It had actually been a close call, the man had hidden at the back of the room and so been out of my detection.
With my head throbbing and Abul in front of me, I could not use echo to keep an eye on his movement, but thankfully, about two seconds before he fired his gun, he stepped into the range of my mind vision and I picked up on the danger.
Lifting my left hand, I wanted to end this unwanted thorn as soon as possible, but unfortunately for me, he chose to hide behind the wall of the room and with me having retreated backwards, he was well out of my sight and line of fire.
Though distracted, when Abul finally closed the distance between us and with grit used his injured right leg to support throwing a left kick at me, I casually raised my right hand and stopped his foot, wrapping my hand around his ankle and using his own momentum to send him flying behind me.
