The circle opened.
To be precise, Edwin Hector had harmonized with nature, reaching a state where he could best absorb mana.
It was the ultimate technique of mages.
In exchange for being unable to use magic for a while, Edwin Hector had gained power stronger than before.
"Wind Blade."
Swish, swish, swish!
Edwin Hector made the first move.
As Roman Dmitri charged forward, kicking off the ground, Edwin summoned blades of wind and immediately launched an attack.
An invisible, formless force.
Though Wind Blade was one of the most troublesome spells for swordsmen, Roman's keen senses allowed him to detect the direction of the wind blades without even seeing them.
He dodged swiftly.
Just as his steps faltered slightly, Hector's knights rushed in from all sides.
Boom.
Crash.
"Die!"
"Protect the prince!"
Auras exploded.
This was enemy territory.
There was no room for a romantic duel between two individuals, and Edwin Hector had no intention of engaging in a fair fight.
His top priority was to eliminate Roman Dmitri, no matter the means.
In a flash.
A single strike.
Roman channeled the mana from his dantian.
The first form of the Heavenly Demon Sword Technique was unleashed, and with his aura, Roman cut down all the enemies charging at him.
Thud!
The knights fell in an instant.
It was truly a spectacle.
