Ruthless Retaliation

Rock shards flew everywhere in a cacophony of rumble and collision as Lucius' pupils constricted. Things were looking grim. But at least he bought enough time for his next spell.

A barrage of earth arrows shot from the barrier, aiming to riddle Gaston's body like cheese.

Unfortunately, Lucius seriously underestimated Gaston's determination and ruthlessness... towards himself.

"RHAAAAA!" With a ferocious roar of defiance, he dashed through the barrage, enduring the stinging agony of feeling his muscles punctured.

Despite the purple mist covering him, helping to mitigate the damage, blood gushed everywhere. Undeterred, he deflected the most threatening projectiles, ignoring the others.

The noise of his boots colliding with the ground reverberated as he closed in on Lucius' shell.
