"Ugh..." Merlin covered his face with both arms, peeking through a small gap between them.
Unfortunately, thick dust and smoke blocked his view, making it impossible to see anything in front of him.
A few moments later, the dust began to settle, and Merlin could finally see the scene before him—chaos.
The forest within a radius of hundreds of meters had been reduced to ashes, leaving behind a horrific sight.
The black-cloaked man had also vanished from view, most likely killed by Lyserra's devastating attack.
Whoosh!
Lyserra's massive body emitted a bright blue light before slowly shrinking.
Merlin quickly leaped from one side to the other and caught her falling body.
"Are you okay?" he asked worriedly.
Lyserra looked extremely weak, as if all her strength had been drained away.
"I'm fine..." she replied softly.
Merlin frowned. "If you're fine, why do you look so exhausted? All right, don't lie. Return to my consciousness to recover your strength."
