Got You
The man didn't respond. He remained still in the form of a towering monument of dread. Then, from one moment to the next, his form crackled and he vanished.
The guards blinked, stunned for a fraction of a second before a flash of lightning illuminated the place.
The figure reappeared mid-motion with his form streaking across the guards like a storm incarnate. Each movement of his was a blur despite their highly trained perception and high levels as he zigzagged between them.
"Electromancer!! Stop him before he reaches the young ladies!" One shouted while raising his sword, but it was too slow; the man's form was already past him before he could take a swing.
His speed was almost incomprehensible - one moment he was in front of a guard, the next he was behind them. His movements were zigzagging in sharp, precise arcs and each flash of his body disrupted the air, leaving trails of faint electricity in his wake.
