MingYue moved to intercept, but the ship's gravity wave surged again, pushing her off-line and pinning her movement for a split second.
"Annoying," she whispered.
Ice burst from her feet, forming a long spear of frozen light.
With a kick, the spear crossed the distance instantly and pierced the first stone humanoid through the chest.
The geode core inside it flared, then went unstable.
The construct exploded into fragments, and every fragment froze mid-blast.
The other two made their move.
They slammed onto the ship's back near Alex, their fists cracking the stone plating like thunder.
Alex moved back a step, but his palm never left the hull.
He raised his other hand and snapped his fingers.
Flame ignited in the air.
It thinned, sharpened, and stretched into a blade.
Swoosh!
The fireblade sliced across one construct's arm.
The construct tried to regrow it.
Alex narrowed his eyes.
The fireblade moved again.
