My entire body burst out from the thick clouds where the castle floated. The wind howled past me as I pivoted sharply in the air, then shot upward again.
I began channeling Essence into my staff, letting the power flow freely through it. As the Essence surged, the staff trembled in my grip—vibrating like it was alive—before suddenly growing in length, shooting upward like a spear of light.
I stopped the flow of Essence the moment the staff stretched longer than the castle's width. My arms tensed and thickened, adapting instinctively to the sudden increase in weight. Muscles bulged, my bones braced, and I let out a roar as I swung it down with everything I had.
"Blitz Hakai!"
The air cracked apart as the staff tore through the sky. It pierced the mist still hanging from my earlier strike and slammed into the floating castle with a thunderous crash.
BOOM!!
