Ambush

Whooosh!

Thorn's eyes widened as Kyran closed in on him in an instant and slammed a palm on his chest.

BAM!

Thorn was caught off guard by Kyran's sudden attack and did not have the time to evade it.

Ladon, on the other hand, was surprised, not by Kyran's action but because he did not expect the latter to move faster than him.

Crackle!

Boom!

Right after Kyran's palm struck Thorn's chest, he executed a swift retreat, narrowly avoiding a concentrated magic attack that sizzled into the spot where Thorn had just been. The attack, a product of a magic array above them, was clearly aimed at the latter.

Going back a few seconds, Kyran sensed the formation of the magic array and deduced its trajectory. He then realized that it was aimed at Thorn, which was why he pushed the latter out of the way.
