Was I wrong?
The thought actually flashed through Kael'thas's mind.
This Rhode can use the Moon Crystal with such mastery. Even I probably couldn't manage that.
No, he's a thief, after all. However powerful his magic is, he's still just a thief! I can't lose to him!
His attack has tremendous momentum, and I don't have the mana to meet it head-on anymore, but dodging it shouldn't be a problem.
At that thought, Kael'thas's mage robe suddenly billowed up as though a hair dryer were blowing beneath it.
His toes tapped repeatedly beneath him as though finding solid footing, and he rode the wind up into the sky.
He was borrowing the power of the wind!
And he still claimed he wasn't a shaman!
But just then, the enormous Meteor Hammer exploded on its own with a boom, breaking into fragments!
The spectators were bewildered.
Kael'thas had only dodged, without striking back. Why had the hammer exploded?
But they soon understood.
Rhode had detonated it himself!
The fragments shot upward at tremendous speed, then gradually formed... a net???
And it was a net of fire!
The enormous net of flames spanned nearly a hundred meters, many times larger than Kael'thas's earlier Ice Net!
It rose from below, then rapidly contracted, enveloping all the air above the Square.
And Kael'thas was right inside it.
He was like a fish caught in the Fire Net Rhode had cast.
Even riding the wind, he couldn't rise faster than the Fire Net closed. Soon, he was completely surrounded, with no way to escape.
Even more astonishingly, the enormous Fire Net was still roaring as it contracted inward.
Everyone could imagine that once it shrank into a tight mass, however powerful Kael'thas's protective spells might be, he would be crushed to pieces or burned to
