I kicked off the ground, dashing toward her in a straight line.
My grip tightened around the sword, ice mana surging through my veins.
Alaine's reaction was instant—she jumped backward, her feet barely touching the ground before another gust of wind sent her further away.
『 Wind Series: Gale Step! (✦ 5th-level Spell ✦) 』
She was fast.
Every time I closed in, she pushed herself further back with bursts of wind, keeping just out of my reach.
But that was fine.
I slashed the air—
『 Ice Series: Frost Crash! (✦ 6th-level Spell ✦) 』
CRACK—!
A massive surge of ice exploded forward in a sweeping wave, crashing toward her like a frozen tidal wave. The ground beneath it froze solid, spreading outward at insane speed.
Alaine's eyes narrowed.
TWANG!
She fired another arrow—
『 Wind Series: Piercing Tempest! (✦ 6th-level Spell ✦) 』
The arrow struck the ice wave—
BOOM!
