### 218

You escape through the steel roof of the tower and catch a fleeting glimpse of the rain-swept city far below. Suddenly there is a tremendous flash as the bomb explodes and a debris-laden shock wave hits you from behind, flattening you against the dragonfly’s crusty neck: lost 3 ENDURANCE points.

Your winged mount is hit by twisted metal from the blast which tears open its vulnerable belly. You feel it shudder, and then, in a terrifying instant, it ceases to beat its gossamer wings. Moments later you find yourself clinging desperately to its back as it plummets towards the ruins of the alien city.

If you possess Deliverance and have attained the rank of Sun Knight, turn to 76.

If you do not possess this skill, or if you have yet to attain this level of Kai Mastery, turn to 226.
