Chapter 59: Ice Shield and Frost Nova

When the arrows were about to arrive at Malakai, the crowd stood up in unison, their eyes fixed on the wolf in awe. A blue, icy barrier appeared around Malakai, its translucent surface glinting in the dim light of the arena. The air seemed to vibrate with magic as the barrier materialized, its power palpable.

Those who had not stood up yet, stood up then, their faces etched with surprise and curiosity. Multiple thoughts ran through their minds, their whispers and gasps filling the air. "How many more tricks does this damn wolf have in its paw?" someone exclaimed. "Is he a magician?" another spectator wondered.

The reason for their surprise was because Malakai hadn't used this ability since his first battle, against the serpent. And at that time, when he used it, he was covered by the serpent's fire, so no one knew of it. The crowd's eyes were fixed on Malakai, their minds racing with questions.
