Advantage

"You flatter me…" Lin Li faked modesty, but his recitation did not stop. While using the protection of the Lightning Shield Field to withstand the heavy bombardment of the thunderstorm, he released a sinister Wall of Fire at Macklin's foot. The old fellow had to halt his recitation and retreat several steps in a row. In this time, Lin Li's Mana Retroaction had been completed…

"…" Macklin was halfway through his recitation of the spell and was interrupted by Lin Li, which almost made him vomit blood in anger. He had ended up in the ditch. He had misjudged the kid's strength from the start, which led to all the wrong steps he'd taken now. Ever since the kid had resisted his Cloud Storm with the Lightning Shield Field, he had slid into a passive situation that was hard to reverse.

This was the case in the battle between mages. A single mistake might change the outcome of a battle.
