“Rush over to the golden light halo in the center. Stay in there for now, and don’t come out.” Brielle nodded in response. While their opponents were distracted, she quickly seized the opportunity and dashed as fast as she could to the halo in the center. James likewise immediately dashed to a white halo. The magical energy emitted by the white halo suffused his body and improved his strength.
