A More Useful Command Spell

Although the exemption succeeded, the effect of <Shattered Hourglass> meant that even with a successful exemption, <Slow> would still take effect.

So... the Deer Immortal became even slower.

At this moment, <Cow Girl> raised <Thunder Roar> and swung her axe at the Deer Immortal again.

This time, it seemed alright. The Deer Immortal managed to cling to his life, dodging <Cow Girl>'s <Great Axe>, imbued with <Double Judgment>, with a maneuver akin to a lazy roll.

His usual <Fortitude Metamagic> and <Heightened Metamagic> <Command>...
