Adrian's eyes flashed sharply, a determined gleam shining as he activated his signature skill. The water beneath his feet churned violently; in an instant, jets of liquid energy burst upward like geysers, propelling him off the deck with explosive force.
BOOOM!
The Storm Reapers watched in stunned silence as their captain transformed into a streak of cerulean light, hurtling toward Akira, who was still high up in the air.
"Run, Valkyrie—if you can!" Adrian called, his voice echoing across the roaring wind.
Up in the sky, Akira's bright violet eyes widened in shock. The sudden display left her no time to think—she just pushed her wings harder, flying as fast as she could through the sky.
With every flap of her wings, she soared through a turbulent sky, her silver hair streaming behind her. The legendary sword beside her glowed with intermittent bursts of lightning as she twisted and turned to evade the torrent of water projectiles Adrian hurled after her.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
