The web didn't stop.
The threads thickened. They came from behind, from below, from all around her.
Olivia swung her arm, and black flame cut a line through them.
Fsshh!!! Fsshh!!!
Threads burned, but the charred ends did not fall away. They reattached, then moved toward her again.
Seeing the opportunity, Alex signaled Mingyue.
He shoved his warhammer forward and forced white flame into the net.
BOOM!!!
It barely slowed.
His free hand drew a rune in the air, reinforcing the gap he had forced open and holding it in place a moment longer.
Mingyue slammed both palms out.
Purple lotuses bloomed and detonated one after another, forcing a small opening to widen.
Alex looked at Mingyue. "Now."
Mingyue nodded.
She pressed her palm against the side of Alex's warhammer head.
Purple frost spread over the white flame.
The flame and frost collided.
BOOM!!!
A single blast erupted.
It punched through the net like a spear and tore open a path.
