The bright flash was followed by a huge gust of wind instantly afterward.
Allen had braced himself but the force of the shockwave still slammed into him and made him stumble back a step.
Luna on the other hand who was closer and completely unprepared was knocked off her feet. She fell to one knee with her ears ringing from the deafening blast.
A thick cloud of black dust and smoke now covered the spot where the man had been while the air around the area was heavy with the smell of burnt chemicals.
Allen didn't move. His eyes were locked on the drone feed in his mind.

As the smoke slowly started to disappear, the drone's cameras zoomed in as the drone itself descended in altitude, getting a better picture of the place where the grenade had gone off.
The feed on the holographic screen before Allen's eyes showed nothing. There were no signs of a body. Not even a corpse seemed to be present there.
