Boom!
Abert Austin was the first to bear the brunt, directly colliding with the surging flames.
Even though he held a large shield capable of fending off rifle bullets, it still couldn't withstand the impact of the fire surge, and he was sent flying.
It was almost identical to when this Transcendent had previously knocked his opponent away!
But his warning and the burst of power at the critical moment blocked the momentum of the fire surge for a split second.
This gave the Night Watchmen behind him a chance to evade and resist.
The scorching heat instantly engulfed the passage, igniting the Night Watchmen's robes, and the accompanying shock wave shattered their formation, reducing it to chaos.
"Wizard!"
Abert Austin leapt up from the ground, his robe stained with filth, his face twisted in a savage expression, as if he was ready to devour someone.
The fire surge that had just erupted was entirely the product of Transcendent power—the Wizard's witchcraft!
