By the time both sides synchronized, the opposing spellcaster's magical machine gun had finished activating.

At this thought, the joy of anticipated free plunder that had been brimming on David's face froze.
The immense disappointment, coupled with the opponent's almost lavish spellstorm, instantly birthed an extreme and pure emotion within David: Jealousy!
He really, really wanted that thing!
And perhaps it was because this Jealousy was so intense...
BANG! David felt his heartbeat seem to stop for an instant.
No, it wasn't just his heartbeat; the vision before his eyes also suddenly slowed down, though it didn't come to a complete stop.
It was more like... something akin to Bullet Time from the movie *The Matrix*...
Bullet Time?
Or perhaps the military-grade implant Sandevistan from *Cyberpunk 2077*!
