He shifted his right leg ever so slightly behind him. Then, leaning his weight on it, he dropped to a slightly lower altitude, and struck out his arms, redirecting the flames north of him- to the target.
It was like pure white lightning- only in the form of fire.
Red, hot, angry pillars of fire, five times the circumference of his head, shot out from the hollow of his palm in horizontal streams. And for a moment, it seemed like Nexus' shoulders became one with the flames. His coat flapped behind him. His long hair draped from his hat, also swaying behind him.
The bright red color cast a looming shadow over the entire cave. The dreadful pillars raged out in long streams, covering the staggering distance of twenty feet.
The stone slab did not stand a chance. Like flesh dissolving before a burst of volcanic lava, the rock began to melt away as if it was butter.
Nexus brought back his right foot to level with his left. Casually, he turned back in the direction of the old man.
