When Geralt finally emerged from the cloud of smoke, his eyes were red with tears, reflecting the depth of his anguish.
Alecra's agonized call for help cut through the chaos and made him feel like he had to act quickly.
His mana senses were all disrupted by the nature of the smoke, and he couldn't locate Aizel.
In an effort to help Alecra, Geralt channeled the power of lightning into his veins.
Putting all of his strength into his legs, he pushed himself up into the air and flew with unwavering determination toward Alecra.
But to Geralt's astonishment, suspended in mid-air was a sword, its gleaming blade intricately adorned with chains that stretched all the way to the arrow impaling Alecra's shoulder.
Geralt was about to grab the sword and help when he saw a small, cylindrical container attached to the hilt, which made his eyes widen in shock.
The unassuming box started to radiate an ethereal glow, casting an eerie light on the scene before him.
*BUP*
In an instant, the small, cylinder-shaped container exploded in a blinding flash of white light that engulfed both Alecra and Geralt. The brightness was like a powerful flashbang; it totally blocked their vision and made them feel like they were in a world of blinding white light.
High above the expanse of the sky, Aizel descended with awe-inspiring speed, his entire form shrouded in crackling bolts of lightning that danced around him.
*CRACKLE*
In his hands, Sekki, his spirit weapon, changed into an enormous hammer that got bigger with every second that passed.
Its weight and presence could be felt, giving off an air of pure power and a sense of what was about to happen.
"SEKKIIII IT'S TIME TO TEACH THEM A LESSON"
[HOW DARE THEY FUCKING ASKED ABOUT SHELLY AND DAISY]
*BUZZZZZZ*
*CRACKLE*
The hammer in Aizel's grasp continued its remarkable growth, expanding to colossal proportions that defied imagination.
Aizel's proficiency with the new skill became more obvious as he expertly contained a swarm of small explosions within its intimidating shape.
Each explosion had the ability to cause a lot of damage, which was tightly held in the hammer's spellbinding embrace. With each wave of his power, he made sure that the explosive energy and the lightning crackling through the weapon were in sync.
*CRACKLE*
The hammer crackled and buzzed with an electric charge. Its very nature was a dangerous mix of fire held in check and lightning let loose.
Alecra and Geralt suddenly realized something, and their eyes were drawn up to see a sight that was different from what they had expected.
Aizel, his presence commanding and his intent unmistakable, descended upon them from the heavens above.
In his grasp, a colossal hammer stretched across the sky, its massive form casting an ominous shadow that seemed to engulf half the horizon.
"THORRRRR FURRYYY*
"Fuc...
*BOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMM*
The mighty hammer descended with an earth-shattering force, triggering a cataclysmic explosion that engulfed the battlefield in a tempest of fire and lightning.
A massive crater was blown out of the once-solid ground, and debris was hurled in every direction as a result of the explosion.
The expanding inferno surged with unstoppable fury, growing larger and more intense by the second.
Its fiery tendrils licked the air, casting an ominous glow that reached even the distant royal tents. The earth trembled beneath the onslaught, quivering in response to the overwhelming power unleashed upon it.
"Did you guys clearly see it?" The king asked.
The people who were there all let out a gasp, and their eyes widened in shock and awe. The tumultuous display unfolding before they had commanded their full attention.
Geralt and Alecra didn't have any idea how it happened, but here, every single one was a high-grade mage.
"How the fuck did you teach him War Goddess,"
"Monster...
"He literally played with both of them..
"He didn't even let them use their power...
"What were those small containers?" Are they magic artifacts?"
"No, that seems he has made by himself. But how?"
Vespara had a big grin as she shook her head proudly at the display of Aizel's plan and power.
"That red smoke seems to be made from Redzeg herb.
"It can disrupt the mana senses along with burning and itchiness. And on top of that, he smartly used Ledium grass with a little bit of fire spark to create a blinding effect.
"It seems you might have helped him with this Vespara," Madam Evergreen explained as she looked towards Vespara.
"I only explained the different herbs and plant's effects.
"In what way they can be useful and their symptoms in brewing potion. He made all those with the help of that information." Vespara replied.
"Genius," Madam Evergreen said, nodding in appreciation.
"The way he used fire to propel himself into the sky was great too," Raigun said.
"But that spirit weapon of his. It can definitely rival a magic artifact," Xavior said.
"Now do you guys get why I see him as the next War god? Just imagine how he will be when he advances to a high-grade mage.
"Unleashing him on the turf of Theodora Kingdom will be quite a spectacle to see, don't you agree?" The King asked with a smile.
"Absolutely, ahahaha I can't wait to fight alongside him. When are we attacking then, King?" Yongiri asked.
"Idiot," Raigun said, shaking his head with a sigh.
"So are we going to ignore the fact that he literally obliterated both of them even though it was not a death battle?" Raigun asked.
"What's the point of giving importance to the losers? The head of the Eudora family made a fool out of himself.
"And their remaining family members' status will get revoked now that young War God has won," Elric replied.
Zareena's face turned into a mix of disgust and anger as she watched Aizel walk back to the tent.
Her lips pursed tightly, forming a thin line, while her brows furrowed in a display of displeasure. Her gaze remained fixed on Aizel, her disdain was evident in the sharpness of her gaze.
He did use my technique. He just changed it with the fire and explosion. How can he do that in such a short time," The more she thought, the more she started to hate Aizel.
[Fufu, how do you like it now, bitch?]
