A mushroom cloud rose into the air surpassing 40,000 feet (12+ kilometers) in a matter of seconds.
Earthquakes and tremors could be felt hundreds of kilometers away even when the mushroom cloud could no longer be seen.
It was only after ten minutes that all the commotion slowly came to a stop and the talismans protecting Hao Xuan and the company broke apart.
The lights surrounding Han Rong and Zou Huan had all but dissipated allowing Hao Xuan to get a good look at them.
"You're from earlier...I was just thinking about that day," he mumbled with some doubt, not completely sure if this was actually happening or something his mind had just made up.
Han Rong was the first to fully regain his sense as he turned back to look at Hao Xuan and Sokol.
The entire right side of Hao Xuan's body was covered in pitch black burn marks and it looked like most of the muscle had somehow directly evaporated from under the skin. It was all but skin and bone barely hanging together.
