Panicked, Clayton immediately cast a Water Dome spell. In an instant, a transparent blue sphere formed around him, shielding him from the barrage of incoming attacks.
Though the dome held, his body trembled from the sheer force of the assault. Fortunately, the spell had been reinforced with various buffs from the entries he possessed, allowing it to withstand the onslaught—at least for now.
The onlookers, expecting Clayton to be crushed instantly, were stunned. They had severely underestimated someone far stronger than he appeared.
Feeling threatened, the crowd grew more aggressive, unleashing even more dangerous spells. Clayton gritted his teeth, struggling to hold on.
But when one person faces everyone, the outcome is usually inevitable—Clayton lost. As the attacks intensified in both number and strength, his Water Dome began to crack, moments away from shattering completely.
Just as it was about to break apart, Clayton's body flickered—and vanished.
