The flaming fist struck Aaron square on his face, it was so sudden and impactful, that he didn't know he was punched until he had been sent flying.
*PONG!*
The sound of metal hitting metal echoed out as Aaron flew backward with a bloody nose, a split lower lip, and a red hot face.
His momentum died and he hit the ground. Due to his weight, he immediately carved a long fissure into the ground as he tried to stop himself from moving.
Zed, Zod, and Aeon looked back with shock evident in their eyes, they hadn't expected what happened to actually happen.
Yet, none of them moved to help Aaron, not even his father. They all slowly turned to look at Kael creepily.
This was unexpected indeed, they had assumed Kael would probably be scared since he was outnumbered and outmatched.
But no, Kael had actually struck Aaron, it was like he had been waiting for Aarn to get close enough so that he could do that.
