The screams were heart-wrenching.
But after the two Retainer Knights landed, they managed to struggle to their feet, evidently without serious harm. Their good response had neutralized the powerful magic—they had all practiced resisting routines for the Magical Beasts they might encounter at Thorn Ridge.
The Thunderfang Boar was one of them!
Falling back was to wait for the exhaustion of Lightning Flash; Thunder Magic was the most draining, its force weakened with distance, and the Thunderfang Boar would also have a rather long preparation time when releasing Lightning Flash.
Moving closer was to disperse the Lightning Flash's attack on a single target.
Raising shields was to enlarge the area affected by the lightning, protecting the body.
Planting the sword was to channel the force of the Thunder Magic directly into the ground.
Releasing Dou Qi was to use it to neutralize the remaining force of the Thunder Magic involved.
