Vandalieu’s options for long-ranged attacks were too limited. Perhaps he should have had Saria and Rita learn archery as well.

As this thought ran through his mind, he released his spell towards the Mage who seemed to be chanting an incantation.

「…【Magic Absorption Barrier.】」

A black mass of Mana flew towards the Mage. He immediately tried to block it with some kind of defensive spell, but the black mass absorbed and nullified it completely.

「U-uwah! That Ghost Carriage used some kind of strange magic! What the hell is this?!」

The black mass covered the Mage like a dome, but for now, it seemed that it wasn’t doing him any damage.
