Martha, Daisy, and Arthur watched worriedly from the galleries as Derek was being cornered by three mages.
But inside the rift, in another dimension...
Derek moved, weaving through the chaos of attacks. It seemed like every strike, every fireball or lightning bolt was about to land on him, but he dodged them all. Some narrowly, some effortlessly.
Though the three mages were attacking at once, all of them were newbies. They had only recently developed their dantian, so while they could hurl basic spells like fireballs or lightning bolts, their spell-casting speed was still greatly lacking.
And so, for Derek, who hadn't just developed his dantian but had even reached E-Class level, it wasn't too difficult to dodge their attacks.
Yes, he was having a bit of a hard time, but it wasn't an impossible task.
