Alex had just replicated treasures from Karoth when Karoth moved.
BOOM!
The moment he shifted his weight, the world around Alex seemed to collapse inward. A deep boom rolled through the chamber as the ground shattered beneath Karoth's step. Dust burst upward like a dark wave, and broken stone flew in every direction.
Alex felt the pressure hit him before the sound reached his ears. This pressure was like a crushing force that made his chest tighten, and his bones scream in warning.
He tried to retreat, and his body tried to obey. But his thoughts were slower than Karoth's movement.
The space between them vanished. A massive shadow swallowed Alex's vision, and a black fist slammed forward like a falling meteor.
Bang!
The impact landed on Alex's chest with a thunderous bang that shook the walls and split the air. Pain exploded inside him. His ribs felt as if they had shattered into fragments, and his heart slammed violently against his chest.
Pfft.
