'This one is really proving its worth.'
'It's forcing my hand. I'll have to make training it a priority.'
As Lynch was lost in thought.
BOOM—!!!
The massive, scorching Fireball smashed squarely into the Water Curtain Shield.
Amidst the deafening explosion, crimson flames and billowing steam violently collided. A blinding light flared, as if countless fireworks had bloomed in a single instant, and a scorching heatwave rolled outward in all directions.
The Water Curtain Shield, already low on energy, trembled violently before shattering and dissipating completely.
Its impact blocked, the force of the massive Fireball also vanished without a trace.
Lynch and the Skeleton Guards, protected by the shield, emerged completely unharmed.
Lynch even had the presence of mind to casually blow away the rising dust. He then looked up and shot the old Shaman a friendly smile.
'After all, it won't be long before he's one of mine. I might as well say hello in advance.'
"Guh... Gak?!"
