CRACK!
Suddenly, something inside Stella's mind broke. Boundless comprehension filled her mind as she realized something.
'Teacher?' she thought in shock as her life was about to end.
'I would have died?'
Gravis' saber was still swinging at her head.
BRRRRRRRRRR!
Suddenly, an apocalyptic storm of fire exploded out of Stella's body. Gravis' entire body started burning violently as he felt like he was touching the sun itself.
The knockback from the firestorm was so powerful that Gravis couldn't move his saber forward anymore. His entire body was violently pushed back with an unreal amount of heat as he barely clung to Stella's body. If this heat had been in the form of an attack, Gravis would have long been incinerated. The only reason why Gravis was still alive was that Stella had to release this fire as an aura.
Gravis barely held on, but he felt his body starting to burn into nothingness.
