The flame head launched a stream of searing fire across the floor, carving a line straight toward Vyn. The lightning head twisted mid-air and cracked its neck once, then shot a bolt so fast it lit the chamber white. Frost spread from the ice head’s mouth in a wide arc, forcing Reia to backpedal. And the stone head slammed into the floor near Silas, sending debris and dust flying into the air like bombs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had moved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So the team did too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silas planted both boots hard into the ground—his new gear locking in with a thud.

A glow formed on her palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tactical Sync activated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now she saw the battlefield like it was mapped in her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone’s movement.
