"Fire!"
Felix's shout marked the start of the magical assault.
Suddenly, the mages beside Han Shuo and the others began chanting spells. Sharp Wind Blades, blazing Fireballs, several icicle-like pillars of ice, lightning bursting beneath the sky, and even the Light Department students' Light Sword Slashes all appeared with a sudden roar, striking at the Wolf Cavalry charging straight toward them.
Fanny, Gene, and the others also chanted spells. Skeletons and zombies emerged unsteadily, running past the warriors at the very front toward the Wolf Cavalry.
