Just a bit low on mana,\" Soren replied quickly. The battlefield was still chaotic, and he didn’t have time to explain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he had already wiped out nearly one-third of the monster army alone and even pushed himself beyond level 30, many enemies remained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his evolved Keen Sight skill, he could see Aurelia relentlessly bombarding the orcs with AOE fire spells, while Evan fought the Graythorn Heavy Warrior head-on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even so, clearing everything would still take time; time he didn’t have.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And if these scattered monsters were left alive, they might strike from behind when he later moved to kill the dungeon boss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But since his teammates didn’t possess something like the Wyvern’s Wing Sigil, they couldn’t reach every corner of the battlefield to eliminate the monsters efficiently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aria, the area’s nearly clear.
