As the vines surged toward them with terrifying speed, Luca wasted no time. He immediately activated the fire magic runes.
A towering wall of fire descended from the sky, acting as a barrier between him and the advancing vines.
With the fire wall providing cover, Luca and Nova darted toward the back entrance of the stadium, their urgency clear.
The sudden appearance of Congressman Devitt made them both realize just how dangerous their situation had become.
Even if a final confrontation was inevitable, they could not afford to face him within the confines of the stadium.
Bursting through the back door, they emerged into an open area.
"Which way do we run?" Nova asked, panic creeping into her voice.
"We don't run!" Luca replied sharply as he quickly activated the shadow magic runes. "We fight him here!"
Before he had even finished speaking, the entire stadium collapsed with a thunderous roar.
