Saphir lifted his wand, softly chanting a magical incantation.
Under his command, the magical flames that ensnared 54 gradually spread, morphing into a dancing fire chain.
Like a serpent, the fire chain lunged at 54, attempting to bind him.
Amidst the flames, 54 dodged with agility, his dagger dancing and creating streaks of cold light in the air, clashing with the fire chain.
The energy of both sides dwindled continuously, with flames persistently blazing on the battlefield and dark energy surging constantly.
Although 54 was a top-tier assassin master, Saphir, with his powerful fire magic, gradually gained the upper hand.
This showcased the significant vulnerability of the assassin class in battle.
While they excelled in stealth and ambush, they often lacked formidable head-on combat prowess.
By comparison, 54 was already exceptionally fierce, able to confront Saphir's fire magic directly and entangle to this extent.
