[Third Person POV],
The earth mage was the first to act as he immediately shouted the name of his spell when he was ready to attack.
"Earth Magic: Earth Boulder", The earth mage shouted and immediately after doing so, the earth 15 metres around him began to become unstable as he ground started scattering but this was not all because after the ground in front of the earth mage began to scatter, a second later, the earth in front of him began to rise.
Yes, it was rising as a certain part of the earth was initially rooted to the ground and started to rise in the air and it took a long time for this large piece of earth to become a very huge chunk of earth compressed into a big ball that was more than 5 metres in height.
