Boom!
A brilliant detonation took place.
In the ensuing darkness, the explosion lit up the atmosphere and diverted it away from the battlefield. Shalen detonated the RDX hidden inside her body.
Tia Taheel and her group of rankers were caught in the blast because of the suddenness of the attack. They thought that they were finishing off Shalen when it was the other way around.
"Aaaargh!"
Tia managed to escape the blast somehow. In the moment of life and death, she used the ranker beside her as a meat shield. She let the Adept-ranked ranker from her guild die to escape the sudden death sentence she was subjected to.

Even Goro was stunned as he felt the blast behind him. He was buying his time fighting because he didn't want to fight all out against a human doll. After all, he didn't want to fall prey to the follow-up attacks of the masterminds behind this thing.
