I blinked a few times and the next thing I knew, I was standing in the centre of the arena, the whiteness I saw earlier revealing itself as a fog that had covered the space in the arena which dissipated after being blown by a gust of wind.
I looked around, wondering if this was just the normal turn of events after a winner had been decided. But I realised that Valuria was kneeling on a knee a few feet in front of me, looking confused as well.
My gaze then shifted to the pillars and…
CRACK.
The sound was deafening and a small shockwave washed over the area, bathing the place with raw mana that had suddenly broken loose.
All of us turned to the source of the noise to see one of the pillars had spiderweb like cracks all over its surface and the runes on it were pulsing angrily.
Then one piece of the pillar broke off and fell to the ground, which seemed to be the catalyst as the rest of the pillar shattered into pieces and crumbled into a pile of rocks.
