A sudden shattering sound echoed through the area and the beam suddenly dissipated. James had somehow managed to disperse the gathered arcana energy.
This meant that the arcana energy could be shattered, which meant that the heart of the boss monster, the stone around which the arcana energy was gathered, could be destroyed.
James thought he had already found a way to kill the boss monster when he exhaled deeply, and then he was surrounded by his aura, although he could see that his aura was unstable.
It was as if the arcana energy that was spread around with the chains was suppressing James' aura, the fact that a mid-level completed aura could be suppressed so easily seemed to explain why mages were more revered in the tower.
It was a strange phenomenon indeed, but James realised at that moment that he had to fight magic with magic.
If the aura wasn't working, he could send the fire element directly into the arcana energy.
