'Looks like you finally awake. You've really kept us waiting.' Roxene said over telepathy.
Turning around, Marcus saw her standing still and releasing a tremendous amount of mana.
"I guess that this barrier is your doing then?"
'Obviously! Now do something about those stupid worms already. We've been protecting you for nearly three days now while those things try to get a piece of you. Pretty much the moment you began evolving they arrived in droves through portals of some kind. I wouldn't be surprised if every single one of them in existence has come here.'
From her tone and general demeanor, Marcus could tell that Roxene was in a particularly foul mood. Of course, this was only natural seeing as how she had been fighting nonstop for several days now.
"Okay, I'll see what I can do. But first…"
Holding out his hand, Marcus conjured a small glowing silver sphere and shot it towards Roxene.
