THUD.
He hit the ground face-first.
Still breathing.
Barely conscious.
Kosan stared down at him coldly.
"…He survived that blast."
Then Kosan's expression hardened.
"But he's useless to me."
He took a slow step forward.
"In the end, I'll just burn that academy down. Burn every student until I find the crystal."
Kosan raised his hand.
A dark flame blast began forming again, dense and violent, swirling like a black sun in his palm.
Michael lay on the ground, unmoving.
Barely alive.
Barely aware.
Kosan's eyes narrowed.
"Now…"
He lifted his hand higher.
"Die."
He released it.
The dark blast shot forward, ripping through the air straight toward Michael.
But then,
WHOOSH!!
Something covered in blue energy fell from the sky at insane speed.
It struck the ground like lightning.
And in the same instant,
Michael vanished.
Teleported.
The blast missed.
BOOOOOOM!!
The dark flame slammed into the earth and exploded, obliterating everything in that spot.
