No," Alvian said. "improvising."
He looked at Valeria. "Valeria. Hit me."
Valeria blinked. "What?"
"Hit me! With everything you have! Titan's Bash! Now!"
Valeria hesitated for a fraction of a second, then she trusted him. She screamed, activating her [Titan Bloodline]. She swung her shield with world-breaking force, aiming directly at Alvian's back.
Alvian didn't block. He didn't dodge. He activated [Runic Aegis].
"Reflect."
"CLANG!"
The shield hit the runes. The kinetic energy was absorbed. But Alvian didn't fire it back at Valeria. He held it. He held the explosive force of a Titan's full-power strike inside his own magical matrix.
[Warning! Kinetic Overload. Containment Failing.]
Alvian turned to Prime. He was glowing with unstable golden light. He was a walking bomb.
"You can predict my moves," Alvian said, his skin cracking from the pressure. "But you can't predict her."
He used [Void Step].
He appeared directly in front of Prime.
"Delivery!"
