Tetsuya's dark pupils suddenly contracted to pinpoints.
An intense sense of impending danger, almost ready to burst forth, exploded in his mind.
Before his brain could even process it, his body instinctively reacted in an instant.

Not to mention that even they themselves were pale-faced.
"Onix, use Earthquake!"
A steady voice sounded.
A gigantic rock serpent burst out of the ground.
The seemingly absurd command effectively resisted the tremors
