Realizing that while locked onto, they were unable to move, Kain's mind worked in overdrive to come up with a solution.
Eventually, he came up with one.
After briefly whispering an apology and thanks for its sacrifice, he had one of the few remaining Vespid guards ram into Vauleth at its greatest speed—
"ROOOAARR"
"SCREEE"
The painful collision brought backlash to both of the contracts, but it succeeded in causing the pair to be slightly bumped higher. And just in time.
A sonic boom detonated across the field as the wyrm's massive head passed just beneath Kain and Vauleth, and through where now only the Vespid guard remained, so close the wake of its spiritual pressure compressed Kain's flesh to bone hard enough to bruise and split open. Kain felt something hot slide down his cheek. Blood. Just from proximity.
Then came the second strike.
A violent ripple burst from the wyrm's maw—not energy, not fire, but a visible compression wave. The air folded inward. Space caved.
