Too much was happening and the time was ticking down. Zuri didn't have any time to think about anything other than to focus on taking Rutger down. Without wasting any more time, she takes the rune that Travis gave her and placed it in her non-dominant hand, which is her left. Zuri made sure she had a good grip on it before she started to run towards Rutger at a curved angle.

She kept a close eye on Travis's movement and action, and as he takes out the shotgun, Zuri stops and aims her right arm directly at Rutger's center mass, swiftly throwing up a rune in front of her palm before a shard, the size of a baseball bat bolted out at a very high speed with a barrier-piercing tip, flying directly towards Rutger in a straight line.

Zuri follows up with another attack, this time taking a little bit longer than before as she creates three small crystals, a little larger than marbles, infused with mana along with the effects of the curse that she has been living with for so many years.

What she held in the palm of her right hand was a highly concentrated cluster of crystal grenades that explodes when she triggers it instead of after a certain time or on impact to avoid it getting redirected and hurting her own allies. When triggered, it will release an explosion, similar to fireworks, a dark powder-like cloud that latches onto anything it can feed off. Zuri throws one of them directly at Rutger and triggers it when it's quite close to him, releasing a dark powder-like cloud that slowly creeps towards Rutger.

These grenades were something really special, as it contained a very experiential type of magic that has been long forgotten. Through many years of cultivation, this dark corruptive magic was infused into a mana crystal. Long story short, Zuri was jabbed and horribly infected by this curse and entrapped soon later in the large crystal she broke out of just roughly a week ago. Through the thousands of years, the darkness corrupted her mana pool and fed off it for a few hundred years before her body was able to overtake this curse and take control of it. As it was developed to be a magic suppressor, Zuri's power is still being suppressed to this very day, but she has managed to control it and to prevent its destructive nature from rising up ever again.
