Malverin's reaction finally gave Ethan his answer.
He was Silas and Adrian's father.
But Silas had clearly said their father was dead.
So why was Malverin still alive?
Ethan had no time to think about it. The stone arrows and multicolored blade were already upon him.
The gray-white space spread around Ethan once more. Malverin charged into it, but didn't freeze completely. Instead, his speed weakened layer by layer, his movements growing slower with every step.
That gave Ethan all the time he needed.
He drove the energy sphere in his palm into the gray-white space.
White energy spread along the walls. The gray slowly drained from the surrounding area until it became pure white and merged with the space beyond.
Lightning flared on every side.
Thunder rolled without end.
Ethan moved between the bolts, easily avoiding Malverin's slowed blade and stone arrows. Several pink spikes shot from beside his hand, each one pinning one of Malverin's limbs.
