The Ghost Knight had already sensed the commotion here. It silently turned its horse around, pointed its lance, and the air, wrapped in a layer of icy mist under the night, rushed towards both sides, forming a vacuum zone. Brand immediately shoved Hu Que aside and rolled to the other side himself. Boom, boom, boom! Three loud explosions resounded, and the vacuum zone moved forward, causing the tall trees blocking its path to burst one by one—as if an invisible blade had sliced through them, wood chips flying everywhere.
The Ghost Knight lowered its hand, and a path over ten feet wide appeared in the forest, with nothing blocking the way between it and Brand.
Spectral Lance.
