A world of ruins

Chapter 71: A World in Ruins 

The battlefield was not even recognizable again. 

The land had been shattered, deep cracks were running through the earth like some veins of destruction. 

The sky was broken, lightning some streaking through crimson coloured clouds. The very place felt really wrong, as if reality itself was struggling to hold together. 

And at the center of it all was Lucia. 

She was standing in the ruins, not moving, golden energy was still crackling and burning around her body. Her eyes were burning with some unnatural light, the sheer force of her power was making the air of the place to vibrate. 

But she was not there. She was not Lucia anymore. 

Kain felt it before he even took a step towards her. 

Something was wrong. It was terribly and badly wrong. 

He moved very fast, dodging the fallen debris as he ran towards her. 

"Lucia!"

She did not respond, she did not even blink.
