The next moment, Emerald Sparrow saw the sparrow's magic wand transform into a flurry of sparkling magic power.
She had felt the other's position closing in on her and had also realized that Sparrow might have some close-quarters ability at her disposal.
A sense of alarm flashed through her mind, but fortunately, Emerald Sparrow was prepared; as the runes flew out from her sleeve to form a barrier, she had already begun to retreat backwards.
The direction in which she retreated was also carefully chosen, a place that would allow her magical equipment to gain leverage.
"Too slow!"
Sparrow noticed Emerald Sparrow's intention to move and pulled a grotesquely shaped claw-like magical equipment from the chaotic flow, then swung the rope at its end, hurling it toward Emerald Sparrow's direction with a forceful throw.
Almost simultaneously, Emerald Sparrow felt her retreat slowing down.
