"Thank you!" Adrian expressed his gratitude without breaking his stride. 

The man nodded in acknowledgment and leaped to the nearest branch to resume his task.

Just as Adrian refocused to the forefront, a Magic Circle formed in front of the Elementalist Orc, hurtling lightning streaks in his direction, compelling him to zigzag between the bolts to avoid the deadly onslaught.

—Boom! —Boom! —Boom!
