Without another word, a deafening crack shook the heavens.
Crackle!!
A massive bolt of white-blue lightning struck down from the clear sky, slamming into the exact spot where Noah stood.
The light was so bright that the entire crowd was forced to shield their eyes, the roar of the thunder drowning out every other sound in the wasteland.
When the light faded, Noah was nowhere to be found, having disappeared along with the lightning.
Strangely enough, even though the lightning had been powerful enough to shake the earth, there was no damage done to the ground.
The crowd gasped in unison.
"So this is the might of an arch magus…" someone whispered from the back.
The murmur spread like wildfire through the ranks of the adventurers and civilians alike, their eyes darting towards the miles long wall of ice.
The one who had been the most afraid was Yuan.
He remained in his deep bow for several seconds after the lightning had vanished, his breath coming in ragged gasps.
