"Boom."
The man in the gray robe cast a spell in front of him — a Secondary Energy Fireball. In the blink of an eye, a fireball the size of a head smashed into the wall, causing the brick wall to crumble and flames and debris to scatter, leaving a large gap in the wall.
Behind the wall, the tables and chairs were in complete disarray, but the lamps hanging at a higher position on the wall still remained.
A muffled groan of pain echoed from inside the room, clearly indicating that the person inside had sustained significant injuries.
The man in the gray robe let out a strange cry, quite pleased with his handiwork.
He walked toward the gap he created, ready to search inside the room for his prey and spoils.
As he slightly bent over to enter through the gap, a sharp, icy gleam flew towards him, like a white ribbon aimed directly at his body. The man in the gray robe reacted exceptionally quickly, drawing his sword to block while stepping aside to dodge.
"Swish!"
