Veylin smiled in disdain upon hearing the lady in the mask and focused his attention on the ten spheres of black flames.
Seeing them circling around him, he decided to take his chances. With his spear aimed at the lady's heart, he struck five times in quick succession, but the moment he attacked, one of the five flame spheres turned into a shield and appeared in front of the lady, blocking his strikes.
A look of understanding flashed in Veylin's eyes as he observed this. "You're just stalling for time, aren't you?" he asked.
The lady in the mask responded indifferently, "No, I am not stalling. I am just defending Max."
Veylin's lips curled into a cold smile. "Then you'll have to do better than that." His body began to release lightning in all directions around the lady in the mask.
Some tendrils of lightning reached her right side, some slithered around her left, while others curled behind her. The lightning completely surrounded her from all sides.
