The possessed Soltz flew forward at high speed, with Emery following directly behind as the vanguard.
The infected Wildwrath Tyrant fiercely charged toward him.
Emery twisted his body and let the Elysian Roots absorb as much of the impact as they could while channeling the Dao of Heaven and Earth through the rest of his body. He used the backlash itself to propel himself farther forward, turning the force of the Supreme's attack into momentum.
He managed to shed roughly half of the impact this way.
The other half still tore through his defenses.
Blood leaked from the corner of Emery's mouth as his muscles screamed under the strain.
The chase dragged on.
This time the grotesque eye creature had joined the horde.
As if that wasn't enough, Emery's senses suddenly caught something else.
