Like a metre that descends from the sky, the huge great sword which had caught fire due to friction of the atmosphere descended down with fierce momentum.
At the same time, a thin crimson line of fire seemed to join the earth and the sky appeared before a powerful explosion shook everything around a radius of a few kilometres.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
The ground shattered, and the trees were swept away, the beasts, humans and monsters who were at the centre of the impact were blown away and annihilated instantly.
A huge sphere of fiery red grew from a small luminous point. The degree of heat that emerged from it swallowed everything within a radius and the heat alone made the living being roast into pieces of ashes.
In just a few seconds a dome of fire reached about a hundred metres in length forming a huge mushroom-shaped cloud which burned everything into ash.
A magical barrier was formed a few kilometres away from it which shuddered at the shockwaves that collided with it seemingly destroying it and forming cracks.
The defenders who formed the barrier sweated profusely on thinking about the consequence if the barrier broke.
Alex's wives were quite far away and suddenly saw a huge oval-shaped dome which lit the entire place as if the sun had already risen.
Catherine's jaw dropped wide open seeing the scale of destruction caused by Alex's attack and Alex's words of going there to have fun resounded in her ears.
"Maniaccc!" She screamed with a panicked expression.
"Is this how he destroyed Amidon?" Catherine asked with a sceptical look.
"No!" Christina replied while shaking his head calming Catherine wildly beating heart but then she heard Christina's words which struck like thunder.
"If Alex used that attack, the entire forest would be annihilated. That attack has the strength to vaporise a whole city."
Catherine closed her mouth with her trembling hands. He knew that Alex was strong, yes insanely strong but this kind of firepower was really out of one's imagination which seemed to break the balance of power which exists.
Even after witnessing it with her own eyes, she wasn't able to believe it.
"Christina, how is this possible? Can one cast such an attack of mass devastation in Alex's rank?" Catherine asked in a trembling tone.
"Alex is a special case."
"Suppose, a swordsman can cut a hill with his sword whereas a mage can blow a mountain with his spells."
"Alex, who can do both, combines it."
"Alex's attack had an odd combination of magic and strength manipulation. First thing, Alex has great swordsman technique and his mastery over magic was enough to get him the title of the archmage."
"Combining these two he is unleashing an attack of wide over the rank. This isn't an impossible task but for this, a person had to have higher mastery in both swordsmanship and magic."
"Moreover, along with the time taken to master both, one needs to harmonize them perfectly otherwise the attack will become worthless."
"And as you know, no one till now was able to reach the top by walking on two paths," Christina muttered like an expert.
"Except him," Catherine spoke with a bitter smile.
"See, didn't I say our hubby is great?" Riya teased Catherine.
But contrary to his expectation, Catherine agreed with her words and nodded his head while staring at the scene with amazement, surprising Riya.
....
At the same time, a few moments before the explosion."
CLANG!CLANG!CLANG!CLANG!
A fierce battle was going on the other side of the forest.
Sparks flew all around forming bright flashes which disappeared in an instant followed by the clinking sound of the metal collision.
BANG!BANG!BANG!
Small shockwave waves created due to clashes started to smash the rocks and boulders to the side while destroying the trees.
Mordek was now engaging with the Demon masked man who was starting to panic as he wasn't able to inflict a single wound on Mordek.
The more he fought, the more he thought that something was amiss as even though he wasn't able to pierce through Mordek's defence, Mordek was also unable to inflict a single wound on him.
He was also a Master rank and his senses felt that Mordek was also at Master rank still he felt quite odd as he felt that Mordek was taking on him easily and seemed to be on a defensive stance.
As both of them engaged with one another, they heard a whistling noise of something coming down the sky
"Shiittt!" Both of them screamed at the same time and started to gain some distance but a strong shockwave hit them at the back throwing them off
Mordek, seeing the huge explosion, cried inwardly.
"Your Majesty, I am your loyal follower of yours so why do you want to kill me so much?"
Mordek ran toward the demon masked man while trying to protect himself from the aftermath of the explosion that shook the whole place.
As the explosion resided, there was no speck of vegetation left behind and the place which used to be a forest had turned into a barren land with dark brown soil which seemed to have burnt crisp.
A big crater was formed at the centre while many dried and burnt carcasses of enemies were left behind leaving behind a pungent smell
Sweeping away the trees and dust that seemed to lay on top of him, Demonsis was scared out of his wits and thought that he should run away as soon as possible otherwise he would die without any remains to put in the coffin.
But as he started to run, he found Mordek blocking his path and he tried to shake him away by attacking with all the strength he could muster.
But Mordek just casually swung his sword to deflect his attack.
With a panicked expression, he tried to run his mind to find a way to get past him and he was thrown to the ground, a sudden idea flashed in his mind.
He got up on his feet and attacked again but as Mordek deflected his attack, he turned his body and threw a handful of dust into his eyes.
"Aghh...Bastard!" Mordek screamed while rubbing his eyes.
