The metal prison began to close around Elio.
Five creatures coordinating their powers to trap him. A single error, a moment of doubt, and he would be finished.
The Roseline-shark answered his desperate call. The impulse took him eighteen meters away from the creatures, the metal barely closing as he escaped the deadly trap.
Elio Mana: 6
But the beasts were already moving again, the metal flowing between them like liquid.
The battle wasn't over.
Elio found himself pressed into another imperative decision.
He could feel the four mana points almost ready, but the options before him were all equally deadly.
Staying still meant being trapped again.
Retreating would leave him even further out of range...
The four-point explosion would barely cover a few meters, and he was already more than twenty meters away after the impulse. Despite this, the creatures were still in range to capture him.
