"Boom!"
The roar interrupted the idle chat among the few Upper House Members under the moonlight atop the tower.
Under the celestial lantern.
Behemoth lifted its two massive forelimbs, clenched its fists, roared angrily, and slammed down with force. Standing at the top of the tower, one could clearly see a ring of pitch-black earth waves, like a sandstorm, spreading in all directions with the Giant Beast as the center.
The sand and stones splattered up from the ground, resembling cannonballs, soared into the sky with a whooshing sound. Hundreds of celestial lanterns couldn't dodge in time and were pierced by the grains of sand, turning into dazzling fireballs mid-air.
After light comes darkness, more striking.
Losing hundreds of celestial lanterns, the contrast of brightness and darkness, coupled with the pervasive black dust storm, cast a thick shadow over the once clear and bright battlefield, making it indistinct.
"Crack!!"
