Zane took a heavy blow, blood spurting from his mouth as his body was sent flying backward. He tumbled across the ground several times before finally coming to a stop.
His entire body felt like it had been shattered, the impact leaving him shaken to his core.
That hit had nearly cost him half his life.

"Ice Wall!" The female Awakener, Number 004, acted quickly, her voice tinged with urgency. She summoned her ability, and with a deafening rumble, several thick walls of ice erupted from the ground, standing between Zane and the incoming attack.
The ice radiated an intense chill, its thickness formidable.
