On Caria side...
The mage lifted his staff, casting Rapid Ice Lance.
Sharp ice spears shot toward Caria.
Caria sprinted sideways with Shadow Footwork, slipping between the lances like a shadow.
"You missed."
The mage formed a Mana Barrier, expecting knives.
Caria flicked her hand, throwing three charged daggers.
Two bounced off the barrier.
But the third arced sharply upward—
Then dove from above.
The mage's eyes widened.
CRACK!
The dagger pierced his shoulder and broke his spell.
Caria whispered:
"Chem Charge—Ignite."
The dagger's rune glowed red—
BOOOOM!
A small explosion blasted the mage into the water, knocking him unconscious.
Caria exhaled calmly.
"Next."
While Puddle was having her own battle..
The summoner quickly started a chant.
"Summon: Tide Serpent—"
Puddle darted in like a water bullet.
Puddle Skill: Bubble Crash
BAM!
She slammed into his face, knocking him backward.
He tried to grab her—
She bit his ear.
"NO stealing from Master!"
