Yasmine was surprised by this sudden attack. She thought that Razer would try to attack her, not her mount.
She was just winding up her flaming dragon in her sword but the shockwave already knocked off the blinders in her steed. It was too fast for her. She finally realized the gap between them even if it was only a one-stage difference in power realms. Even though it looked like the gap was close, Yasmine felt like she was looking at a deep abyss that she could never cross.
The blinders! Yasmine broke herself out of her stupor and realized that the blinders got blasted out of her mount.
Now that Razer took care of his only competitor, he quickly pulled forward and took first place. Yasmine didn't want to let him go that easily, but she reminded herself that without those blinders, she wouldn't be able to control her Canzer.
The moment that she couldn't catch it out of the air was the moment that she lost the race.
