Benjamin immediately abandoned the shield he had just summoned.
Ice Wall, Water Shield... He threw everything to block as much as possible. As for himself, he controlled the steam to help him back away as fast as possible.
He hoped that his spells could trigger a good amount of the small balls. However, the old man did not let him do as he pleased. He simply detonated one of the small balls to totally obliterate the Ice Wall and Water Shield. With just one detonation, he had gotten rid of all of Benjamin’s protective spells.
As for the remaining balls, they were still aimed at Benjamin.
"Shit..." Benjamin could not help but curse.
He flew in the air and attempted to dodge the small balls by sharply changing course. But, the old man controlled the small energy balls well and they tracked his movements exactly. Eventually they were going to catch up with him.
