The assassin created a Mana shield the moment he sensed William's presence, narrowly blocking a lethal strike aimed at his throat. A sharp dagger found its way into his hand and slashed at William's position, but the weapon only found air.
William teleported around the room more than a dozen times a second, opening and closing portals with extreme speed while the assassins were left dumbfounded. The few that had little Mana in their reserve couldn't use their Primary Laws and were quickly slaughtered, leaving only six enemies alive.
Making the best use of his Acceleration sub-Talent, William had ample time to construct and deconstruct portals before the Sealing Element could block him. All he had to do was keep away from the Seal Mage, whose Magic was notoriously slow despite its strength.
