A Bloom and Bloom had just clashed, and he was right at the center of it.
'A shield.' He glanced around himself. A greenish shield had appeared around him in a bubble.
Just as he was about to wonder about his other squad members, the shockwave reached him.
It roared from the center of impact and slammed into him like a bomb. It was like an explosion.
The trees around him were uprooted, earth shattered, branches flung. Malakai was sent flying inside the shield, bouncing off its sides like a ping pong ball.
Hundreds of meters turned into a thousand, and it just kept climbing, until Malakai lost track of how far he had moved.
Then, with a big crash, he slammed into a large tree, caving it in deeply.
'S-shit.' Malakai cursed.
He shook his head rapidly, trying hard to steady his spinning head. Nyx had just blocked an attack from a Bloom. They had still ambushed them, even this close to the stronghold.
