235 The Blood Snake Vertebrae

Huge amounts of elemental energy exploded within the limited space of the sinkhole. The scene was spectacular.

Boom!

It was as if the whole city had been struck heavily by a hammer deep underground. The earthquake knocked many people to the ground. From the sky, horrifying fissures could be seen stretching into the distance like old tree roots.

Flames and lights gushed out of the sinkhole like a volcanic eruption. They rushed into the night sky and lit up Central Pine City.

Everyone was stunned by the scene.

Even the flaming ape, mayor, and dean stopped fighting.

The ape suddenly looked afraid. It was not afraid of fire, but that soaring flame had awakened an instinctual fear.

It turned tail and ran.
