The Radiant Crystal shot through the air like a bullet, heading straight for the teammate.
The teammate stared at it, unblinking, every nerve in his body stretched taut. He was ready, hands outstretched to catch it, not daring to make a single mistake as the crystal hurtled closer and closer.
But then, something unexpected happened.
Just as the Radiant Crystal was halfway to its destination, there was a sharp snap. Two long, slender fingers caught it mid-flight.
"Huh?"
Everyone froze, stunned.
Ethan's figure appeared out of nowhere, his gaze lowered as he inspected the Radiant Crystal now resting between his fingers.
The moment it touched his hand, a cool, icy sensation spread through his palm. Under the shimmering glow of the crystal, he could feel his body's cells buzzing with energy. It was clear—this thing could accelerate evolution.
