"Clap clap clap clap—!"
The raging wind, carrying astonishing impact, shook the ground violently. Cracking sounds rang out as the earth seemed to be dug up by an invisible force, gradually collapsing inward around Frontier Wind.
"Pfft!"
The massive consumption of magical energy subjected Frontier Wind to the greatest pressure from the Artificial Heavenly Realm. Blood immediately gushed from her mouth like a fountain, staining the surrounding space red.

A tremendous explosion swept through the crater.
