Back at the Camp
The sky dimmed.
For a second, the blazing afternoon sun vanished, replaced by sudden twilight, an unnatural eclipse of pure darkness.
And then…
BOOOOOOOMMMMM!!!
The ground trembled. A blinding flash swallowed the horizon, followed by a thundering shockwave that made tents flutter and support mages stagger.
The air itself shivered.
The camp was far from the frontline, yet even here, the explosion had weight, like the heavens themselves had just been punched.
"What the hell was that?!"
"Was that… night?! Just now?!"
"No way, that aura… it… it felt like an epic rank skill! But, wasn't there only one Epic on our side?"
"Is that even possible…?! A gold rank can't do that! Can they?!"
A healer dropped the potion bottle she was holding, shattering it on the ground. No one even noticed.
Even the princess stood, eyes wide, one hand over her heart. "That… wasn't Sairi."
Somewhere, high in the sky.
The wind screamed around him.
