The moment Alex saw nearly half of the Grand Mages raising their staffs toward him, he knew he wouldn't survive their combined attacks.
Yet, he didn't panic.
Not even a little.
It wasn't because of [Destiny Shift], though that skill could have saved him.
No, the reason was simpler: [Blessing of the Fox Spirit].
He acquired that from saving the fox tribe from the demons a while ago, and it was still active after all.
It had even saved him back in the [Abyss].
As the spells rained down, explosions of fire, lightning, and void energy consuming the entire area around, the blessing activated.
It could sense whenever the user was about to receive a mortal wound, and immediately protect him.
And that's exactly what happened: a radiant shield formed around him, absorbing every attack meant to kill him.
The sheer force of the magic sent shockwaves through the room, shaking the walls and cracking the floor beneath him.
