355: Fear

BAM!

Cough!

As Corey was slammed into the wall, he coughed out a mouthful of saliva. The wall was much harder than Corey anticipated and that made him frown slightly.

His ears rang once again, and without wasting a second, he jumped forward.

Slash!

Slash!

Two slashes appeared in Corey's previous position, and Corey, who just dodged a fatal strike, quickly jumped to the side once again.

Bang!

Corey glanced at his previous spot, and he saw a bolt. His gaze shifted to a glowing symbol on the bolt and his eyes widened.

Corey quickly erected his hexagon barrier, and for a moment, there was only silence.

Then, with a deafening roar, the bolt detonated in a blinding flash of light and a concussive wave of force. The air erupted with shards of debris and billowing clouds of smoke as the explosion tore through the surroundings with unforgiving fury.
