The ground beneath them had long since collapsed, replaced by a crater large enough to swallow a city block. Shockwaves rolled outward with every clash, toppling walls, leveling towers, and blasting debris into the air like meteors.
At one point, Ballion leapt back and raised his arms, summoning an ocean of darkness above his head. The tide poured down like a black tsunami, threatening to drown the entire city.
William only smirked grimly. Planting his feet, he punched upward once. Just once.
BOOOOM!
The golden war aura exploded from his fist, piercing the ocean of darkness like a spear of sunlight, tearing a hole straight through it. The tide split apart, dissipating into nothing but smoke.
Ballion stared in disbelief as William landed, dust rising around him. His war aura blazed brighter than ever, the raw intent of conflict shattering everything in its path.
