Outside Emerald Castle—
Raimondrex had collided head-on with Narlost's army.
The clash unleashed a storm of raw power that exploded across the sky, shaking the heavens and earth with every impact.
From the highest point on the castle wall, Ethan stood watching it all unfold. Every surge of energy on the battlefield was crystal clear from where he stood.
The system interface unfolded in front of his eyes, data points flickering like stars, constantly shifting and reassembling.
From a tactical overview—
Raimondrex and the Narlost forces were locked in a precarious balance.
If either side faltered for even a moment, they'd be swallowed whole by the other.
But if both sides kept pouring everything they had into this slugfest, the only outcome would be mutual destruction.
Ethan clenched his fists without realizing it.
Right now, the only thing he could do was pray—
That neither side would back down.
Then it happened.
