The Dwarves Vampire Mage had not taken two steps before the sound of a harp reached his ears from behind, and all the images surrounding him instantly disappeared.
Dispel Magic.
The one who had just acted was the Transcendent Bard Regina.
Removing magical effects on an enemy was often the highest priority.
Take the Mirror Image Spell, for example.
It was only a second-level Spell.
If it were not dispelled, Thornspike's formidable close combat ability—a treant's—would be mostly wasted.
That's because among the six figures, only one was the true body, with the remaining figures being indistinguishable illusions that could merge and split at will.
And they would mimic the true body's every movement in perfect synchrony.
When Thornspike brought his axe down, there was only a one in six chance of hitting the true body.
If an image was hit, it would naturally shatter on the spot, and the next attack would have a one in five chance of hitting the mark.
