Following the strategic plan, Vahn headed to a vast, open plain ground located under the clear, open sky of the floating island. He chose the spot specifically to avoid collateral damage to the Stone Monkey tribe and to face the inevitable Heavenly Tribulation head-on without hindrance.
Seraphina and the yellow monkeys watched from a cautious distance, curiosity and anxiety warring on their faces. Seraphina knew the devastating power of a Tribulation; even with her supreme Light Arts, she wouldn't be able to intervene without risking her own life and potentially escalating the Tribulation's wrath. Vahn would have to face this alone.
He sat down cross-legged on the bare earth, settling his mind. The terrifying Nuclear Dragon Sword rested horizontally by his side, its dark metal pulsing faintly in anticipation.
