The ground shattered inch by inch and spread outwards in a fan shape, at which point a loud 'boom' resounded.
Both of them, including the shadow assassin, were attacked in an instant.
The shadow assassin's body flashed with a black light and emitted a 'pop' sound as the shadow shield cracked in response, and the shadow instantly dissipated like smoke.
Wexman, too, was struck by a backlash, his body stiffening again, but luckily, a flash of black light on him formed a thin black membrane that absorbed most of the damage from the multiple shocks.
However, the shock's power was immense, collapsing the wall behind Wexman as well, and for a moment, the shrill sound of the alert witchcraft array echoed as footsteps of various intensities started nearby.
Then, a muffled groan was heard as Trevo and the others who were coming to support seemed to be hit by some kind of attack and restrained.
