"Chase."
Emmon cast the spell, slightly extending the distance between the Magic Technique links.
The head of the Fire Snake seemed to regain "consciousness" and, following the Mage's will, it slithered its fiery body from the tree trunk and lunged at the fleeing blond young man.
"Run, run... Kovis, I won't let you die so easily."
Emmon said loudly, mocking, yet his eyes continuously scanned the shadows of the trees around him.
Another guy was missing.
Just a few steps away.
Holding his breath, Leon leaned against the tree in front of him, quietly listening to the footsteps crunching over dry leaves.
Close enough.
Leon suddenly burst from his hiding spot, setting up the Dharma Seal, charging forward while pointing his fingertips at the Mage Atiyas, just a few steps away from him.
I just knew...
Always vigilant, Emmon immediately raised his Magic Wand, sneering as he opened a defensive barrier against the figure lurking in the shadows.
