"Lightning Bolt!"

Suddenly, a bright blue flash illuminates the area, and even the depths of the ground are filled with the rumbling of thunder.

After briefly responding to Marika, I dive back into the fight. I would've liked to check on her condition more, but I need to reduce the number of enemies before they regain their composure.

Zap!

"Arghhh!"

A heretic hit directly by the spell screams, parts of their body turning black and ceasing to move.

The number of enemies decreases quickly; initially, there were five heretics, but now only three remain. Still, I was outnumbered.

"Who are you?! How did you get in here?!"

A figure, difficult to discern due to the robe obscuring their face but presumably female judging by their physique and voice, extends a hand threateningly towards me.

"O shadow, gather in my hand, corrupt the pure soul before me and obliterate it..."

A female heretic begins to chant and slowly draws a magic circle.

But in most battles, the first strike determines the outcome, and I wasn't about to wait for their attack.

"Wind Cutter!"

I capitalize on the advantage of instant-cast spells, and my magic is cast before hers, flying towards her.

"Ah?!"

Her magic circle shatters due to the interference.

"Shock Bullet!"

I cast another spell that compresses the surrounding air and sends it towards the heretic.

Caught off guard and still dazed by the disrupted magic, she's hit directly. After being slammed against the wall, she falls unconscious.

Now, only two remain...

"Urrrrgh!!!"

A fully alert heretic, with bulging muscles, charges at me.

"?!?"

An enormous figure, easily over 2 meters tall. Is this really the size a human can achieve, or is there an orc hidden beneath that robe?

"Gale Force!"

I counter by conjuring a strong wind, pushing him back.

"Oog...!!"

The massive heretic groans in pain as he stumbles backward, struggling against the force.

"O shadows, gather in my hand, corrupt the pure soul before me, obliterate it completely, Shadow Burst!"

The last standing heretic, perhaps unwilling to stand idly by, conjures the same spell that the female heretic failed to complete earlier, supporting the giant.

A dark sphere, emanating shadowy tendrils, flies towards me.

It looks all too familiar... where have I seen this spell before?

But now wasn't the time to ponder.

"Wind's Boomer!"

I combine it with the wind spell I had cast earlier. Gathering the surrounding wind and air, I create an explosion at a single point.

Boom!

The ensuing explosion not only counters the incoming shadow magic but also sends the massive man flying into the air.

From the outside, it may not seem like much had happened...

"Argh?!"

But the giant, who once boasted of his size, now finds his robe torn to shreds and is sent flying.
