The Nearness of Defeat

'What the hell...?' Adam inwardly uttered, looking at Fromund's calm, confident posture.

He as well as hundreds of spectators watched Fromund nonchalantly raise his foot hoping with a simple stomp to stop the powerful shaking coming at him like an earthquake.

However, unlike Adam who had already used the full power of his Elemental Root, two gravitational strikes were all he had, otherwise, he couldn't even raise his arms, Fromund still hadn't revealed the essence of his one.

"Well, let's see how strong your Nexus quake is, judging by the looks of it it's only a side function, unlike my Elemental Root!" Fromund exclaimed before slamming his right foot onto the ground.

Amber waves of energy went down in a single stream, having full power over this element.

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

In a heartbeat, wide cracks spread across the ground with far greater speed and force than from Adam's vibrations.
