Infuriating

The screens went blank. 

The shockwave that ensued after the collision of both attacks was so intense that it enveloped the entire arena, obscuring the live stream.

People stared at the screens with wide eyes, leaning forward as if they could will themselves into it to see the outcome firsthand. The tension in the air was just that insane.

To them, the battle had to be over. The explosion they had just witnessed was too immense, like the climactic finale at the peak of every battle.

The seconds that followed were slow and excruciating for everyone watching. The people of the human domain felt their hearts racing, many muttering prayers under their breaths.

Anastasia's heart pounded so hard that every person in the Ravenstein estate could have heard it. Yet, no one paid attention, as their own hearts were also racing.

Finally, the inevitable happened. The dust that obscured the entire arena began to clear, revealing the aftermath.
