Snow's strongest strike hit home ..
and within moments the Baharat Knight's body erupted and began to crumble beneath the weight of Snow's light. The murderous cut bored through him at a terrifying rate; to take the blow in full would mean certain death.
Instinct screamed it at the Baharat Knight—triggering the danger mechanism deep in his mind.
At that final instant, with death a hair's breadth away, the space around the Baharat Knight shuddered ..
and the knight's eyes blazed.
From within the broken knight's body, a strange cold pulsed outward in a ring—
a wave that toyed with the void itself and sank everything around him into darkness.
For a moment, the world seemed drowned in a deep, murky blue.
And as it spread, everything froze.
Snow Lionheart's magnificent strike halted mid-arc after carving through half the knight's torso. Snow himself stood on the far side ..locked in place, unable to move a muscle.
Even far away…
