BOOOOM!
A thunderous explosion ripped through the sky and earth. The runes flickered once—then went completely dark. Two massive boulders shattered into dust, and the entire rune-etched Ritual Array trembled violently, on the verge of collapse.
Ethan, still in his Blood Rite state, was an unstoppable force of destruction. His power was overwhelming—nothing could withstand it.
"Looks like its consciousness isn't here..." Ethan muttered, eyes blazing. Without missing a beat, he swung his fist back and smashed another boulder into rubble.
The Ritual Array buckled even more, over half of it already in ruins.
With the binding force weakening, Ethan tore through the remaining stones like a rampaging beast. His movements were so fast they blurred from sight, each strike unleashing waves of raw, annihilating energy. The very air trembled around him, as if the heavens themselves were about to collapse.
The scene was nothing short of apocalyptic.
