For a moment, everyone simply stared.
Cresty's jaw dropped.
Anthierin's eyes widened.
Flinn stood completely frozen.
The wild tendrils around them suddenly stopped moving.
Then, one after another, they began to crumble.
Their solid, terrifying forms broke apart into particles of light, dissolving back into the air as the Aether that had formed them returned to its natural state. The pressure that had filled the room disappeared just as quickly, leaving behind nothing but damaged walls, broken furniture, and the stunned silence of everyone who had just witnessed what Lexel had done.
Flinn stared at her unconscious sister.
Then at Lexel.
Then back at her sister.
"..."
Lexel casually lowered his hand.
"Problem solved."
The room remained silent.
Even the ground outside had stopped trembling.
