Bang!

Just before her punch connected with his back, an earthen energy covered his body. However… 

Crack!

Bang!

It shattered like a brittle glass just a split second later and her punch landed on the young man's back, sending him hurtling through the air for over 50 meters before he crashed onto the ground, creating a small crater.

"What?!" 

Everyone gaped at the scene, stunned, especially those who knew the young man's identity. They were stunned not only because she dared to attack him openly but also because she easily overpowered him.

Max was also surprised, but the reason behind his surprise differed from others. 

He could discern Amara's punch packed strength comparable to or stronger than an early-stage, three-star attack, however… despite him being taken off guard, the young man didn't seem to take much damage.

'He should be a mid-stage three-star, strength type mage, an elite among the inner disciples.' He mused.
