As the fireball was about to strike him, a thick stone wall erupted beside Daniel, blocking the incoming attack.
Meanwhile, Zane's attention on Daniel caused him to lower his guard.
The centipede's tail slammed into him, sending him skidding across the ground before crashing down with a heavy thud.
"Agh…"
Daniel staggered to his feet, one hand pressed against his forehead, still dazed from the explosion.
Behind him stood a man with no skin left on his face, only raw flesh and flowing blood. Flames flickered in his outstretched palm.
*Whoosh*
*Bz! Krak!*
Daniel gritted his teeth and met the incoming attack with a crackling spear of lightning.
The two attacks collided before he darted past the fake Zero, catching a glimpse of Helen battling the other clone.
…
Chaos spread across the battlefield, and their situation grew worse.
The centipede drove Zane back with an endless storm of claws and whipping strikes, leaving him no chance to counterattack.
