Faced with the opponent's strange behavior, Luca naturally had to prepare for any unexpected developments.
He had already activated his protective magic runes. At this moment, his body was surrounded by a shimmering silver-white glow.
At the same time, the Starseeker in his hand had also been fully activated, ready to unleash its immense power in the battle at any given moment.
After a brief moment of silence, both sides moved almost simultaneously.
A mass of vines erupted from the councilor's body.
These vines were shrouded in a curse potent enough to corrode the soul. Simultaneously, the councilor raised his left hand, from which a beam of green light burst forth.
Luca launched his counterattack at the exact moment his opponent initiated the strike.
First, he reinforced his shield runes, ensuring that he wouldn't be defeated by the enemy's opening blow.
Immediately after that, he infused Dreamweaving Mist into the Starseeker.
