Ethan picked up on it instantly—
The energy radiating from the attackers wasn't just strong. It blended seamlessly with the aura of the cliff itself.
Like they were born from the mountain.
Within seconds,
they'd gathered at the mouth of Ethan's cave.
Their power surged all at once—
No warning.
Just a brutal, full-force assault.
BOOM—!
The entire cliff shook.
The cave roared.
Ethan had already figured the Gemward Tribe didn't come here to talk.
The moment they closed in, he raised one palm and gave a gentle push.
No dramatic flourish—
But the result was terrifying.
A shockwave of invisible force exploded outward like a crashing tide.
The warriors at the front didn't even get a chance to react. They were blasted backward, slammed against the stone walls so hard they dropped unconscious on impact.
A deep, low rumble hung in the air.
Before the rest of them could regroup—
Ethan's form unraveled again.
