Lyner suddenly moved faster than the eye could see, he charged at Matthew trying to hit him. Yet before he could reach his target he dodged, as a bullet pass by him. Alex who was expecting Lyner to attack Matthew shot blindly behind Matthew's back. He wasn't able to see how Lyner moved, but the moment he felt Lyner's intense killing intent coming close, Alex just shot randomly behind Matthew.
It was a lucky shot, but it gave them the time they needed to do the next step. They now know that Lyner stopped his mind games, and was now going on the attack. Alex and Matthew looked at each other when Alex suddenly started blinking. That was the signal to initiate the plan.
Matthew suddenly went into his pseudo RELEASE state and started to run faster, deeper into the mountains. Alex also went into his own RELEASE state ready to face Lyner.
