Chapter 17 Unexpected Ending
The orc stomped the ground three times.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Three homing Fissures exploded from the earth, their rocky spikes shooting upward toward Zane. But they shattered harmlessly against the Sacred Barrier, unable to pierce its radiant shell.
The terrain around Zane twisted and cracked—jagged stone spikes crisscrossed beneath him, forming a menacing cage of upheaved ground.
But the orc wasn’t done.
He stomped the earth five more times, summoning a barrage of Fissures that encircled the battlefield like a trap closing shut.
Then—he leapt.
Soaring high above the glowing dome, the blue-skinned beast roared and began hammering down with both fists—again and again.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
The dome held.
Zane still felt no pain... but his mana—it was draining fast. Nearly a quarter of his total reserves had vanished in mere seconds.
