Stepping out of the teleportation window into the deserted lands of my island never felt so good.
Dropping down to the dusty ground, I pushed the feeling of pain from the wounds bestowed on me by the not-so-gentle touch of the spatial rifts aside, using all my leftover energy to cover the small distance separating me from the tower.
Yes, I managed to escape before the other party came out of their own teleportation windows, but I could use it only thanks to the Bonger, while they most probably didn't have such an advantage.
If they were jumping all by themselves, they had to be infinitely better versed in this kind of techniques, making even the greatest distance just a small hindrance instead of perfect defence.
As my healing kicked in, I could slowly lift myself from the crawl and start marching, only to turn it into a run as soon as my body allowed me to do so.
Despite all that, I was still too late.
First one for today, yay!
