The Elder braced for the next attack, disregarding his momentum-killing force field in favor of a more solid barrier.
He wove his spell models in the air, stacking barrier upon barrier on top of each other while staring at Florian, who watched his preparation with a placid look.
"Overconfident…" the Elder whispered to himself, taking the chance to prepare even more spell models to the maximum his mind could handle and hold at a time.
By the time he finished, there were four stacked barrier spells surrounding him and another two advanced attack spell models waiting for him to channel mana through them.
The spells gave him a sense of security that made him recover his confidence as an Elder. He assessed the situation with a more levelheaded outlook, thinking back to how his opponent—Florian, had cast the earlier spell.
The spell was way too fast. Had there even been signs of a spell model being woven?
