All-around teacher at the magic academy

"Can you still stand up, Rhine?"

Arthur's voice was deep and firm, his gaze like a sharp arrow, fixed on the movements of the battlefield ahead, while in the tense atmosphere, he glanced at his younger brother behind him out of the corner of his eye.

“Of course!” Rhine answered without hesitation. Although his breathing was slightly disordered, his eyes became resolute because of Arthur’s arrival, as if they possessed infinite power.

Mondl's gaze was cold as he looked at the two people before him. Although Arthur's arrival had surprised him somewhat, it was only for a moment. He lightly flicked his sleeve, a disdainful smile appearing on his face.

"Two against one? That seems a bit unfair." Mond's tone was calm, but as soon as he finished speaking, his eyes instantly turned sharp as knives. "Then, twenty against two, how about that?"

In the brief moment that Rhine was able to catch his breath, Mond had already quietly constructed a powerful spell.

The surrounding air began to distort, and strange magic circles rose from the ground. The space rift beasts that had been repelled or killed by Rhine in the previous battle were resurrected once again from the magic circles.

A moment later, all twenty Spatial Rift Beasts appeared, forming an impenetrable encirclement around Rein and Arthur.

The monsters' eyes gleamed with greed, and their mouths drooled, as if they couldn't wait to tear their prey apart.

"There are quite a few, this is difficult to handle." Arthur gripped his sword tightly, his brow furrowed, a bitter smile on his face.

"It's alright, I'll clear the area." Rhine's voice was calm and confident. He slowly straightened up and looked around at the enemies.

No matter how many of these things come, it's the same; a large-scale destruction spell can wipe them all out.

As he spoke, Rhine immediately began to construct his destructive magic. The intense heat of the fire element slowly emerged, and the surrounding air seemed to be ignited. Arthur, standing next to him, could feel the heat wave that almost burned his skin.

However, Mondstadt would not allow Rhine to use the same method again. Just as Rhine was concentrating on gathering magical energy, he suddenly moved from behind Arthur, who had been focused on constructing magic.

Just as he was about to unleash his magic, Rhine's eyes widened in disbelief. He felt a sudden dizziness as he realized he had been switched places with a spatial rift beast in an instant.

Seeing Rhine suddenly appear beside them, the spatial rift beasts seemed to have found an outlet. Their already slightly glowing pupils became even brighter, filled with a bloodthirsty light.

They wriggled their slender limbs, hissing, and pounced on Rhine.

Seeing that things were going badly, Rhine immediately stopped the destruction magic he was building. His body reacted quickly, and he jumped away from his position to avoid being surrounded by the attacks of the spatial rift beasts.

However, just when he thought he had successfully avoided danger, he was attacked from behind again while still in the air.

He hadn't expected that several of the spatial rift beasts possessed the ability to fly. The instant he leaped into the air, these spatial rift beasts had already taken flight, silently approaching him.

Flying through the air, Rhine didn't have time to unleash any complex magic. Almost instinctively, his body swiftly turned and kicked the spatial rift beast behind him.

His toes whistled through the air as he struck one of the monsters precisely.

Using the recoil from the kick, Rhine's body tumbled in the air, and his hands quickly grabbed the limbs of a Rift Beast, using them as a temporary foothold to skillfully dodge the dangerous attack that followed.

At the same time, Arthur, who was originally standing to the side, had already keenly sensed the approaching danger behind him the moment he witnessed Rhine and a spatial rift beast switch places.

Without the slightest hesitation, Arthur gripped his sword tightly and, acting on instinct, slashed fiercely behind him. The sword flashed through the air, carrying an aura of resolute determination.

However, the Rift Beast reacted unexpectedly quickly, crouching down abruptly and skillfully avoiding Arthur's sword.

When his attack missed, Arthur immediately felt a powerful recoil force travel through the sword to his arm.

Immediately afterwards, the Rift Beast extended its flexible tentacles and attacked Arthur like a venomous snake.

After his sword missed its mark, Arthur quickly controlled the momentum of the blade, his muscles tensing as he forced the sword back to his side, forming a defensive barrier.

Before the tentacles flying through the air could even touch Arthur's body, they were severed by the sword he precisely pulled back. The severed limbs tumbled in the air, dissipating with a trace of energy.

Without giving the enemy any chance to breathe, Arthur quickly stepped forward, gripped the hilt of his sword again, and combined his physical strength with the precision of his swordsmanship to slash horizontally forward.

The sword flashed, precisely severing the spatial rift beast's head. Its body instantly lost all strength, collapsing to the ground, motionless.

On the other side, Rhine, who had just dodged the second attack, did not let his guard down at all.

His heart pounded in the intense battle. Although he had just cleverly used the body of the Rift Beast to dodge a fatal sneak attack, he still felt powerless in the air and unable to unleash his full strength.

Therefore, having gained this brief respite, Rhine quickly mobilized the magic within his body and unleashed an emergency spell.

Immediately afterwards, a fiery red figure flew out from the void, so fast that it left an afterimage in people's sight.

At the critical moment, the fiery red figure reached the Space Rift Beast first and caught Rhine with its sturdy body.
