Evelyn stood stunned after watching the series of events that had unfolded. Except her shock came not from Lucia's near flawless surprise attack, but because her target had evaded it.
'Impossible!' Evelyn thought, her expression twisted into one of disbelief.
Lucia's magic had been cast with almost no indication of what she planned to do, and the powerful beam of light she had conjured moved far to fast for anyone to realistically react to it.
Yet, in the small frame of time while she wove her magical energy into a spell, the man that had stopped them had realized Lucia's intentions and calculated the trajectory of her attack.
If some sort of protective magic tool or spell had blocked the beam of light, Evelyn could have understood it. But the man had dodged from a relaxed position without any signs of being wary towards them. Without a doubt, Evelyn knew she could not hope to pull off such a feat.
