Taking a moment to resolve himself, Alex disappeared from where he stood and instantly appeared before one of the twelve void creatures, precisely the very last one.
With the last vestiges of his mana, he plunged the spear into the void creature and directed an explosive attack into it.
BOOM!
The creature died before it knew what hit it. Alex had chosen this particular void creature because it was the smallest of the bunch, and one less void creature would be better than struggling against twelve without enough mana to work with.
However, closing in on that void creature to eliminate it had put Alex in their direct path where their tentacles and claws could reach him.
CLANG! CLANG! …
The multiple ringing sounds of metal clashing against claws and tentacles resounded throughout the hall as Alex was pushed back from the recoil of the attacks, moving several meters away.
