An explosion, much larger than anything Damion had ever seen before, rocked the area, erupting from the rock behind him in all its full glory.
A strong heatwave and shockwave combo reached him instantly, lifting him off his feet and flinging him backwards.
His back slammed heavily against a wall, and he coughed out blood that evaporated immediately. However, the residual shockwave kept him pinned to the wall, unable to move as his skin was scorched by red flames in the next few seconds.
He groaned and gritted his teeth, pain and frustration ravaging his senses and causing him to desperately search for a way to escape. He spread his senses, and Shadow Walk activated again, taking him to safety.
At the same time, the flames from the explosion died down, thick black smoke filling the air, and glowing magma pools spilling over.
Damion laid at the entrance of a cave, the wall just round the corner having been the place the explosion had come from.
