By the longstanding understanding of these two Fanatical Knights on guard duty, the sixteen Rule Wizards should have used Teleportation to evade the moment the freezing ripples surged out.
That was also the normal way wizards fought. In their eyes, wizards were all cowards.
Yet determination flashed in Rule Wizard Charlie's eyes. He gave no orders, and the fifteen Rule Wizards with him made no move either.
The sixteen Rule Wizards simply activated Ice Armor and Energy Shield, forcefully enduring the impact of the freezing ripples while the Chain Lightning in their hands never stopped.

So he did not evade. Instead, he adopted an extremely rare response for Rule Wizards: forcefully enduring the impact of Holy Freeze.
Of course, the confidence to withstand Holy Freeze came from the Powerful Potions at their waists. With these Super Healing Potions in hand, what did it matter if they suffered some injuries?
