"STOP!" Lucian screamed.
Ramirez heard him and paused in confusion as his own danger instincts finally tingled, but he couldn't react.
It was too late.
KABOOM!
A jury-rigged bomb!
The world rocked, the ground vibrated!
Ramirez was right at the very edge of the explosion as it detonated, and instinctively he curled his body up to protect his head and his vital organs even as his orange ADE flared, forming a cocoon shape around him.
He hardened his skin instinctively, but this was not enough to protect him completely from the extremely high temperature of the surging flames.
Afterall, this was what pushed Parasite to the brink of death, a bonafide E Rank Gene Augur just like Ramirez though it was also because Parasite was right at the heart of the flames.
Besides, it was not just flames, the jury-rigged bomb was a combination of both an incendiary bomb and a fragmentation bomb.
