Ethan's pupils tightened slightly.
Tier 32.
That was beyond the vast majority of lifeforms—
a true apex existence in this world.
Thalorien's voice dropped, heavy.
"Raezion…"
Just the name made the water feel denser.
Raezion didn't even look at him.
His gaze locked straight onto Caelion.
Thunder spread beneath his feet.
"I came for him."
His voice carried a naked, domineering will.
"In this world—"
He lifted a hand slowly.
The lightning answered, turning violent.
"—there can only be one Thunder Messenger."
His eyes went cold.
"And that is me."
The sea seemed to freeze.
No one dared speak.
"All existences who hold Thunder power—"
He paused.
Lightning shrieked with a harsh, tearing roar.
"—must disappear."
The instant the words fell—
Caelion moved.
No anger.
No argument.
Only thunder.
He shot into the sky.
Raezion vanished at the same time.
The next second—
BOOM!!!
Two storms collided head-on.
The shockwave ripped through the sea.
