Relf shouted,
"Who are you people? We are the royal army of the Lukedonia Empire."
The man in the lead, wearing a mask shaped like a deer's face, started laughing.
"Dead men don't need to know much."
He immediately launched his attack. He was a fire magus.
The spell he cast was called Inferno.
The man was a Grand Magus, no doubt about it.
Relf shouted, "Protect the prince!"
Everyone instantly got into position.
A grand barrier magic was casted.
The ultra-heated fire beam fell on the barrier. The barrier could block the spell, but it could not block the heat.
Julious cast his earth-elemental spell to create another layer of protection under the barrier, shielding them from the heat.
This one spell almost took everything they had just to hold it off.
Relf drew his sword and charged toward the group of attackers.
He did not even think about his life.
He was a loyal guard of the emperor, and yesterday he had seen the potential of the fifth prince.
