The dark clouds continued expanding in the sky above.
It'd only taken a couple of seconds before they'd reached the same size as they had during the competition at Westridge.
But Theo wasn't stopping there.
'I wonder how strong I can make it now that my mana has increased so much,' he thought, grinning as he continued pouring in mana.
The Desert Vultures had long sensed the danger above them.
Several of them let out loud screeches, their blood-red eyes locking onto Theo below.
SCREEECH!
Almost immediately, the flock completely spread apart.
Most climbed high into the sky while gathering as much earth mana as they could.
Others came together and started forming hundreds of razor-sharp spikes that pointed at Theo.
'They're certainly preparing,' he thought, narrowing his eyes.
After a moment, his grin only grew wider.
He'd stopped growing the clouds once they'd spread several hundred yards around him.
The first drops of rain immediately started to fall.
