"I see!" he barked. "You're thinking when we hit the ground, the force will ignite it and—"
His words never finished.
The last thing Vincent saw before a sharp pain erupted in his ribs was Elias's smirk flashing through the darkness.
Then—impact.
Elias drove the jagged tip of the can opener straight into Vincent's exposed side. The twisted metal bit deep, tearing through the weakened armor where the molten crust had already started to crack..
His mouth opened in a silent gasp, but before he could react, a boot came flying in from the side.
Yui.
The force of Yui's heel slamming into Vincent's face sent him hurtling sideways. His body spun through the air like a ragdoll before colliding with the resort's pool deck in a violent crash, sending tiles flying in every direction. The edge of the resort caved under the impact, a crater forming where Vincent landed.
Elias barely had a second to process it.
His stomach lurched as the last bit of gravitational pull dragged him downward.
