"Damn…" Lucius muttered as he kept spinning upward, the world turning into a messy blur of sky and wind.
If he weren't used to getting launched like a ragdoll, he might have screamed.
Instead, he just raised an eyebrow as the clouds flipped around him like an overenthusiastic washing machine. "That had enough power to send me into orbit. I just wanted to one-shot him."
His spin slowed as he reached the peak of his trajectory.
For a brief moment, everything seemed still. The battlefield was so far below that the dragon, the mountains, and even the awakeners looked like scattered game pieces.
Lucius sighed as gravity began tugging him down again.
He had to squint to even see the dragon. "Well, that award is gone."
Then space trembled around his body, vibrating like thin glass.
Purple equations unfolded in the air… lines, arcs, formulas he consciously understood… They were talking about the elements, mana and everything else in this sky.
His body blurred.
