Dante was still frozen in place, feeling the heat cutting through his face. His life had just flashed before his eyes, and with his perception enhanced, he watched all of it with details he had never noticed before. His mind was quickly overwhelmed. Thankfully, he came back to his senses and decelerated just in time, barely avoiding his mind getting fried by his own thoughts.
[HAHAHAHAHA! Look at you! You should see your face!]
Jake burst out laughing as he watched him gasp for air, but Dante paid him no mind. His thoughts were still a mess after being brought to a sudden halt, so he couldn't even be angry right now. Finn had said that the beam's output was reduced to a point where it wouldn't deal any damage. That seemed to be true, seeing as he wasn't split in half, but the heat streaking across his face spoke the story of what could have happened.
"Fucking… hell…"
