Battlecaster
A group of monsters charges towards a man, he throws off his cape and his body starts to light up in magical energy, his eyes glow with light. He starts moving at tremendous speeds leaving a tray of light behind him. He moves up to the monsters blasting them backwards with a magic blast from his hands one by one jumping from one to the other. He dodges their attacks with his high speed and knocks them to the ground one by one, until he is the last one standing.
