Another flame dart curved toward Selene.
And another toward Althea.
A flame dart also dropped suddenly behind Torren and aimed for Nox's back.
Torren barely turned in time to block it.
"Behind you!"
Nox jumped forward.
"Thanks!"
The attacks came from strange angles now.
Some curved around pillars.
Some dropped from above.
Some shot forward then turned sharply.
Arthur wasn't focusing on one person.
His attention covered the whole field.
His control was becoming faster with every second.
Ryn kept chasing him.
Arthur had to move while controlling the flames.
Without his intent step it became harder.
But instead of retreating, he adapted.
He released another suppression wave.
Ryn slowed for a second.
But then Ryn's body suddenly changed.
Mana wrapped around him like a thin layer of armor.
Arthur noticed immediately.
"Oh… that technique."
It was the one Lyra mentioned earlier.
Mana flowing around the body like a protective field.
