Facing Liens's sudden attack, Denise was surprised but not flustered.
As a mage, the first thing she learned was Shield Spell.
As long as she stacked enough shields quickly enough, she wouldn't need to fear even if a knight closed in.
Therefore, Denise didn't hesitate and immediately activated her Shield Spell to block Liens's attack.
"Clang!"
A sound like metal colliding rang out.
Liens's direct thrust with his longsword was blocked by a layer of light barrier.
Liens wasn't surprised by this; even a knight like Adonis knew to put up a shield, let alone a mage who used magic.
However, Liens, who had grown tired of being blocked by magic barriers, had long since developed a counter-move.
"Three-hit Combo!"
Liens thought to himself.
"Clang, clang, clang!"
Liens's right hand, holding the sword, completed three direct thrusts like a blur, each striking precisely the same spot.
This was a move he created by relying on his control and explosive power over his body.
