Of course it was!
His hands were physically present, but from his wrist down, he could not feel a thing! They had been bound by an invisible force. He had only taken his eyes off his opponent for a moment, but Bella's piercing eyes were still on him like a rattlesnake. She launched herself in the air, and bore down on Alex with a fistful of mana.
Alex's foot moved really quickly.
So, with just two steps, he had been able to get out of Bella's way. She missed him and struck the earth under her. The ground shook at the impact. As Alex pivoted, he became aware of another presence that had been creeping up behind him.
Actually, they were two, and they were beautiful as Bella. What the hell is going on??? Alex roared in his mind. Why were these beautiful women trying to waste him???
