Cr…Crack! Crack!
It was a sight unlike any other.
The sky, once a serene blue, was now cracking and breaking apart, revealing a jagged, gaping chasm that seemed to stretch from horizon to horizon.
The edges of the crack glowed with an ethereal light as if searing heat emanated from the depths of the celestial rupture.
"What's going on?"
Whispered someone in the crowd.
"The sky… It's…"
Stuttered another.
As the people stood there, frozen in awe, strange things began to happen.
Rustle―! Rustle―!
The crack pulsed and writhed, and one could hear a sound like the rustling of wings or the whispering of ghosts. And then, from the depths of the crack, something emerged - something huge and tangible… almost like a wave.
"H,hey…"
Leon punched Ram, who was beside him. His gaze was currently drawn toward the crack in the sky.
It was expanding by the second.
"I'm not seeing this, right?"
Ram shook his head, secretly taking a big gulp. There was something unsettling about the situation, and his lips trembled.
"You.. you have any idea of what's happening?"
"N,no."
Leon shook his head.
"I think it's best if― "
Just as he was about to finish his sentence, the crack exploded into bits, and the wave that formed above came crashing down from the sky.
Crash―!
The wave was so powerful that it sent the people scattering in all directions. Accompanying the wave were screams of terror which resounded throughout. Pieces of the sky fell directly down to earth, and everyone fell into a state of panic.
"Oh, shit!"
Leon muttered, staring at the approaching wave. He wanted to run, but he couldn't. The wave was too fast and too large for him to avoid. By the time a second had gone by, the wave was already upon him, and he reflexively closed his eyes, thinking this would be his last.
Wooosh―! But just as he closed his eyes, he felt a passing breeze, and the mana inside of his body boiled.
It was like a furnace had been lit inside him, and he could feel the power coursing through his veins.
