Ethan's POV
The beam collided with the ground where I had been a moment before, detonating with a deafening explosion similar to the power of three or four grenades combined.
Shards of rock and debris erupted in every direction, and a cloud of dust and smoke enveloped the area. I cloaked myself in dark energy protecting myself against the aftershocks of the explosion.
I vanished into the darkness again with my eyes narrowing as I assessed the situation. The monstrous shadow stood at the edge of the chaos and had stopped chasing Victor as it knew that more enemies had arrived.
Its movements were slow but deliberate as it scanned the area. Victor in the distance appeared totally exhausted as glowing blood embers in the darkness still danced around his fists.
Virelle's urgent voice sounded in mind, "Brother Ethan, I'll create a diversion! Be ready!"
