As much as Cassius enjoyed their reactions, he didn't want to waste any more time so he quickly said,
"But that doesn't matter right now."
He straightened and gestured toward the talisman in Aisha's hand.
"Give it to me. I'll place it where it needs to go."
Aisha was still too shocked to argue.
"Y-Yes...right." She mumbled, quickly handing him the silver talisman. "Place it on the ground right over there with the largest mana flow. It should be stable there."
Cassius nodded, following her instructions. He crouched, pressed the talisman against the earth, and stepped back.
Aisha then immediately began muttering a new incantation under her breath to check if they succeeded, pulling out several small crystals from her storage ring.
She crushed them between her palms, releasing fine powder that shimmered as it scattered in the air.
For a moment, nothing happened—then the power floating vanished out of thin air.
