A dangerous smile formed on Elio's face while contemplating the acid-saturated battlefield.
If Lucien could turn the terrain into his weapon, he could convert it into his destruction.
The winged salamander roared, but this time it wasn't wind that emanated from it. Sacred fire expanded in a devastating wave, finding the volatile hydrogen fluoride clouds.
The reaction was instantaneous and catastrophic.
The air itself seemed to ignite. Lucien barely had time to create an interwoven barrier of carbon and steel around his body.
Even so, the explosion reached him, tearing away precious resistance points.
They were tied 1 to 1 now.
Elio, now charged with his complete mana, descended like a meteor toward his mentor. But Lucien hadn't survived so long by being predictable; the air beneath Elio transformed into an explosive column.
Lucien had used his frog to create a direct explosion now, combining hydrogen fluoride with water.
Hey everyone!
And thus, we reach the end of Volume 2 of Utopian System. After the intense battle against Arterro, I decided to close this part of our story with something different: a moment of peace where our warriors can create instead of destroy. Seeing the city transforming, just like its inhabitants, felt like the perfect way to close this cycle.
Now that Lucien has helped us better understand the group's full strength, it’s time to renew the march. The future of humanity and the expansion of the city depend on it.
Volume 3 will begin with Chapter 333 (because we have to keep it stylish, right?), and I promise the challenges ahead will test our characters like never before. Though for now, let's let them enjoy planting some trees. They're going to need it.
Thank you for joining me on this journey. Your reactions, theories, and the enthusiasm you show for these characters make it all worthwhile. And if you think you've seen everything Utopian System has to offer... we're just getting started.
See you at 333!
