Looking out towards the fleeing citizens, many of them being chased down by imps deviating from the main force of the pack, I began to notice something.
They weren't city guards, they weren't Imperial Knights, and yet, somehow, a few of them were fighting back.
Did they suddenly gain a blessing from the Sun Father, the courage and strength to fight despite their plainness?
Of course not.
By sensing the chaotic flow of magic energy in the air, I followed the mysterious source of the rallying to a single hooded figure standing atop one of the nearby roofs, holding a staff high into the air with a storm of mana around them.
'AOE buff magic... or no, something like a 'berserk' effect...?'
