The Golem Mage

Ethan couldn’t fathom how Damien had managed to bring Seraphina under his control, but he quickly realized he was at a significant disadvantage, particularly if Damien decided to join the onslaught he was currently fending off.

Ethan restrained himself, not wanting to seriously injure Seraphina just because she was under Damien’s control, yet she showed no such hesitation, her light blade was faster as she clashed against his stone fists and sliced through his earth spikes with ease, as if cutting through butter.

As both Ethan and Seraphina unleashed their martial skills to the max, Ethan disregarded Damien, deducing that he wasn’t going to intervene since he seemed content observing the battle like a spectator, Ethan felt slighted by this, but he was fully aware that he was far less powerful than Damien.

Bang!

A resounding explosion echoed, not from Ethan and Seraphina’s clash, but from Damien, who had been struck by a massive firebomb set off by Aria.

Ethan’s attention was diverted toward her, and he saw that she had finally broken free from the blood tendrils that had ensnared her, her body was riddled with small wounds from which blood seeped out, a gruesome sight.

Yet Aria stood resolute, adopting a boxer’s stance, even as Damien emerged from the blast radius with a rare look of surprise on his face, he hadn’t anticipated her deciphering the secrets of his Blood tendrils spell and escaping.

Despite the surprise attack Damien was unharmed, but that came at a cost as the blood pool around him had been completely depleted , and he no longer had any blood orbiting him.

”It seems you haven’t learned your lesson, you should have accepted the easy death I had arranged for you, considering my reluctance to kill women in a gruesome manner. But since you’re so insistent on a terrible end, be my guest,” Damien said.

His words seemed to carry a heavy weight, instilling fear in both Aria and Ethan.

They exchanged worried glances, concerned about his next move, however, they found some solace in the fact that the blood pool, which had acted like an ammo for his magical moves, was now depleted.

However, everything changed when Damien began making peculiar hand signs.
