Skullius recognized the foreign feel when the forty and some armored individuals set off their mana which towered over each of them like a visible twister tinged with bluish-white that threw around their surroundings hatefully.
Trees around them along with the innocent, stationary ground were dug into, and then a majority of the mana they released flooded to their feet and poured into their shadows which became distorted. Whether their shadows stretched backward, forward, left, or right, each curled and elongated, forming an ugly, colossal shape from which hints of light began to pour out.
Skullius frowned.
'Portals…' he thought.
Summoners, unlike Tamers, called forth abominations from unknown places after using the allure born out of how their class energy to attract these monsters and make contracts with them.
