Aiming his staff forward, it glowed for a moment, and then a tiny arrow of air shot out.
It stopped just short of Phoenix, hovering in place before rapidly expanding into a swirling sphere.
The sphere began to draw in the surrounding air with incredible force, growing dense and distorting everything around it.
Phoenix could feel herself being pulled towards it, her movements sluggish as all her Wind Blades went astray.
Then, in the next moment, the sphere detonated.
Its walls of compressed air shot out in all directions.
The sheer force behind the violent gusts of wind caused the platform beneath them to groan as its steel supports bent under the strain.
"Finally some fight."
An excited Phoenix quickly realized she'd be seriously hurt if the attack reached her.
She had no choice but to retreat, halting her pursuit as she shot off backwards to avoid the blast's aftermath.
