The temporarily released magic barrier, before the strange dagger, was as frail as a sheet of paper.
However, that brief moment of pause and the temporary visibility were enough for Lynn. He stomped his right foot on the ground, using the reaction force to quickly lean back, avoiding the dagger aimed at his neck, and fell to the ground together with the chair behind him, followed by several rolls to increase the distance.
However, as Lynn stood up again, he couldn't find the enemy's location anywhere. The lounge was empty, as if everything before had been an illusion.
Some kind of magic to deceive the vision, maybe?
Without hesitation, Lynn cast a "Mage Shield" on himself. At the same moment, that subtle sense of danger returned, this time coming from his side.
"White Phosphorus - Fire Resistance Ring!"
This time, Lynn, fully focused, instantly retaliated. He did not know where the attack came from, but he also did not need to know!
