Namyanna held out her hand, and the trident flew back into her grasp. Stepping forward, she hurled it at the shark still sharpening its teeth.
The weapon skimmed over the shattered ice, its tip aimed straight at the shark.
The mantis shrimp was already prepared inside the cave.
It slammed its right arm against its left.
Bang!
A compressed blast erupted from its left arm and followed the trajectory it had lined up in advance. The trident happened to be directly in its path.
Namyanna wasn't taking any chances.
She raised her other hand, and the broken slabs of ice scattered across the water lit up with an icy blue glow. They changed direction and closed in on the shark from all sides.
Just before the trident struck, the compressed blast arrived.
The high-speed air current collided head-on with the weapon's tip.
The two forces canceled each other out, knocking the trident off course. It vanished from where it had been and reappeared embedded in the distant beach.
