Cunning adversary
Having narrowly escaped the fiery chaos in the garden, Rain immediately took action to deal with the pursuing guards. Reacting instinctively, he unleashed a powerful blast of water from his hand, propelling it with tremendous force toward the soldiers. They were caught off guard and sent flying backward, crashing into the nearby building and effectively halting their pursuit.
With the immediate threat neutralized, Rain shifted his focus to making his escape. Using controlled bursts of wind beneath his feet, he began to move as if he were walking on air. This technique granted him remarkable agility and speed, allowing him to quickly put distance between himself and his pursuers.
When Rain returned to where the others were, they were caught off guard by his appearance. They heard the explosions even from a distance, and they also saw the sky brightening.
"... What happened?" Branden asked.
