The instant his hand descended, the world seemed to break.
It didn't sound like flesh striking flesh. It sounded like a shaped explosive detonating at point-blank range a controlled demolition charge tearing through reinforced stone.

The enchanted surface resisted as best it could, the runes flaring faintly under the stress, but even Selphira's reinforced design couldn't entirely absorb the sheer physical force.
Air exploded outward in a concentric shockwave, rippling visibly like heat haze. It slammed into the arena's protective dome with a low, thrumming resonance, the sound vibrating through the stands.
