Alex's pneuma charged forward like a mindless zombie, even letting out an incomprehensible sound as it stretched its hands out, seeking to grab him though its end goal was still unknown.
Of course, Alex wasn't about to find out what would happen should it grab him as he immediately took several steps back while trying to figure out how best to restrain this malicious entity.
The last time, he'd had Nadia's help as well as a certain amount of Quillion.
In this case, he had neither and so was hard-pressed to find a way out of his current predicament.
It didn't help that his pneuma grew faster, its desire to get him caused it to exhibit a terrifying level of physical prowess.
Taking a moment to gather his thoughts, Alex finally stopped running and instead, utilized his Authority in a bid to command it to stop.
It worked but only for a few seconds.
