The explosion took hold of him and the shrapnels flew right at his head. A black cloud of smoke enveloped the masked man's head.
Siderius didn't stop there. He would only stop once the enemy was in pieces. The hunter loaded another Explosive Projectile and sent it to the masked man.
This time, the masked man no longer dared to break the clayball. His eyes shone through the cloud of smoke, one pair of bright pink eyes. With it, a shockwave spread out and sent the second clayball away.
The projectile exploded far away, no longer posing any threat to the masked man.
The cloud of smoke dissipated, revealing a wall of semi-transparent pink magic that shielded him from harm. Most of the shrapnels were stopped in front of the wall, floating in the air.
However, some did get through before the masked man was able to set up his defense. His shoulder was bleeding. The blood soaked the dark robe on his body, filling it with the eerie smell of blood.
