Alex was panicking.
The sled wagon was going way too fast for him. He couldn't even change its direction or brake!
After some seconds of panic, Alex reached the even ground, but the sled didn't seem to stop at all.
It just kept on going!
"Jump down!"
A powerful shout came from the city walls when Alex had still been over a kilometer away. Alex didn't even think about how loud that shout had been to be heard from such a long distance.
Alex looked to the side at the rapidly passing surroundings.
How was he supposed to jump off something that's moving so fast?!
However, Alex's mind, which had gotten used to stressful situations, quickly came up with a solution.
Alex gritted his teeth. 'Let's hope this works!'
Alex put his left hand to the Ice Wood behind him for two seconds. In these two seconds, Alex absorbed a lot of Ice Mana, and the familiar feeling of bursting appeared.
Then, Alex took a deep breath and jumped to the side, protecting his head with his arms.
Everything seemingly moved in slow motion for Alex.
BANG!
Alex hit the ground, and his body was violently thrown around. Alex spun several times in the air, and he felt the centripetal force pulling his arms away.
BANG!
A second hit, and several of Alex's bones broke.
Alex completely lost his sense of direction, and he had no idea where he was going.
BANG!
Alex hit something, but after a brief moment of resistance, it gave way. He felt himself nearly puke at the force that hit his body just now.
BANG!
Alex hit the ground again, and his shoulder broke.
BANG!
He hit another thing, which quickly gave way beneath his force.
