Daniel's instincts screamed. He slammed his left palm toward the ground and unleashed a violent burst of lightning.
*BZzBoom!*
The blast struck the floor beside him, throwing his body sideways. Daniel twisted in midair, rolled hard across the floor, and slammed shoulder-first into the wall.
*THUD!*
The massive rock tore through the spot where his head had been a split second earlier before smashing into the opposite corner.
*CraaASH!*
Dust and stone fragments filled the chamber.
Daniel coughed as he pushed himself up, his left hand trembling uncontrollably from the recoil, fingers twitched, numbness spreading through his left palm.
*Gasp~ Gasp~*
"Haah…"
He sucked in a sharp breath, planted his feet beneath him, and forced himself upright.
There was no time to recover.
Klaus was already coming.
*Whoosh~*
Flames erupted from the side, surging upward into a towering wall of fire that divided the chamber between them.
Then—
*FwooOOSH!*
