The crater still sizzled with electric heat.
Bel stood in the center, cloaked in frost and flame, one sword wreathed in blue fire, the other in icy mist.
His body trembled slightly, not from fear, but from the sheer pressure trying to contain what burned within him.
[HP: 3,490 / 5,700][MP: 4,100 / 6,120][Stamina: 2,780 / 5,000]
He exhaled.
"Let's burn... TO ASHES!"
His aura burst like a star imploding.
A storm of ice erupted into the sky, snow falling thick and fast. The clouds twisted, forming a vortex above them.
But the wind brought more than snow. The bird screeched, and lightning joined the dance.
Forks of energy sparked through the storm, turning the white flurry into a glowing tempest.
Bel stepped forward, then swung his fire blade upward.
The air ignited. A column of flame burst from the arc of his slash, stretching toward the sky like a wave made of pure heat. It swallowed part of the clouds.
Bel blinked.
...That was big.
