Thousands of energy blades surged into the sky toward Taranis, while from the heavens themselves, a pillar of lightning descended, distorting the air around it.
The energy blades gathered into a dense cluster, forming a massive disc that blocked the path of the incoming pillar.
The moment the two forces collided, cataclysmic thunder erupted, audible from thousands of kilometers away. Webs of lightning spread in all directions from the point of impact, their force uprooting trees from the ground and hurling them outward.
Blood burst from Rhaegar's ears due to the deafening roars of thunder, and his control over the energy blades faltered.
As he witnessed the descending lightning, memories of how he had lost his arm and suffered severe burns across half his body resurfaced in his mind, causing his control to waver even further.
