Encouraging myself with my own words, I immediately began pouring every last bit of mana I possessed into my staff.
I allowed it to devour everything without restraint.
Then I fed it even more, drawing in the mana permeating the air around us.
My body began glowing with a brilliant azure aura.
And gradually…
That aura continued to swell.
The crystal at the tip of my staff blazed like a frozen star as I began constructing the image of ice within my mind.
A vast amount of it.
An ice spell powerful enough to strike all those knights and their commander at once…
And penetrate through their armor.
"Hurry! They're almost here!"
My companions kept shouting beside me as the knights drew closer.
They were honestly getting on my nerves, but I couldn't blame them.
Only a few meters separated us now.
And with every passing second…
That distance grew smaller.
Five meters.
Four.
Three.
Two…
One.
