The gasps of ten million stunned spectators resounded throughout the stadium at the shocking sight of Ishnai exploding from within. Then there was silence, as no one knew what to do or say in the moment, as the turn of events was too sudden and too shocking to process quickly.
Ishnai, the number one genius of the Mage-Dao Sect, and one of the most talented to ever come from the sect, had perished. Tens of millions of eyes stared at the Mage-Sovereign, who stood motionless in the arena, the blood and viscera of Ishnai splattered all around her.
The Mage-Sovereign remained silent and motionless for what felt like an eternity to everyone. She then waved her hand, using her power to collect every bit of Ishnai's remains, most likely for some sort of burial later. Then she turned around to face John, an action that caused everyone to hold their breaths.
