Chapter 98 - I Have Everything Under Control
Rygar felt enormous pressure, as if with every passing second he were closer to death—a huge pressure upon himself.
He quickly analyzed his situation as the most mortal wounds gradually began to heal.
Even with his fire barrier, his touki reinforcing him, the stone wall, and the large amount of water, nothing had protected him from that devastating explosion.
This meant that either the mage who cast it was extremely powerful, or it was a gathering of several mages joining forces to cast it.
It was as if the very earth had been torn from its foundations, as if he had been struck by something as powerful as a nuclear bomb, and he had barely managed to escape with all his defenses.
He no longer saw that Northern King or the Minister, which meant that they were probably reduced to ashes by the attack.
His body was unrecognizable. Both legs, burned to ashes, the charred flesh disintegrating with every breath, only his resilient bones remained, also charred.
His left arm was no better—the skin ruined, the bones visible and cracked; his hair, clothes, and everything else he was carrying had melted or turned to ashes.
Among the items that remained were Tsukikage, Nighthunter, and that "Sealing Chain of the Mad Dragon King" that he had taken with him after massacring the ambushing army.
All his personal items—the necklace his mother gave him when he was five, the wooden amulet that Rufus gave him when he left—any trace of them had melted or turned to ashes.
He was partially blinded, his right eye rendered useless, closed by a deep burn, but fortunately it had not been completely destroyed, so it could still be healed with Saint Level Healing magic.
