Just as the brilliant and majestic platinum dragon shadow was about to reach the shrinking rift.
A sudden change occurred!
A sliver of eerie light seeped out from the closing rift.
It shuddered violently as if alive. The churning mist inside abruptly solidified and materialized, transforming into a massive ghost hand covered in strange runes—withered, yet incomparably solid.
It didn't dodge or evade, ramming head-on into the Jade Dragon's claws!
BOOM!
A muffled roar, born from the violent distortion of space and the brutal clash of different fundamental powers, echoed throughout the arena.
Visible ripples of blackness and shattered platinum light exploded from the point of impact, causing the protective light barrier above the arena to undulate violently, flickering in and out of existence.
The aftershock of the blow made countless spectators below feel a tightness in their chests, as if they'd been struck by an invisible hammer.
