I covered my face the moment the vapor was about to hit me. Fortunately, I escaped without any damage, but the bad news was that my enemy had put some distance between us.
I hadn't expected him to use such an escape plan. He used a dark-element skill to collapse the Holy Water Prison. As a result, the prison exploded, and he was thrown backward by the blast.
I wasn't in a position to call it a reckless move. In a situation of certain death, risking everything was the only option.
"Rick!" I heard Sarah's voice approaching—and she wasn't the only one.
Because of the explosion, Alicia had stopped channeling Crystal Wall, but after that, I didn't think it would be necessary to maintain the barrier anymore. Even with her eyes closed while channeling her magic, she kept the lantern pointed toward where our enemy was the whole time, acting like a beacon for us.
I was grateful to all of them for executing their part of the teamwork so flawlessly. The three girls were now close to me.
