Each step he took.
Was trailed by bone-piercing cold surging in all directions.
Like a winter tempest sweeping the earth, chill to the marrow.
"Mortals.
You will, in the end, be devoured by this Ice Seal of order!"
Suddenly.
He raised the heavy warhammer and smashed it savagely against the pedestal seal.
Triggering a violent explosion.
Marble dust spattered and scattered, laced with flashing Lightning.
The exploration team members all scrambled to evade.
A few were thrown by the shockwave and crashed down.
Pain twisted their faces, yet in their eyes burned a fire of grim resolve—
For even in fragments, the Holy Scripture.
Still bore their one and only hope!
Reina crouched beside the pillar's root.
She lightly touched the surface of the Holy Artifact's broken face.
Upon it, star-engraved Runes faintly flowed.
"As long as we piece it together.
We can awaken the true power."
Tears mingled with sweat as they slid down her cheeks.
