Something they had never seen before.

'I-It has D-Direction Manipulation as well!'

Eldric's eyes widened in horror. The Fire Spear was coming at him, his defense spell still needed time, and there was no way he could cast it in time.

He was done for!

Eldric's instincts took over, he stopped casting and just focused on running with everything he had. Of course, it was a foolish decision, there was no way a human, a mage with a weak body at that, could outrun a spell, not to mention a spell that was boosted by 'Speed' and 'Direction Manipulation.'

But that's what fear does to one. One could hardly make a sane decision when influenced by fear.

"Aaaagggghhhhh!!!"

Eldric screamed for his life. His heart pounded like crazy, the Fire Spear was catching up and was about to burn him.

However, just as it was about to happen, the Fire Spear suddenly changed its direction and collided with the ground barely 5 cm away from Eldric's feet.

*BOOM*

"AggggghhhhH!!!"
