A few seconds
That was all it would take before the Mages would experience death.
It wasnt as simple as closing ones eyes and never opening them again.
No, this was something crueler.
The sight of the booking ground, and the feeling of extreme heat, was enough to tell the defeated ones of the fate that awaited them.
Still, they were not done!
Rise! The leader of the Mage Squad screamed, rising to his feet.
None of his injuries had been serious, so he could cope.
The others were the same.
They rose, unsure of what else to do.
If they tried using Advanced Magic, the monster would charge at them before they could complete the chant.
If they used simpler attacks, their efforts would be rendered useless.
It was at this point that the Mages realized their error.
We shouldnt have told the Guards to retreat!
They could have at least served as some form of vanguard for them while they prepared their Spell.
Ultimately, the only reason for their current state was their overconfidence.
They thought they could handle something beyond their purview, and now
Even then!!!
The men gritted their teeth and gathered their Mana.
They had no intention of letting the innocent ones beyond the walls suffer for their arrogance.
Even if it cost them everything, the Mages were prepared to fight the horrifying creature.
Their eyes brimmed with a sense of duty, and they were resolved to break through their limits.
Even as the earth shook with each step the monster took, the Mages began preparing their Mana.
It was now clear that they couldnt beat the thing.
However they could at least buy time!
Hold your ground!!!
Gritting their teeth and gripping their wands, they were prepared to risk it alleven Mana Shockas long as they could complete their duties!
However
Thats enough!
Unexpected help arrived right on time!
>WHOOOOSSHHHH!!!BOOOOOMMMMM!!!FSHUUUUUUUU
