"BUZZ!"
Violent beams of high-density plasma surged forward, glowing like twin spears of annihilation.
They shrieked through the chamber, slicing through the air with a deafening "ZZZZHHHHRRRRR!"
In a split second, they were about to vaporize Igaris and Evernight into smoldering dust.
But—
Igaris didn't flinch.
He calmly extended two fingers.
CRACK!
A streak of red, jagged energy erupted from his fingertips, colliding head-on with the plasma beams.
"KA-BOOOM!"
An earthshaking explosion tore through the chamber.
The shockwave blasted furniture apart. Ancient pillars cracked. Dust and fragments of stone flew in all directions.
Councilors were blown of from their seats, crashing to the ground with panicked grunts.
"Agh!"
"Protect yourselves!"
The flames dimmed. Smoke curled into the air.
And there stood Igaris, unmoved in the chaos.
Red energy coiled around his arm like a dragon awakened.
