"DON'T LET THEM GET CLOSE!"
Sebastian's voice tore through the battlefield like a breaking whip.
Veins bulged along his forehead, and cold sweat drenched his back, soaking through his robes.
His heart hammered violently against his ribs as instinct screamed at him that allowing the undead to close the distance would spell disaster.
He did not hesitate.
Gripping his staff with both hands, Sebastian slammed its base into the ground and began chanting at breakneck speed.
"Hellfire Circle!"
A blazing crimson sigil exploded into existence beneath the advancing undead legion.
The runes carved themselves into the ground in an instant, forming a massive magic circle that trapped dozens of skeletons within its radius.
The next second.
Whoom!
Flames erupted violently from the circle, surging upward like a living inferno.
Undead servants caught within its bounds were instantly engulfed, their bones glowing red-hot as necrotic energy hissed and evaporated.
Hiss!
Hiss!
