Chapter 268: A Fissure in Rovero

As the two forces of creation and nothingness collided, the mana began to grow volatile as it rose in tides and waves. A vacuum was created at the point of collision that made the mana condense around them until it threatened to explode. 

Mana explosions usually happen when space can't handle the mana that is condensed inside it. Like a balloon that bursts, the mana that results from this will decimate everything in its path. 

"Lilo, take Rae and flee!" Arthur shouted as his arms were lacerated by the waves of mana. This destructive energy was nothing that he had seen before, violent and keen on destruction. 

"I'm not leaving." Rae's scarf surrounded her body as it began morphing into armor. Arthur turned to face her with gritted teeth and she met his eyes. 

"This is not something you can handle! Your ability is useless against it!" He yelled at her. Rae looked at him with confusion that Arthur couldn't understand.
