"Stay out of this!" Al roared.
His body trembled violently.
The energy inside him felt like it was about to erupt.
And then—
BOOOOOOOM!!!
A violent explosion of golden and pitch-black energy fused together, bursting outward in every direction.
It blasted through the barrier and shot straight into the sky… tearing through the clouds and piercing the heavens.
The ground shook.
A crushing pressure radiated from Al's body, flinging everything around him away.
Tents were blown off.
The forest quaked.
The sky—
It looked like it was cracking open, as if a void—like a black hole—was leaking through.
As if reality itself had been shaken.
Nuzakha's eyes widened as he struggled to withstand the overwhelming wave of energy.
"…Did it fail? Or did this bring… calamity?"
Not long after, the energy wave subsided.
The tribe members let out relieved breaths, slowly moving toward the source of the explosion—only to find the area still shrouded in thick smoke.
