Ethereal Ascendance: A Journey of Transformation(1-3VOL)

Vol 3/Chapter 81: Impact

"Why are you wrapping your wings around your body? Are there male light elves below?"

Elara looked confused by my words, but her attention was not focused too much on these questions. Instead, she asked me again.

"What did you guys throw out just now? A magical array? That explosion was too terrifying, it makes forbidden spells look like child's play in comparison!"

"This is hard to explain..."

I scratched my head, avoiding her gaze as I replied.

"Overall, it was a kind of large-scale destructive weapon that Reed and Nicola created together. The magical array was just a small part included in it..."

"Large-scale? Destructive? Weapon?"

Elara looked back at the mushroom cloud that was almost dissipated, seeming to understand the meaning of these words a little.

After all, the power of a nuclear explosion is enormous. Looking at the distant forest that had been razed to the ground from here as survivors, the only phrase that could describe it was 'shocking'.

With the base of the mushroom cloud at the center, the areas within a radius of nearly ten kilometres were affected, including the city within this range.

Luckily, the city was located right at the edge, so apart from the taller buildings like the landing platform at the top of the Tivi Palace...the damage was not too severe overall.

As for the regions a bit closer to the explosion center, they could only be described as "Hell". The further in towards the center, the more severe the damage to the trees.

The trees first just fell over, then gradually turned into burnt and carbonized states as you moved closer to the center...By the inner ring, you basically couldn't make out any details - because everything in sight was just charred black, and in the most severely affected areas around the mushroom cloud's base, you could vaguely make out flickering red shadows.

I guessed that the forest maze near the explosion center had probably turned into a lava sea by now.

"Too scary! If you hadn't given me a warning, I could have been seriously injured. But even so, the shockwave from the explosion was too strong, I couldn't keep holding onto Cyra midway, so we got blown apart..."

Saying this, Elara pointed in a direction.

"Based on the possible falling range, I couldn't have landed too far from Cyra. And I know the direction she got blown away in, it should be over here..."

It was impressive that she could still discern the direction they fell in. Not like me who had my eyes shut the whole time - it was like going on a rollercoaster ride.

"But this area is all forest too. There's no way the two of us keep searching in there, right?"

Looking at the sea of trees before us, I suddenly felt finding Cyra in a short time would be nearly impossible.

"No problem. I know there's a light elves settlement around here. We can go ask them for help."

Elara seemed to know what she was doing, flying off in front as she finished speaking.

"Then let's hurry back to the city after! I'm very worried about the situation there, plus there's still lots of problems like the monster invasion left unresolved."

"But..."

I looked back again at the mushroom cloud, hesitating to speak further. I felt we should confirm if Michelle was dead or alive first right? But then I thought that with an explosion on this scale, if she didn't have any warning, the chances of her surviving were low. Elara probably took that for granted too.
