Ancient One's stern demand was like a roaring thunderclap, an invisible wave of sound carrying spiritual force as it crashed like a surging tide toward the young man standing where he was.
A faint golden light flashed through Sean's eyes. He took a step back as surging power swept out from his body. The two powerful energy fluctuations collided, and violent, visible tremors shook the void. Like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, they sent ripples spreading outward as the wide yellow robes fluttered wildly, like a fierce wind rushing head-on.
Ancient One's gaze grew slightly more serious. She made a light pressing motion with her left hand, and the ground beneath them trembled. Intricate patterns piled up into a brick-and-stone wave as tall as a person. Sean could sense some obscure, hidden energy fluctuation attached to it, probably the strange power of so-called Magic Charms. If he was touched by it, those seemingly fragile concrete bricks would instantly become a solid prison!
Compared with Mutants' superpowers or powerful technological weapons, magic was far more difficult to guard against. Through cumbersome incantations or complex magic arrays, it drew upon some formidable energy and bestowed all manner of wondrous effects. It could attack the body and destroy the soul alike. No wonder those bizarre creatures in Dimensional Space regarded sorcerers as natural enemies.
The solidified Energy Field expanded, grinding the wave of bricks and rubble into dust. Fine cracks spread across the ground beneath his feet. Immense power condensed into a single point, then erupted! In an instant, Sean crossed the distance through space and brought down a vicious punch! The surging force compressed the air, unleashing astonishing power like an artillery shell!
A delicate folding fan snapped open, and ancient incantations flashed into existence, blocking the heavy, savage blow.
