The maximum nullification output dropped — the forced movement disrupting the concentration, the grey distortion at the entry point losing its peak intensity for the half-second the kick's disruption lasted.
The rift at zero distance surged.
In the half-second of reduced nullification — the cycling rift's formation rate exceeding the reduced stripping rate, the rift achieving full function for the first time at zero distance against Bovac's chest.
For half a second.
Half a second was enough.
Bovac passed through the entry.
Not willingly — the full-function rift at zero distance against his chest creating the intake force that the compromised versions hadn't been able to create, the zero-distance fully-functional entry pulling with the complete force a clean rift produced at point-blank range.
He arrived at the cage corner exit.
Thirty feet from where he had been.
