Stalling For Time
"I won't repeat this twice…. Surrender now or the consequences of not doing so will be grave! There is no way for you to break the barrier spell that you find yourselves currently trapped in, and even if you do, there are a thousand soldiers who have locked their weapons at you, who will slaughter you where you stand without hesitation.... You cannot escape, so it's only wise to surrender!" The Royal Soldier said, as he demanded that both Ben and Leo surrender right this moment.
"Master, if you wish I can nullify mana in our surroundings, helping you break out of this concealment…." Dumpy whispered in Leo's ears, however, Leo purposefully chose to not respond.
Leo knew that Dumpy could help him break out of the barrier the second that he requested him to, however, he did not wish to reveal his trump card against the master mage Vivienne so easily.
