Marcus almost immediately regrated facing off against four of the most powerful Umbrashnuls on his own.
The king himself was already strong enough to push him, and the other three acted in perfect supporting roles.
Vashtalive was a powerful magic user, not only well versed in shadow but also nature and emotion magic.
Roots that Marcus could hardly perceive would often shoot out of the ground and entangle him or weird plants that were dark gray and mostly hollow would shake themselves and create a discordant noise that made his magic harder to cast and maintain.
And while they did not have much of an effect on him, the powerful caster Umbrashnul mage was constantly casting spells that played with Marcus' emotions.
Still, it was distracting and he had a lot to deal with.
As for Folcalar, he wielded a giant crossbow that also seemed to serve as an axe judging by the blades attached to the limbs.
