"Fufufu~ Think you've cornered me? You're wrong! Even if you're an S-Ranker, so what? You'll still die at my hands!"
As his arrogant laughter echoed through the hall, four black skeletons suddenly erupted from the ground inside the barrier. The moment the green barrier disappeared, their bodies exploded, releasing thick clouds of poisonous gas that rapidly spread across the battlefield.
"Protect them!" Luis shouted.
Jack reacted instantly, summoning a water barrier around their group before the toxic gas could reach them.
"Too late! Those skeletons were condensed from the most potent poisons I've ever created. Now, all of you can die!"
The Dark Magician's laughter stopped when he saw the water barrier holding firm. His enemies had reacted far too quickly, as though they had known about his trap beforehand.
Concealing his unease, he continued taunting them while secretly preparing another move.
