Noah took a deep breath and focused inward.
The battle had already pushed him close to his limits, but he could not stop now. Everyone was still fighting. Everyone was still depending on each other.
Mana flowed through his body.
He guided it into his legs first. The familiar sensation spread through his muscles and bones. Strength filled his lower body, making his stance more stable. Then he pushed mana into his arms. The power settled deep inside the muscles, making them feel lighter and stronger.
It was not enough to match Marbas. But it was better than before.
Noah raised his free hand. Four ice weapons appeared around him.
They were two swords and two spears.
The weapons floated in the air, shining with a pale blue glow. Their cold surfaces reflected small fragments of light across the chamber.
Noah gripped his spear tighter and rushed forward.
Marbas had just recovered from the previous exchange. Traces of dark violet energy still drifted around his body like smoke.
