Under the clear, blue sky, John stepped through the void, his right hand raised high.
His entire body seemed like the gaping maw of a demon, devouring the elemental energy contained within the magical artifacts surrounding him.
As the countless elemental particles illuminated his body, he suddenly radiated a dazzling light, and then his form began to swell.
He transformed into a towering, blood-red elemental giant, standing between heaven and earth, immense and imposing, exerting a crushing pressure that seemed to forbid the very existence of the world.
The Dragon Princess and the other Middle Earth prodigies and mages, who had just been floating in mid-air, now felt an overwhelming pressure emanating from John, as if the sky itself were collapsing, making it impossible for them to continue flying.
"What kind of technique is this? It's terrifying!"
"It seems like a forbidden technique, and John has mastered it to an extremely high level!"
