Turning A Bad Situation Into A Good Opportunity

The woman's eyes narrowed as she looked at the masked young man before her. She could not believe that the arrangement she made to the platform was rendered useless.

All the sentries around the platform were magic items she specifically set up to shoot different curses and attacks to prevent anyone from getting close to the tower. On top of that, a defense mechanism was hidden at the thirty-meter mark outside the tower, wherein once triggered, offensive-type magic would indiscriminately attack all intruders. It was meant to summon countless magic swords that would rain down on anything within the defense mechanism's area of effect.

However, the masked young man standing at least twenty meters ahead did not trigger the mechanism. She did not even sense his arrival or his attack. If she were a tad late in using her teleportation token to move out of the tower, she would have been disseminated to nothing.
