A force unlike anything I had ever felt before crashed down from above.
I barely had time to register the weight before my knees buckled.
My vision blurred.
My lungs emptied as if the very air had been ripped from them.
The city screamed.
The wall collapsed, Buildings crumbled into dust, streets split apart like fragile glass, and the awakened, those who were freezed, those who had been fighting, even those who had already fallen, were all struck by the same, inescapable force.
Beth's cry was lost in the chaos as she was slammed into the ground.
Edward… I couldn't even see him.
I tried to resist, to push back, but it was like trying to hold back the sky itself.
My entire body was pinned, my bones feeling as if they would snap under the sheer force pressing down on me.
And yet…
The orc lord stood untouched.
He hadn't moved.
Not even a single inch.
As if the destruction around him was nothing more than a gust of wind.
