Hopeless Standoff

*BOOM!*

The ball of fire dropped right into Elisa's position and enlarged. 

It engulfed the surroundings, blowing everyone away.        

It dug into the ground, destroyed the surroundings and pulled up walls of smoke.

As the ball of fire receded into oblivion, a body was revealed.

Scorched black and held beneath the soil level, all that could be seen was black.

But then…

"Ah…"

Ezra groaned, pushing himself back on his feet.

-----------

*SIUUM!*

As soon as he felt something, Ezra left the grandmasters and rushed to Elisa's side.

Even then, he reached her right as the grandmaster flew across and dropped the fireball.

His brain went into overdrive, any impact on the fireball would have it explode, so trying to move it was out of the options.

At the same time, he wasn't fast enough to avoid the impact, nor could he shield her from it in such an abysmal timeframe, so how was he to save Elisa?

The answer popped up.
