Being caught completely off guard meant Grain received the stranger's full powered attack to his back.
A orange light enveloped him from behind, and his consciousness left.
Only to return in less than a second, allowing him to witness his own body fly through dozens of trees, and mounds of dirt. Passing through vegetation and terrain for well over a kilometer. Each obstacle broke his body down worse than the previous, until his battered figure slammed against a large boulder.
His limbs were useless and he was sure he had a ton of internal damage. Bones poked out of places and at angles that defied basic anatomy, making him look like a botched action figure. His limbs pointing in different directions, and his body covered in blood and dirt, left him completely immobile.
Grains vison was blurry at best, but he could still see his opponent walking leisurely towards him.
