The high-grade fire-attribute magic bomb—retail price: ten million U credits (pre-tax, of course)—was now armed, enhanced, and ready.
With a flick of my wrist, I lobbed it toward the charging Beetle.
"Move!" Leo barked.
We dove back, and the heavy doors slammed shut just as the bomb detonated on the other side.
BOOOOOOM—!!!!!!!
A muffled explosion rocked the earth, heat blooming through the gaps.
And for the first time since entering this cursed room, everyone was silent—waiting to see if we'd just pulled off the impossible.
But I know better one explosive bomb was not enough but what if I have 20?
....and they're all enhanced with my talent?
That change the things.
I took second bomb and activated my talent and at the same time I looked towards Leo.
Leo's eyes met mine.
No words passed between us—but in that split second, I could tell.
He understood.
There was no hesitation in his nod. Just trust. And that was all I needed.
