Bab 98: Reality Is A Vicious Cycle

The Witch of Explosion's dark fireball seethed with destructive energy, its mixture of scarlet and black hues glowing ominously as it raced toward Linsley and Magia Fleur.

In response, Magia Fleur twirled her magical wand, her voice steady as she called out, "Petal Shield!" 

A cascade of pink petals appeared and wove together, forming a radiant barrier between them and the oncoming attack.

But Magia Fleur knew full well that her shield alone wouldn't stand a chance against the Witch's formidable witchery. Her faith, however, rested not in her own strength, but in Linsley, who had promised to back her up.

As expected, just as the shield formed, an invisible force enveloped it, reinforcing the petals with a nearly indestructible layer of protection.

The dark fireball exploded violently upon impact, but the petals remained unscathed, the explosion dissipating harmlessly against the barrier. Both Linsley and Magia Fleur stood unharmed within.
