Roman did not expect to have Zale using him as a springboard, and the feet pushing off his shoulders sent him tumbling straight into the floor. But he rolled right back to his feet, because FURY STOPS FOR NO MAN
Except by the time he was back up, the thing was already falling apart. Rhys's punches and Nadir's magic succeeded in snapping the weak vertebra out of place, and with a shudder and an icy hiss of breath, Kharveryos crumbled, its bones scattering across the hall.
Roman's heavy breathing slowed, shallowed, evened out. His fury faded. He straightened, arms down to his sides, and looked out over the damage.
He turned back to give Noelle and Zale a thumbs-up.
