Ana's exclamation was loud enough to be heard miles away, making me shake my head in disappointment.
"He wants to engage Victoria in close combat, and after executing such a large spell... Victoria would suffer from rapid mana depletion for a few moments. Noah... he is trying to bet on Victoria's weakness."
Well, at least there was someone with decent understanding of combat.

"What is it?"
I couldn't let my new tool remain an ignorant fool.
My question made Ashlyn turn towards me, before she shifted her attention to the ongoing fight again.
"Is getting close to Victoria for fighting in close combat worth the efforts required to tank such a lethal spell? I don't think he would remain in the state to fight. His body would be punctured with the projectiles—"
"He would be injured for sure, but does it matter if the injury can help him to win."
"..."
