Rumble, rumble, rumble!
Not far from the secret lake, a dazzling burst of light erupted without warning.
A tiny sun rose slowly into the sky—so bright that even the trees and boulders nearby were vaporized into gas!
In the blink of an eye, the titan awakeners who had fled earlier were incinerated so completely that not even ash remained.
The ordinary adventurers in the area saw the scene and instantly went numb with terror, their scalps tingling.
"Are you kidding me? Who the hell is using an Awakening Skill out in the wild?!"
"Shh—keep your voice down! You want some big shot to notice you?!"
"Why does this skill feel… familiar? Don't you guys remember what happened outside the city earlier…"
…
Caelan didn't spare them a glance.
Across from him, Ruben's expression darkened by the second. Caelan merely snapped his fingers lightly and said, almost casually:
"Seems my summon is a bit stronger than your underlings. Don't you agree?"
