A 31% reduction in mana consumption—Hutson was more than satisfied with that result.
But a new challenge presented itself.
Currently, he had nine different shield spells at his disposal. Even if each one took only a second to cast, it would still take a full nine seconds to activate them all.
Nine seconds.
That was an eternity in battle.
Combat was unpredictable—he would never have the luxury of standing still, calmly layering one shield after another. The battlefield was chaos, filled with the unknown. He needed a faster way.
After a moment of contemplation, he voiced the question:
"AI chip, is there a way to cast all nine shield spells at once?"
It was a long shot, but AI chip had absorbed an immense amount of knowledge from the second floor of the library. If there was an answer to this problem, it would be found there.
"Analyzing…"
The wait stretched on.
Ten minutes passed.
