Varek's voice roared again, tearing through Malakai's thoughts.
"ANOTHER LANCE!"
Malakai's eyes widened…
Nyx moved.
Her aura surged, flooding the entire carriage.
The air bent around her as Vita whipped through the space, spiraling toward her in a violent current.
She stepped forward and raised her hand.
A radiant green shield burst to life in front of her, glowing like a living wall.
The second lance hit.
BOOM.
An explosion ripped across the sky, loud enough to deafen gods. The force parted the clouds for hundreds of meters, tearing the sky open.
The carriage didn't survive.
It was blown apart in an instant, splintering into countless fragments, swallowed by the smoke that now engulfed the skies.
Varek yanked the reins hard, steadying his Equilador mid-movement. The explosion's force had flung him and his entire squad off course, scattering them like leaves in a storm.
