Ancient magic can be used three times in a row, but the price is that although the treasure bead and magic won't disappear afterwards, they will enter a prolonged waiting period. Eliphas hasn't tried to release them, just speculated.
He doesn't know how ancient magic relates to the ancient overlord, but facing the overlord now, he considers testing it out!
The treasure bead emits a glow, releasing halos centered on it, enveloping every mercenary, just as Vonier sweeps his sword horizontally, hitting a mercenary.
"Ahhh!"
The mercenary is sent flying by the impact, screaming, the halo dims for a moment but doesn't shatter, able to keep resisting! Fortunately, before the mercenary hits the ground, he is saved by the Spiritual Horse!
He survived being struck, excellent, ancient magic truly works!
Unfortunately, the impact from the slashing cannot be nullified, but this is already sufficient. Sometimes in battles, that moment of life-saving technique can turn the tide.
