Although the oni couldn't see anything clearly due to the distortion of its vision, it still sensed something dangerous approaching terrifyingly fast, something that could threaten its life.
Vlad's crimson blade, crackling with lightning, was about to reach its neck when the oni released a deafening roar.
"GRAWRRR!!!!"
A wave of mana blasted from its body, hurtling all the party members backward.
The prism glasses surrounding its body shattered, the chains binding its limbs tore apart, and the threads holding its wrists were shot back.
Seraphina, Hugo, and Raphael were dragged several feet across the ground. Alisha was thrown backward into the tunnel from the sudden disruption of her spell.
As for Vlad, who was closest to the oni when it unleashed its mana, he suffered the greatest impact.
He was sent airborne for dozens of metres and only stopped when his back struck the wall of the cave with a heavy thud before he fell to the ground.
