CH57 Into the Pyre II
***
Body Strengthening Magic! Fleetfoot! Featherflight! Featherfall!
Without hesitation, the OmniRune Core resumed its barrage of buffs.
Still channelling mana like a warrior, Alex launched himself forward like a comet.
His speed eclipsed even that of the peak Class 2 Nether Panther.
Then—
From the edge of the Flame Wave's radius—
A shadow leapt.
A surviving Ironspine Raveger wolf, burned but not broken, hurled itself at him in desperation.
Time slowed.
An idea struck.
A flash of inspiration.
Alex gathered the raging warrior-energy coiled inside him and focused it into his right arm.
Still flying forward at terrifying speed—
He punched.
His entire body's momentum compressed into that single blow.
And when it was released—
It didn't feel like a punch.
It felt like a cannon.
A phantom fist shot forward from Alex's arm—
an ethereal projection fuelled by speed, internal energy, and sheer momentum.
It struck the Ironspine Raveger wolf dead-on.
