"I should defeat now if I am off guard and hit by his attack then I will surely die or be seriously injured judging from how much mana he is investing in the attack." Lucius thought to himself.
Lucius stood there silently, he waited for the completion of this spell of the mage. A few seconds passed away in the blink of an eye during this time, Lucius didn't dare to take his eyes off the magic circle.
A second or two later, Lucius saw 7 more magic circles forming around the mage. The magic circle was absorbing mana from the atmosphere like a vacuum absorbing dust.
A few seconds later, the Magic circle began to glow brightly. They were glowing so brightly that they completely illuminated the entire place during the night.
"Flame burst!!" The mage who had a blue ward shouted as he pointed his wards towards Lucius.
Right after he screamed hundreds and hundreds of bursts of flame began to fly toward Lucius. Within a few seconds, around a thousand small balls of flame had emerged from the magic circles.
When Lucius saw this, he widened his eyes in disbelief but he still had a single question.
"Won't they be stopped by the barrier?" Lucius thought to himself.
A few seconds later, Lucius shook his head as he made a realization.
"If it had been stopped by the barrier then he would have never launched this spell at me. I need to be prepared to be able to deal with them" Lucius muttered under his breath.
A few seconds later, hundreds of small balls of flame passed through the barrier and flew towards Lucius. Lucius didn't panic, instead, he calmly dodged as many attacks as possible.
He slashed the balls of flame in half which he couldn't avoid. The moment he slashed the balls of flame in half, Lucius used the flame produced after slashing the flame balls in half to cover his sword with flames.
Lucius looked behind him and saw hundreds of balls of flames flying toward the summon and the bandit.
"These balls of flame will also take out the bandit. Don't they even worry about their allies" Lucius thought to himself as he stared at the ball of flames that flowed towards the bandits.
The bandit saw the ball of flames charging towards them but they ignored it, like they cared about it even a bit. A frown appeared on Lucius' face when he saw this.
"Why aren't they worried about them?" Lucius thought to himself as he dodged the balls of Flames.
However, his confusion didn't last for long as he saw the ball of flames dissipating into countless small fragments when the ball of flames was 1 meter away from the.
Lucius widened his eyes in disbelief when he saw this, he looked at the bandit and the same thing happened to the ball of flames when it reached the 1-meter mark.
"Why do the balls of flames disappear when they get close to them?" Lucius exclaimed, his voice carrying frustration.
The bandits heard his exclaim but they didn't answer, they revealed a big smirk on their face. The balls of flame hit one of his summons, he hurriedly gave out orders to his summons when this happened.
"Try your best to dodge the balls of flame" Lucius gave out orders using his spell connection between them.
The summons didn't reply but he knew that they got the answer so he focused on dealing with rainballs of flame that were directed towards him.
"I must quickly end this battle," Lucius thought.
Lucius kept dodging or slashing the small balls of flame every time he got the chance to do so.
Every time he slashed the ball of flames in half, Lucius used the flame control skill attached to the sword to use the flames to cover his sword in flames.
However, occasionally he was hit by the ball of flames. Wounds kept accumulating on his body as his body was hit by the ball of flames.
However, he wasn't too worried about being hit by the ball of flames because even if his health drops then he can still take care of his wounds by consuming a potion to heal himself since he had tons of potions available.
The balls of flame hit the summons more frequently and caused the health of his summons to drop. He was worried about the HP of the summon dropping to 0.
"If the health of the summon drops to 0 then it will take a long time for it to completely recover. If this happens then the bandit who is occupied by the summon will charge towards me.
I can't deal with a bandit and a rain of balls of flames together. I must quickly escape from this barrier" Lucius thought to himself.
He thought about what to do as he kept slashing the balls of flame or dodging them. A few seconds of thinking later, Lucius got an idea of how to break the barrier.
"I will use the flames to strengthen the flame of my sword and then use Greatsword Strikes to destroy the barrier.
Then I will rush towards the mage to take them down. I will create at least 15 more Flames by using the mana recovery potion" Lucius thought to himself.
With a determined look, Lucius kept slashing as many balls of flames as he could. He used the flame produced from the balls of flames to strengthen the flames around his sword.
A few minutes passed by, and the rain of the ball of flame had become much weaker. Lucius frowned slightly when he realized this. He saw the faces of the mages had become pale.
"Maybe, they are out of mana," Lucius thought to himself.
Lucius just shook his head and focused on strengthening the Flames around his sword. When he felt the flames had become powerful enough.
Lucius began to perform the footwork of the Greatsword art to exert as much strength as possible from his muscles.
A few seconds later, he began to channel throughout his body uniquely as he performed the foot arts.
A few seconds later a notification flashed in his retina.
(You have used Muscle Enhancement.)
(You have invested a total of 100 mana points. Your strength has increased by 200 temporary
Current available mana:103)
Lucius felt slight pain through his muscles but he just ignored the pain, he took out a small bottle using his left hand. Then he gulped the potion completely.
The moment he gulped the potion, a notification flashed in his retina.
(You have consumed Grade:E low tire-mana recovery potion)
(Your mana has increased by 200 points.
Current available mana: 303)
"I still have 3 more potions left. I must use them carefully." Lucius thought to himself as he performed the footwork.
Lucius didn't drink the health recovery because his health gradually increased as the summons dealt damage to enemies due to the skill Lifesteal.
The process was slow but it was nevertheless better than nothing. His HP was nearly full.
A few seconds later, he was done performing the footwork just as he was about to slash the barrier, a few seconds later the blade collided with a barrier.
The moment the blade collided with the barrier, a powerful shockwave was produced that caused his summons, and then the bandits to lose their balance for a split.
However, despite all this not even a scratch appeared on the barrier, which caused Lucius to frown heavily.
"I will just have to continue slashing the barrier" Lucius muttered under his breath.
With a determined look, Lucius kept slashing the barrier continuously without stopping even once. A few slashes later, a crack appeared on the barrier that caused Lucius' eyes to shine like stars in the sky.
"Let's go!" Lucius exclaimed, his voice carrying excitement.
