"Boom!"
Another explosion rang out, but this time it came not from the Demon King Cult, but from the two people wearing strange masks.
Nor did it strike the edge of the square this time. It landed precisely in its center.
The dust stirred up by the lightning strike mingled with a sudden whirlwind, engulfing everyone in the square in an instant.
