Shanlilas glanced at them, raised his right hand, and brought it down with a fierce slap. A gust of astral wind shot from his palm.

Whoosh!

In an instant, it slammed into them. Together with the companions behind him, they were sent flying as if struck by a hundred-ton truck.

They spat out blood midair and crashed to the ground before they could even scream, hitting with a series of dull thuds and gouging several large pits into the earth.
