Soul Escape

Streams of vaporized blood came from Theron's eyes and ears, his veins bulging in size until they looked as though pythons were writhing beneath his skin.

When his foot pressed down, the soil compressed by an entire half-foot. But the swirling concentration of Water Mana was so high that the earth that should have swallowed up his feet became a liquefied mesh that propelled him forward instead.

BANG!

The legs of Theron's pants ripped apart as though his quads had exploded with too much strength.

Holding onto his short sword with two hands, Theron's body seemed to blink forward, streams of water wrapping around him in larger and larger tidal waves.

And then they all vanished in the blink of an eye, being sapped into his pores, as though pooling into dried sand.

SHIIIIIING!

There was a heaviness that suddenly formed around his blade, a bright coating of blue blooming so bright that it swallowed up the sunlight itself.
