Feeling the lightning coursing through him, Xaren gritted his teeth and activated a skill.
'Gravity Crush!'
"Stone Pillar!"
The instant the sphere formed around the mage's leg, he conjured an earth pillar that launched him into the air, escaping the field's crushing force just in time.
'Fas—!'
Xaren couldn't even finish thinking the word 'Fast' when a fireball descended from above, forcing him to roll away to avoid being scorched.
'Flaming Lance Barrage!'
Xaren conjured a two-ringed magic circle and unleashed half a dozen black flame spears at his airborne opponent. However, the mage spun his staff as he landed, generating a rotating barrier of lightning that dispersed the attack.
"Lightning Cyclone—Burst!"
The mage converted that defensive lightning into an offensive strike, forcing Xaren to lighten his body and dash aside to evade it.
He unfurled his wings and leapt up, using a powerful flap to propel himself forward with a burst of momentum.
"Lightni-!"
"Flame Geyser!"
