Ethan stood at the edge of the grassy plain, watching closely as Risa and Leon faced each other.
Both stood a fair distance apart, considering Leon's attacks were long-ranged.
"Are you ready, Risa?" Leon asked.
Risa nodded. She stretched her magic staff forward and began chanting her defensive spell.
[The power of nature unites as one. Let nature witness how I endure and live in harmony.]
[My soul calls upon the spirits' power. Protect me from harm and danger.]
[Spirit Magic: Absorbing Blood Wall!]
She raised her staff, and a beam of red light projected forward, forming a transparent crimson wall in front of her.
Both Leon and Ethan were impressed, though neither knew how strong her defense truly was.
"Do I need to use a skill?" Leon asked.
"No. Just basic attacks," Ethan replied.
Leon nodded. He summoned his bow and drew the string back tightly. A magic arrow appeared between his fingers, ready to fire.
"Ready, Risa?" Ethan asked again. Risa nodded slowly.
