Wrapped around Northern's hammer was a strange, almost foggy-looking air.
Each time the lightning lashed out and passed through that air, it vanished completely within it.
Eleina had several speculations in her head, but none of them made sense enough to explain why that cold air erased the lightning, controlling its damage before it got the chance to vehemently fly around.
She saw that Northern indeed knew what he was doing with every shattering smash he slammed on the mineral.
However, the black stone only glinted more stubbornly, with blue sparks dancing around it.
'It doesn't look like it's going to give in.' Eleina folded her hands and watched with a rising tension in her heart.
It was like a contest of power. So far, both sides were unrelenting. Through watching Northern's effort in subduing the mineral, she had gone from being very sure that it was impossible to being hopeful that he would break it.
