Instead of sending a beam of mana out, I send a hazy tendril that moves slow as shit when perceived from the first stage of time dilation, but it gets the wisp of energy delivered right in front of Vesten.
The explosion goes off and the old man is sent flying back.
He skids to a halt still on his feet, blood spits out of his mouth and he struggles to straighten his back
He raises his head and sees the glint of steel closing in.
Rushing past the captain of the Knights Guard his head is removed from his shoulders and I breathe heavily at the excursion.
That took a lot out of me.
Ragged breaths escape me while turning back to Daveen, she is no longer slumped against the wall but standing rigid while blue eyes watch the dead body, willing the knight to get back up.
With a pulse from my sword and knuckles, commas are released and I silence and release the kinetic force.
