Lyra's laugh rang in his ears worse than any hit he had taken.
His big gamble his one shot at winning had failed completely. It was embarrassing and hopeless.
He was done.
But even as he lay there acting defeated, his eyes stayed wide open. His skill Limitless Comprehension was firing at full power.
He wasn't focused on Lyra anymore. He was seeing the whole battlefield.
Across the clearing, the real fight was happening. Selvara was a whirlwind of ice battling Orion fiercely.
The air buzzed with ice and lightning. It was both beautiful and scary to watch.
Orion moved like a flash of blue with his lightning-fast strikes leaving streaks behind. But Selvara kept up with him.
She moved smoothly over the icy ground blocking every strike with strong ice shields.
But the rest of their team was a problem.
