Was it going to work at the first try?
Elio didn't need to think.
Elio's Mana: 6
Speed Enhancement Rune (Aether Wind) 2He + Ne + 3N* + Li* + Mana → LiHe₂NeN₃* = Acceleration
His last mana points and all remaining strength in his muscles channeled into an explosive impulse.
Elio's Mana: 2
Zentros tried to stop him, but Elio was already moving, his body an arrow, shot toward his companions.
The distance seemed infinite, each meter an eternity while the artromus's claws descended toward Mei and Aria.
He arrived just in time, his sword intercepting the claws.
Enhanced Weapon Rune (Metallica) 33Fe + 3Ni + C* + Mana → Fe₃₃NiC* = Weapon 2x Enhancement
Elio's Mana: 0
The impact reverberated through his exhausted arms, but he managed to make a huge cut and deflect the lethal blow.
