Fortune Didn't Favor The Brave

Their voices were calm, but inside, they were worried, two of them terrified even.

They needed to keep their distance, use their abilities strategically, and hope they could outlast him until a professor arrived.

It sounded impossible, as Album could reach any of them in one or two steps and end their lives. 

But instead of thinking about that, they began to act. 

Max stepped forward, clenching his fists through his two knuckledusters, as gold as his eyes.

His abilities were close-range, so he had no choice but to engage Album head-on.

"DRAGON'S ROAR!"

A shockwave of Aether spread through the area, targeting Album and injecting fear into him. It wasn't close to being enough to freeze a Seraphim, but it might just slow him down slightly.

"Cover me!"

Max yelled as he charged forward.

His fists burned with fire, and his muscular body radiated raw power.

Ratatatatatatatatat!
