Two Vacuum Waves struck the rock wall almost simultaneously. The transparent blasts of air exploded against the stone surface, carving two deep cracks into it as rubble flew everywhere.
Under the successive impacts, the rock wall split apart from the middle, shattering into chunks of varying sizes that scattered in every direction with the remaining force behind them.
