Not a thick, heavy one but lean, fast, and lethal. Each link forged from fire and lightning fused together, pulsing with energy. I added space not a full tear, but a tension. A slight ripple in every link, so it could stretch and snap instantly between targets.
One link formed.
A glowing ring, not more than the size of my palm, burning red at the core and sparking around the edges. The lightning arced across the fire like veins of light, and when I tugged on it mentally, the ring jumped forward slightly, as if the space around it bent.
Good.
Another formed. Then another. Link by link, the chain grew, curling in the air in front of me like a serpent of glowing rings.
I gritted my teeth as the tension built. The fire screamed to erupt. The lightning threatened to snap in all directions. The spatial threads inside each link vibrated, unstable.
But I held it all.
