The woman's knees had barely left the ground when Kael moved.
His bow was already raised with hisarrow nocked, lightning crackling along the shaft. The shot was lined up—her chest. Grey's enhancement sang through his muscles, making the draw effortless, making the hold steady.
He released.
The arrow screamed toward her—
WHOOOM!
Wind erupted from the woman's body like a bomb going off as a pure, desperate expulsion of air fired in every direction. The arrow caught the edge of the gust and veered wildly, embedding itself in a wall six meters to the left.
Kael flew backward.
His boots left the ground. The wind caught him like a ragdoll, tossing him through the air, spinning him end over end. He crashed through a rotting door frame, bounced off a collapsed wall, and hit the ground hard enough to taste blood.
"Kael!" Yenna's voice.
He quickly got up. Shaking off the impact. Grey's enhancement was still active, amplifying his durability more than normal.
