"Boom—!"
Amid the explosion, Regulus, transformed into a cannonball, slammed viciously into a lighthouse, smashing it to pieces and sending dust billowing into the sky.
"Rumble..."
Amid the flying stones and rubble, the towering lighthouse began to tilt.
That was because Regulus had struck it right in the middle, as though he had severed it at the waist. Its upper half collapsed, crashing down toward the ground.
"AAAAAAAH—!"
On the ground, the Gate City's residents panicked and fled in all directions.
The broken lighthouse crashed onto the ground and instantly became a pile of ruins.
Regulus slowly rose to his feet amid the rubble.

The ground struck by the massive beam seemed to cave in, collapsing layer by layer.
Yet that
