220 You were hurt…

'I… I can't believe it…' 

Vaan blinked in surprise. 

I-If he could cast the spell without needing to process the Mana then…

Won't he be invincible…?

After all, the biggest reason Swordsmen had an advantage over Mages was because Mages needed 3-4 Seconds before they could show their powers. If those 3-4 Seconds the Mages needs, disappear, then it would be almost impossible for even a group of swordsmen to defeat a capable Mage. 

Take Elara for example, in today's battle, the only thing Vaan did was buy her time. Once Elara had all the time she needed to cast spells, both Alaric and Kaelen, despite being 4 Star Swordsmen and well-known students of the Sword Division, were absolutely useless against her. 

Of course, the big part of the reason behind it was Elara's tactics and spell efficiency. As someone who was trained by Astra, Elara's practical use of Spells could easily be compared to the elites.
