The third rankers all reacted with varying levels of confusion to Erik's display of power. It wasn't just his ability to defend against a third ranker that surprised them, but also the fact that he was clearly a werewolf and, yet, had just used an Arcanist spell.
Aaron looked at his own hand with a strange frown. He was less concerned with Erik's ability to cast spells and more with the fact that he had just cast a powerful third-rank mud missile, yet failed to defeat a mere second ranker.
"What the…" Abigail muttered, equally confused but quick to place the blame on Aaron, pushing the Arcanist spell out of her mind.
"You really are useless, Aaron," she sneered condescendingly before conjuring a magic circle of her own and aiming it at Erik. "Let me show you how it's done."
I hope you enjoyed reading :)
Consider leaving a review if you did!
And consider checking out my other novel, 'Dreadwolf, Lord of Runes', if you feel like reading something a little darker and with a mix of sci-fi and fantasy!
