The Back Foot
The clouds darkened and gathered above their heads. Yul could not help but turn his attention to the sky above. Even though his skin was made of rock, he could still feel the static electricity in the air.
As a thunderous boom resounded through the air, Yul realised too late what his enemy was aiming for. With the black clouds as a backdrop, a flash of lightning lit up the sky. Erik used his free hand to direct the bolt towards the giant.
Yul knew that with his large frame, he would never be able to dodge the incoming attack. He could only grit his teeth and brace for the impact. As the bolt struck a puff of black smoke erupted, followed by the smell of something burning.
