'I missed.'
Zarek realized this the moment he slammed his palm down. No, it was a brief instant before. But in that same instant, he pivoted, more than ready.
He activated three layers of \[Sudden Drop] at once, quickly activating \[Angel Wing Flash] in the same moment.
BOOM!
Chi. Chi. Chi.
Zarek accelerated back, the explosion suffocated beneath the sudden vacuum. However, this wasn't an explosion of pure fire. While he could limit the combustion-like aftereffects, he couldn't stop the explosion itself.
But he didn't need to, he just needed to slip out of its range.
A wall of heated air suddenly hit Zarek's face as the effects of \[Sudden Drop] crumbled. His hair was blasted back, his skin deforming beneath the heft.
He used three more \[Angel Wing Flashes] in that instant, plus three \[Sudden Drops]. He only had four of the first and seven of the latter left. It would be hard to do that again.
'One more shot.'
