They slammed down with explosive force, earth cracking outward in a violent shockwave. Debris and purple fog burst upward in spiraling clouds.
Eirene reacted instantly.
Before Gojo's body fully settled, she grabbed Victor and leapt away from the impact zone.
Her feet barely touched the ground as she sprinted.
She didn't know where she was running but she kept at it, trying to get Victor away from danger.
The terrain made no sense... Paths curved unnaturally and trees shifted positions subtly when not directly observed.
Roots tried to entangle her ankles while rocks shifted like living creatures.
Behind her, the Sylrith descended calmly, chasing after her.
She fired more corruption blasts backward, saturating the air with destructive waves.
Most were nullified while some were redirected.
None struck cleanly.
Her frustration increased as Victor remained unconscious in her arms like a dead weight.
The fog thickened and her vision distorted but she pushed harder.
