Thunderous explosions rocked the mountain so violently that cracks ripped through the stone beneath their feet. The moment the black wave swallowed the Thunder Dragon warriors, a terrifying force slammed into them and stopped their charge dead.
The first few to collide with it felt as though they had rammed straight into an invisible wall. Their bodies froze for a single instant, wings snapping wide, spears trembling in their hands, and then the wave blasted them backward. Blood burst from mouths, armor bent inward, and chunks of mana were torn from them as if the black force was devouring pieces of their very existence.
Some warriors were hurled through others like broken dolls. Some smashed into the mountain and slid down in trails of blood. Others hit the ground so hard that stone burst beneath them.
