The moment of truth.
Badump! Badump!
Clinton did not have a heart and yet he could not help the feeling like his heart was beating rapidly in his chest, filling him with a rush of adrenaline as he executed the crazy plan that he came up with to survive.
As soon as the frost shard materialized in his arm, there was no more hesitation in his mind. Abstraction took place.
Every distraction disappeared, replaced by cold focus and will.
Clinton took careful aim, aligning the shot with the base of the support rune beneath the gate. Then, he released it.
Leaving a blur behind, the shard flew and struck true, striking the conduit and the result was instant.
CRACK!
A sound like glass shearing across steel echoed through the arena.
Then…
BOOOOOOM!
The mana veins exploded outward in violent arcs of destabilized energy. A cascade of magical backlash rippled across the floor, rupturing the runes that kept the arena whole.
