Chapter 48 The Mage's Gambit

Thin strands of magical energy spun outward from the core, weaving into a complex spell circle. Mages typically drew these formations externally, which made it difficult to identify their primary specialization without observing the way they crafted their spells.

 For now, Gin had confirmed both the mage's presence and the structure of their core. The next step was simple—continue monitoring their magic and be ready to counter any move.

As Gin distributed his magical resources across his information field, one of the enemy ability users suddenly charged forward.

'Amateurs,' he thought. Such attackers were hardly a challenge anymore. Gin's recent battles had honed his instincts and sharpened his combat experience.

 While weak opponents still provided valuable lessons, relying too heavily on these encounters could dull one's senses when facing a stronger adversary.
