Lucille lifted her hand in the direction of the slime.
Her spell had already activated, but she still needed to wait a lot longer than a regular person for it to come into effect.
The Giant mud slime slowly made its way toward her, its massive form undulating across the forest floor. Each movement sent ripples through its translucent body, the five opal stones visible deep within its core like glowing jewels suspended in amber.
Ning and Jax waited patiently for Lucille's spell to activate. They had moved back a safe distance, understanding now what her restriction meant in practical terms.
Her restriction was an annoying one that made it take her far longer than necessary. Jax found himself counting the seconds, wondering if something had gone wrong. Ten seconds passed. Then twelve.
This was too long in Jax's opinion. How was anyone supposed to fight with such a restriction?
