章 149: Irine (3)

Xasha watched everything unfold, almost from a bird's-eye view. He had withdrawn several miles to escape the blast from the explosion. His robes danced violently as the tailwind from the shockwaves assaulted his body.

Irine also retreated from the shockwaves, bringing the fight to a premature end. She observed the various battlefields and realized that most of the fighting concluded. Falling Stardust had washed away the Kou Collective in this battle. Most people stood watching the remnants, putting up their last bit of resistance. 

Verra and Eloise were facing the lords. While Ryan, Melody, Bruce, and others were cleaning up the last of the Elders and patriarchs. The Kou Collective, a power that ruled over Estia for an eon, had fallen. Irine couldn't stop her emotions from boiling over. Silent tears stained her cheeks as she observed the mountains of dead bodies littering the ground of a ruined city.
