But at that moment...
...Grace's golden eyes glinted slightly.
Jake, still rushing forward, also noticed the glint in Grace's eyes.
Then—
"…!"
Multiple orbs of condensed light suddenly popped into existence along his path, floating silently in the air like hidden bombs.
His [Instinct] flared immediately.
Without hesitation, Jake swung his sword in a sharp arc and sliced through the nearest orb.
The moment the blade made contact—
BOOOOM!
The light orb detonated violently, releasing a concentrated blast of radiant force that forced Jake to dig his feet into the ground and brace against the shockwave.
Jake turned to look at Grace—
And immediately saw them.
Multiple orbs of light floated in the space in front of her, arranged like a scattered field of mines waiting to be triggered.
But then, one by one, the orbs began to fade.
Their golden glow dimmed rapidly until they vanished completely from sight, as if they had simply turned invisible.
