The situation finally changed on the 17th day the Gateway was besieged.
On that morning, the mages within the Gateway gathered after their breakfast to discuss a more direct method to gather the elements. They were quite worried about using dual practice as a way to raise their affinity with the elements – they could not actually throw fire balls at the person who was meditating like how they would with water balls, right?
That was why they were having a heated debate on the matter.
On the other hand, Benjamin did his routine check. He stood by the door of the pathway as he used the water particles to sense the situation and check on the surrounding soldiers. What are they up to today? The scene outside the Gateway slowly formed before his eyes based on the response he got from the water particles. Once he fully assessed the situation outside, he froze.
"This… This is…."
