He then cast a mid-level magic spell.
However, Thomas quickly deflected it and moved in close to Prince Lewyn. Since Rafayel had told Thomas not to use offensive magic spells beforehand, it was clear this would turn into close combat.
Thomas began throwing punches, testing Prince Lewyn's skill. Prince Lewyn blocked the attacks while looking for an opening to counter.
Rafayel and Prince Qoryn watched nervously, their hands clenched into fists as they followed the intense exchange.
After a while, Thomas stepped back to create some space between himself and the prince.
"Your Highness, please go all out now," Thomas said.
"Alright, here I come!" Prince Lewyn replied.
With those words, he began casting an advanced-level magic spell.
Thomas smiled slightly, then took the hit directly. A loud explosion burst out, and for a moment, Thomas's figure disappeared in the smoke and blast, showing just how strong the impact had been.
