Battlemages

"Urgh!" 

While on the ground, Reve made an unpleasant expression. He didn't like Nikan's bragging, but he knew they had some merit. As a mage, he had actually forgotten about watching his mana reserve.

No, he hadn't forgotten.

'It was the special kick I did back then. It consumed a lot of mana to condition my body from breaking apart. It could even be said that, at that moment, I neared death. Ahh, damnation!' cursed Reve.

He had been thinking of replicating the shadow's special moves for a while now. Now, when he actually did a good execution, his body failed him. It was normal for him to curse!

Reve flipped his body. His head now faced the blue sky as he watched the birds fly freely.

Nikan sat beside him and brought out an item from his pocket. It was a small vial, but it shone like the yellow sun. Nikan opened Reve's paralyzed mouth and poured the content of the vial into it.
