No more holding back!

   "Earth spike!" Wes shouted, channeling his mana and quickly casting another spell.

  Almost immediately, a thin, long and dark brown spike made purely of rocks rapidly formed in front of him. Its edges were pointed, proof of its sharpness and with a simple mental command, the long spike shot towards the purple haired girl, slicing through the air and rapidly closing in on her.

   Leah's eyes widened in shocked as she watched the brown spike close in on her rapidly.

   'I have to dodge this!' She shouted, and immediately tried to cast a spell. 

   "Wa—" But before she could even complete the incantation, the spike closed in on her, lodging itself deeply in the side of her stomach.

   "Arrrg!" She groaned in pain, her hand instinctively moving clutch the part of her belly where the spike pierced.

    The sudden pain broke her balance, and her feet staggered before she eventually came crashing on the ground.
