The spell detonated in the Magus's face.
The recoil sent him skidding backward, smoke rising from his arms.
He did not fall.
His wings snapped open, lightning crackling across their span.
Vek'tal dropped from above.
"RRRRAAAAHHH!"
He crashed into the Magus like a meteor.
His fists were wrapped in Soul fire, the heat warping the air around them.
His fist hit the barrier.
The flames surged and shattered it.
The impact launched the Magus backward into a stone pillar.
CRUNCH.
Even pinned, the Magus fought.
Mana arced across his body.
A surge of gravity erupted from him and sent all three of them flying again.
Ben twisted in mid-air and stabbed his pickaxe into the wall to slow his fall.
Draeven flipped through the air and landed hard.
Purple flames flared under his feet and softened the impact.
Vek'tal slammed into the dirt, cracking it beneath him, but he pushed himself up with a growl.
His obsidian skin was cracked now as he burned his soul to enhance his strength.
