Although he knew Arctic was strong, the exact extent of that strength remained a mystery. That lingering uncertainty gnawed at him, filling Damien with a strange anticipation. He couldn't help but wait, eyes fixed on the scene, heart pulsing a little quicker than usual.
Then, without warning, a stream of information surged into his mind—sharp, cryptic fragments that demanded focus. But before he could make sense of it all, Arctic's fist blurred through the air.
Boom!
The sound resembled a cannonball colliding with a steel fortress. A deep, thunderous shockwave erupted as Arctic's punch struck the massive pillar. The sheer force caused the air itself to ripple, distorting the surroundings in a brief wave of pressured silence. Dust trembled, and the ground quivered ever so slightly under Damien's feet.
But the pillar?
It didn't even flinch.
Not a scratch. Not a dent. Not even a faint tremor.
