Kyran recognized the man before him even before he finished what he was saying. Apart from that, he sensed an ominous foreboding and instinctively grabbed Cyneah by the waist to jump back.
Still.
BOOM!
"NGH—!"
"W-What—?"
"F-Father! What are you doing?"
"No! Lady Sisi is still—!"
Kyran felt a weight comparable to a huge, massive ton of steel slam to his exposed torso. The hit took him by surprise because he had believed he reacted well the moment he sensed the incoming danger.
"Kyran—!" Cyneah gasped in shock.
Although Kyran managed to filter most of the aftershock that came after the hit, Cyneah still felt a sliver of its strength and almost had her reeling in pain.
Kyran protected Cyneah as they were hurled several kilometers away from where they had appeared after exiting the portal.
"Ergh...!" Kyran roused his Draconic magic energy to enhance all his senses before forcefully regaining his bearing.
