He had to thank En Sabah Nur for the new abilities he'd given Luo Xia. The power to control sand and soil was perfect for clearing out grunts. But it came at a cost, too: that one move had consumed over a hundred thousand units of Luo Xia's AllSpark energy.
If he used it a few more times, even Luo Xia's energy reserves wouldn't keep up. But even if a hundred thousand Frost Giants surrounded him, Luo Xia could still get away unscathed. His body didn't tire or get hurt, and he had no vital organs.
