The colossal hall changed instantly the moment Korthan moved even a fraction of his massive body. air, once merely warm, now turned into blazing heat. black stone pillars around them cracked, glowing red as though magma beneath the surface responded to their master's fury.
Sylvia stood at the very front, unmoving, her calm gaze fixed on the God of War.
But all around them…
Pressure fell like a meteor.
The moment Korthan took a single step forward, the sound of molten metal and roaring lava fused into one. A wave of heat slammed across the hall like a windless storm of pure power emanating from his form.
Alicia instinctively raised a soul barrier. Stacia sharpened her gaze, bending the flow of time around them so the heat wouldn't scorch their skin. Sofia radiated soft white light that neutralized part of the aggressive flames.
The little Treant on Sylvia's head squirmed miserably, his small branches drooping like he was about to wilt.
"Plop…"
(Hot… too hot…)
