BANG!

Shang exploded forward with all his power, the ground beneath him shaking as he used his Fire and Ice Affinity to increase his speed.

For a moment, the Adept became nervous when she saw Shang's speed.

'Calm down, Leen!' the Adept, Leen, thought. 'Just do what teacher told you to do! First, Mana Shield!'

Leen quickly spoke several words in a shockingly fast fashion. It didn't even take her half a second.

Some distortions appeared around her as her Mana Shield appeared.

A normal human, not experienced in combat, would have taken longer to recover, but Mages trained their minds. They were thinking far quicker than warriors. Because of that, it appeared like Leen had created her Spell as soon as the battle had started.

Shang was still 25 meters away when the Mana Shield appeared.

'I should be able to create an Ice Spear before I have to use Mana Step,' Leen thought.

Leen's words jumbled together as she spoke faster than Shang could fathom.

When Shang was ten meters away, a long needle made of ice appeared above Leen's head.

'Next, Mana Step,' Leen thought.

Shang arrived in front of Leen and swung forward.

SHING!

However, Shang's attack missed as Leen suddenly vanished from his vision, and she nearly instantaneously arrived over 20 meters away from him.

Of course, Shang had expected that his opponent would use Mana Step. He had seen plenty of fights, and he knew all the spells the Mages could unleash.

Without pause, Shang immediately charged toward Leen again.

Every Mana Step consumed quite some of Leen's Mana, and consuming all his opponent's Mana was one of the most common methods to win the fight.

After some words, a second ice spear appeared beside Leen.

Shang reached her and struck forward.
