Ethan didn't dodge.
He snapped his arm forward and threw the lightning sphere.
The transparent ball met the saber arc head-on. The two forces collided in midair.
The slash tried to cleave the sphere in half. Transparent lightning detonated from inside, latching onto the arc's edges and ripping inward like jaws.
Boom!
The explosion of light burst over the mine.
The shockwave rolled outward, shaking the golden mountain so hard that sheets of loose rock broke free and tumbled down. Emerald Castle soldiers below threw up shields on instinct, barely holding back the pressure that slammed down from above.
Using the split-second gap created by the collision, Ethan opened the system interface and ran a rapid scan on his opponent.
The information flashed up almost immediately.
Kharvexis.
Tier 35, mid-stage.
Able to command a portion of this world's Primordial Force.
Ethan's gaze sharpened.
This one wasn't like the Solaryn he'd just butchered.
