You got this. Only a bit more...
You keep your focus while the chains of doom whirl around you. The mastery of the slayer is undeniable.
The blade is propelled toward your face. You know this one. It hit you a couple second ago. The attack can change angle abruptly, you have to dodge it twice.

You remove your head out of the way of the attack. When the axe comes back for your flank, you are ready to duck.
Keeping your energy invested in the cleanse spell, you keep an eye on the axe, that comes for a third cleave. THIRD? you spin, avoiding the strike. You keep the mana pouring in your spell, until the last drop.

>Leave the puddle alone. Let it dissipate.
>Cleanse the puddle, at the cost of more of your health
>Use the puddle as enchantment reagent [On what?]
