Sizzle~!
A shriek of energy and pressure suddenly rang out, accompanied by faint electromagnetic vibrations.
In the blink of an eye, a thick, blinding beam of energy sliced through the dense fog and struck the junk tank.
The impact shook the hundred-ton armored vehicle as if it were a tin toy being rattled.
