In that brief moment, everyone's gaze converged on a single point—
On the scorched earth was an impact crater, still emitting wisps of green smoke.
At the center of the crater's floor, three fist-sized stones hovered silently.
They were a deep, dark blue, their surfaces streaked with fiery golden-red lines that flowed like lava.
Fall Mother!
And three of them at that!
In that instant, everyone present held their breath, their eyes blazing with an irrepressible, feverish heat!
The Longbow expert's pupils contracted, his eyes flashing with a sharp light.
However, just as this desire was about to ignite an all-out melee—
SWISH!
A sharp sound of something cutting through the air rang out, not from the ground, but from above!
Someone descended from the sky like a goshawk, moving with unbelievable speed. They landed gracefully beside the Fall Mother, seemingly unfazed by the scorching heat.
The newcomer was an old man with loose, white hair, but his eyes shone like cold stars.
