Rein reacted immediately, sensing that the energy fluctuation indicated the spell being cast was undoubtedly a Second-level Witchcraft, different from the Flame Strike previously cast as a first-level witchcraft, its power would be substantially greater.
Moreover, it was likely one of those highly concentrated and difficult-to-evade Second-level Witchcraft spells. Otherwise, there was no need for the Wizard to forego using Magma's Hand.
Rein narrowed his eyes, making a split-second decision!
An aura of Magic Silver transformed into a Kite Shield enveloped his body as he swiftly charged toward Asimov.
Though the Second-level Witchcraft was powerful, this also meant the incantation time was a bit longer than before.
Additionally, his close-combat damage far exceeded his ranged attacks; to claim victory, closing the distance was the best choice.
Seeing Rein charging at him again, Asimov glanced at him with eyes full of profound implication.
