The massive sphere continued descending from the sky.
Darkness swallowed everything beneath it.
The pressure pouring from the attack weighed heavily on the battlefield, causing the shattered earth to tremble beneath its presence.
I tightened my grip on Ayuru.
Then I moved.
The moment my foot touched the ground, the terrain beneath me cracked apart.
I shot forward.
The enormous sphere continued falling.
The amount of mana compressed within it was ridiculous.
Even from this distance, I could feel the surrounding air vibrating.
Lucielle remained suspended high above the battlefield, silently watching.
The sphere descended further.
I accelerated.
The distance rapidly closed.
Then Ayuru swung.
A silver arc flashed through the air.
The massive sphere trembled.
For a brief moment, the attack resisted.
Then a crack appeared across its surface.
Another followed.
Then another.
The sphere began splitting apart.
Dark mana erupted from the fractures.
