Like they had already expected it, Rehabab and Naomi were unbothered by the fact that Bernald had survived their attacks. They nodded their heads, satisfied when they saw burn marks on his sin and clothes after he became visible.
With a water-like wave of lightning rushing around him, Bernald began moving forward and both Naomi and Rehabab could only raise an eyebrow when the staff in his hands disappeared and a lightning bolt appeared in it.
Bernald held the lightning bolt like it was a tangible rope, he stretched and coiled it, seeming to be testing its durability and then nodding his head, he blitzed forward, his eye filled with a white shine.
Each of Bernald's steps made the air hum, charging it up with electricity, and then when he came to stop, surprise on both Rehabab and Naomi's faces.
They had each thought Bernald would be targeting one of them, but instead, he had run and stood between them.
