The Tower Master swiftly extended his hand, conjuring dozens of mana barriers in front of him. These barriers formed a curtain of pure mana, their sturdiness comparable to a fortress wall.
Ketal immediately felt resistance upon impact, but that only spurred him to apply more force.
Crack!
The barriers shattered like a spiderweb torn apart by human hands. In mere moments, they disintegrated, leaving the Tower Master in shock.
Even a ballista would struggle to penetrate my barriers! he thought. He had hoped the barriers would buy him a little time, but they failed even at that. His mind began racing at an incredible speed.
Ketal’s hand would reach him in 0.5 seconds. Accounting for a 0.2-second margin of error, he had only 0.2 seconds to devise and execute a countermeasure. The Tower Master wondered what he could do within those 0.3 seconds.
