The battlefield quaked beneath the weight of clashing Shinrei and screams, human and Voidborn alike. Shadows tore against flame, dust rose like prayer smoke. Amidst the chaos, Khael's dragonfire flared once more, forcing Selene and Alaric to turn their attention toward him
And that was when it happened.
A blur of motion.
A fist cutting through the air like a storm-born hammer.
CRACK!
Alaric staggered forward, his golden eyes wide surprise flickering like lightning behind them.
He turned. "How did you get here?"
Behind him stood Juno, chest heaving, his fists still trembling with the raw power that burned through his veins. Veins pulsed faintly along his arms glowing with crimson light as the 5th Taishin Gate coursed through him.
Juno smirked, sweat glistening under the fractured light of burning Voidborns.
"Guess it."
