Team B catching onto Azam was within expectations, which is why the smoke screen wasn't just for him.
Under the cover of that thick gray haze, Greyfus positioned himself carefully. He angled his palms downward and unleashed controlled bursts of explosion magic from both hands.
BOOM!
The force propelled him forward like a rocket, with additional blasts from his feet to maintain the momentum and trajectory.
His body shot through the air in a blur of speed, arcing over the sticky substance that had trapped Azam as he soared toward Team B's glowing line.
He was this close to crossing it.
However Daegal, stationed at Team B's line, had been watching carefully. His eyes tracked Greyfus's trajectory through the dissipating smoke and at the last possible moment, just as Greyfus was about to cross, Daegal called out;
"Gale Burst."
