The crowd fell into stunned silence at the sight of the lightning bolt. White currents crackled around Zack's body, illuminating his side of the arena with an electric glow.
The sight was surreal.
Shock didn't even begin to describe what the audience present felt, especially when they realized who Zack Everlette truly was.
He was the young man abandoned by his own prestigious family. The one who was beaten by Max some time ago. That Zack had just become the first person to detect and prevent Skyler's teleportation attack!
Surprise gasps echoed through the stands. The drones floating near the arena zoomed in, replaying the moment in flawless detail.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the arena, Skyler stood at the very edge, warm blood flowing down from his left shoulder where the massive lightning bolt had struck him.
He had vanished when he was flung back and reappeared at the edge of the arena.
Yet, he didn't clutch the wound, even as crimson blood stained his uniform.
