For a moment, everything had slowed. Both sides had paused, their attention drawn to the destruction of the spikes. Even the drifting warfields had stilled slightly, as if the void itself was reacting to what had just happened.
I let out a breath and spoke.

A wave of cheers broke out, and in the next instant, the entire formation surged forward again. The hesitation was gone. The moment of shock had passed. Now it was only war.
My summons moved first.
Ragnar let out a deep roar that shook the space around him as he released his restraint. His body expanded rapidly, muscles growing, bones shifting, until he stood as a massive ape, towering over everything nearby. His fists clenched as he slammed into the battlefield, crushing through phantoms and abominations alike.
