"GET AWAY FROM ME!" Darren shrieked. Driven past the brink of sanity, he detonated what little stone armor remained on his body to push off the relentless and savage currents of this twisting water mass he was trapped in.
[Stone Armor Explosion]
The kinetic blast of exploding rock shards smashed into the rising vortex boiling the water into a blinding white cloud of scalding steam. The force cleared the immediate area, but it completely drained Darren's reserves. He stood drenched, gasping for air, his defenses completely stripped.
Before the mist could clear, Dylan breached the white cloud, stepping squarely into Darren's guard. Dylan was a horrific sight. Despite his robes shredded, soaked in own blood, impaled by rocks, he still moved forward without hesitation.
"You-"
With Darren's body already bloodied and his reactions slowed to a crawl, Dylan unleashed a relentless, rapid-fire rush of Ocean-Boosted strikes!
*Bang!* *Bang!* *Bang!* *Bang!*
*BANG!*
