Immediately the fire erupted, Caylus grabbed Darell with both hands and then, using his body as a shield, he jumped down the podium, escaping the blast.
The other two knights were not as lucky. The first knight screamed, the fire permeating his flesh and searing his skin.
His entire body was covered in fire that stuck to him like glue, his head burned like a flaming torch as he ran and fell off the podium, dying shortly after.
The second, more experienced knight managed to shield himself with mana and jump back immediately he saw the fire. But he was not unscathed; the fire still managed to burn part of his body.
As Kaeri stumbled forward, Stark immediately raced toward her, using the momentary distraction to separate her from Caylus and Darell.
The elf clenched her jaw in pain as her body was wreathed in burns.
"That spell is still a bit too much for you, isn't it?"
She smiled through the pain, the pain showing on her face a second later.
"Chubby."
