Being the closest to the point of impact, Astaroth was the first one to feel the shock wave that blasted off of the Lich, as Galtion smashed into its body like a meteor. The wind pressure sent him tumbling backward in the air, struggling to regain his balance.
When he did, the sun was peeking into the arena grounds, the black smog-like barrier closing it up, dissipating.
Astaroth looked up toward the Lich, but couldn't find it. But he saw something else, though.
And that was a rapidly descending Galtion, who, after rising toward the sky for about two thousand meters, had lost all his momentum, and gravity reasserted itself over him.
His heavy metallic armour made him go much less high than he had expected, but still significantly higher than he should have gone.
Now on a free fall, Galtion was screaming his lungs out, as he watched the ground come up on him fast.
