Everyone gasped in shock. Could it be that Lynch decided to end the battle up close? Distance is a natural barrier for mages. As long as they have enough reaction time, mages can handle any situation. But once two mages are entangled at close range, they have no time to counter or retaliate against each other's spells. Other than instant reactions, experience becomes the deciding factor.
In terms of the complexity of spells, Kuziman has held the advantage so far, with a continuous barrage of evocation spells that no mage could foresee. However, Lynch's left hand seemed to possess immense power, capable of deflecting even the strongest Impact Punch, not to mention being directly struck by it.
The scene suddenly turned silent, with all sounds freezing in an instant. Kuziman's face turned deathly pale as his withered skin began to peel off layer by layer. He knew this was the moment that would decide the outcome, and he could no longer hold back.
