A beam of violet energy pierced the air right in front of me, grazing my cheek. I threw myself to the side, instantly on guard.
…If I hadn't instinctively dodged — and if Saddler hadn't slightly shifted his aim at the last second — my head would've been blown to bits!
Saddler clapped his hands again — another laser blast shot toward me, and I leapt away just in time. He pursued me relentlessly, like I was prey in his hunt.
And the moment I understood the nature of his magic…
…Saddler's hands lit up with violet energy. Enhancement Technique.
Commonly used for spells that deal continuous damage. With it, the beam he summoned through Resonance Magic had its power boosted by 1.5 times!
The laser scorched my clothes just by brushing close to me.
I dashed in a wide arc, dove sideways, and slid beneath him.
"Witness the Light."
A touch.
BOOM!
Saddler was blasted back by an eruption of scalding steam so dense it seared his skin to the point of boiling.
