"Didn't we already take down their leader? I feel like this one is even more powerful than her," Xasha spoke in a voice filled with caution.
"It doesn't matter. We have to take it down quickly. We wasted too much time already. I just hope Lea and the others are doing ok." Ana wasted no time as she charged almost half her imperium reserve into her staff and cast her most powerful attack. A bright golden light covered almost a quarter of the Central District. When the light receded, the area around Ana turned into a crater.
All except the black palace that stood in place without a scratch on it, leaving Ana astonished. There was a reaction to her attack from inside the palace. A violent shriek that the sound waves from it nearly knocked Xasha out of the sky reverberated from the palace. A giant mantis rose from the Black Palace and shot toward Ana with ferocity.
