André didn't hesitate. With the real Victor identified, he launched himself from the ceiling beam, diving directly into the oncoming wave of lunar energy. It was a move that appeared suicidal—even reckless by André's standards—but his Keen Instincts had spotted something else: minute fluctuations in the energy's pattern, revealing narrow corridors where the destructive force was weakest.
The warehouse exploded in silver light as André plummeted through the energy wave, his body twisting through the invisible safe passages his instincts had detected. The moonlight seared his skin where it grazed him, but he avoided a direct hit that would have been fatal. The concrete floor cracked beneath him as he landed in a crouch, his eyes fixed on the Victor he now knew to be real.
"Impressive," the circle of Victors commented in unison, their synchronization perfect once again. "But ultimately futile."
