Alistair, Alistar had underestimated himself.
He had underestimated what happened when death and source energy-fueled human bombs mixed. The aftermath.
A calm wave first spread, harmless, before a growing ball of light arose from nothing itself.
It was not harmless.
Its arrival caused earth to wail and wind to cease living. This dark and misty energy enveloped the 'Aroth-Valent' soldiers, dragging them to its magenta-ed abyss.
Within its grasp, skins coiled and twisted, vessels exploded crimson, and bones directly devolved to dust. Existence and life dwindled… until nothing.
The sphere charged itself with those destroyed existences. It grew stronger, encompassing.
The dilapidated field crumbled more and more, returning to its base constituents.
Steel and stone were its final form.
Nothing could stop the wave—before it struck the barrier.
