This made it a lot easier for Alexi's avatar to bind Gant's innate ability with its giant body and squeeze it with all its strength. It created the most secure but also deadly prison. To keep the bear out of the fight. If the two joined hands... the result was obvious.
Alexi's cognitive ability took a slight dip because of this. He dedicated a small part of his consciousness to controlling the avatar. It was negligible, as all he had to do was think 'squeeze'.
Gant stared at Alexi, who stood a short distance away. Alexi had injured him as the explosion happened just as he opened his shield to let the bear out. His injuries were trivial, only burnt hair and skin. His pride was more hurt than his body. The aura Membrane of the Kou Collective was renowned for its outstanding defense.
