Reon's thoughts raced.
'I had mastered triple-casting of First-Circle magic after casting spells thousands of times using the Magic Guide Book...'
'If I cast three 1st-Circle Barrier Spells simultaneously, and combine them with Cloudia's defensive ability… maybe—just maybe—we can hold off those Elemental Qi-infused blades!'

"Master, the moment my defensive ability begins to break, cast your barrier spells inside the cocoon—immediately!"
"Understood, Cloudia." Reon nodded firmly.
Cloudia extended her slender hand, murmuring softly yet firmly—
"Silken Mist Cocoon!"
In an instant, radiant threads of spiritual silk and gentle mist spiraled outward, weaving together into an ethereal cocoon around them.
From the inside, everything was crystal clear—but from the outside, it appeared as a shimmering, mist-wrapped shell, dense and impenetrable.
