The center of the deserted village lit up.
Slightly later, flashes of heat ran across the ground as though they were licking it.
I confirmed out of the corner of my eye that all the trees burst into flames and turned into black shadows.
Slightly later, the explosion came.
But this magic armor that contained my magical power weighed several tons.
I withstood the blast without flinching.
After carefully waiting for the destruction to settle, I lowered my hand.
An enormous mushroom cloud had risen from the center of the deserted village.
I couldn't see the ground well because of the smoke, but I had loaded enough force to blow away everything.
That was probably the highest class of force out of everything I'd ever used.
"..."
And yet.
And yet, my body wouldn't stop shivering.
The killing intent which had been inevitably drawing closer since earlier hadn't disappeared.
It was drawing near at a fierce speed.
It had been so far away, and now it was already so close.
