Lighting struck from the sky, the darkness disappeared for a split second and the bright light took over.
Cedric jumped off in a split second, using his fastest speed. Unfortunately, Midnight could not be saved. The horse was burned to a crisp. That wasn't Callista's cold lighting attack, but Lucian's most lethal attack, capable of killing Cedric.
Then another set of bright lights appeared in front of them as a rune formed, and Callista and Lucian stepped out.
The air smelled like charcoal and body. Abrielle realised Cedric had gone stiff after the power attack. "Cedric," she called out. he groaned slowly, his arms still wrapping her protectively. His entire arm was burned by the attack, the pain tearing through his body.
He did not even have enough time to recover from the shock when he felt a strong force clashing towards him. Cedric was able to evade with his sharp instincts but it came at a cost.
