The explosion was a cataclysmic event, its force felt for miles across the battlefield. The entire landscape trembled, and the sky was consumed by a blinding light that seemed to tear apart the very fabric of reality. For a moment, the world held its breath, as if time itself had paused to witness the monumental clash between Alex and Shona.
In the distance, Lyra was kneeling beside Yuki's lifeless body, her hands trembling as she tried to come to terms with the loss. The two women, both warriors and wives, had shared so much together. But now, as Lyra looked up from Yuki's body, her eyes caught sight of the massive explosion on the horizon. Her heart skipped a beat as she whispered, "Alex…"
Thrain, standing a short distance away, watched the explosion with a mixture of awe and dread. His old heart pounded in his chest, the battle-worn wizard understanding the magnitude of what had just transpired. "Alex did it," he murmured, almost in disbelief. "He defeated Shona."
