Uriel had drawn as many formations on his body as he could to make up for his current weakness.
They numbered in the thousands, each standing as creations of his Star Echelons. He had thousands of Star Echelon formations etched onto him, each fueled by his star rings.
And yet, he couldn't react.
SHURR!
Kael's blade sliced down, and Uriel felt a large gash tear across his chest, dancing alongside a burning wave of lightning aether.
The wave of energy fought against the field of his nervous system, frying it and paralyzing him.
Taking advantage of this, Kael stepped forward and, with his free hand, viciously grabbed Uriel's neck.
He squeezed once, shattering the boy's trachea, then spun and threw him overhead to slam him down into the charred ground.
BOOM!
Uriel's body slammed heavily against the ground, his neck crashing into it at an awkward angle, nearly shattering entirely as it was already weakened by Kael's earlier attack.
