Skevyn controlled the shield energy released by the veteran Guardians and their junior Archmages, wrapping the entire aircraft carrier in an energy barrier shaped like a perfect sphere.
Meanwhile, the three Guardians, Alodi, Medivh, and Khadgar, all transformed into ravens and flew out of the aircraft carrier toward the Maelstrom.
The arcane energy element aggregate lacked a complete detonation mechanism. As a pure energy core, it still needed the Guardians to guide it.
A small-scale arcane nuclear bomb had already been successfully tested at the Waning Glacier, and production was now officially underway. To obtain a benchmark for its destructive power, the Guardian Temple and the Kirin Tor decided to conduct a larger-scale test in a more open area.
Since the equipment and assembly materials for the arcane nuclear bomb were still being produced, the Archmages simply skipped those steps and created a powerful arcane energy aggregate directly.
Using Lightforging Crystals crafted and modified by the newly appointed Guardian Khadgar, the Guardian Council had stored vast quantities of arcane energy.
The atmosphere grew increasingly solemn. As the only layman present, Rowan felt an absurd amount of pressure.
Just how powerful would a nuclear bomb from this magical world be?
In truth, Rowan had never witnessed an actual nuclear detonation on Blue Star either. He had only watched a few videos, and even those explosions might not have been real footage.
Now, however, Rowan was watching the arcane energy elements gather power with his own eyes. He did not dare blink, afraid he might miss this magnificent spectacle.
The ravens, shrouded in blue light, gradually receded from view, becoming points of light like stars.
Rowan nervously held his breath, his eyes fixed on the purple arcane energy aggregate.
