Fwoosh.

Above the remnants of the massive hole in the glacier, heat shimmered in the air.

Blue flames swayed and flickered in the wind, their heat and smoke mingling with the swirling snowstorm, asserting their overwhelming presence.

The scene was breathtaking.

While it wasn’t a towering mountain, the sight of a glacier’s summit blown off with a single strike was indescribable.

And there I stood, staring at the glacier in sheer bewilderment.

“What the hell…”

I muttered, looking at the aftermath of my actions with a dumbfounded expression.

“What is that?”

With just a casual swing of my fist, the glacier had ended up in that state.

Frantically, I examined my hand.

There was nothing unusual about it.

Despite the energy I’d unleashed, no signs remained on my hand.

‘What the hell is this…?’

I couldn’t understand.

What was that strike just now?

Was it really something I did?

I hadn’t had the energy, nor the stance to launch a proper attack.

It was a desperate, flailing swing meant simply to survive—nothing more.

‘…Yet it created that?’

It wasn’t impossible to achieve such destruction.

‘But I didn’t even use my inner energy.’

That last attack was powered by nothing more than a sliver of energy—a pitiful remnant.

How could such devastation come from that?

Suddenly—

“…!”

My legs gave out, and I stumbled.

I barely managed to steady myself, avoiding a complete collapse.

Eeeeeee—!

A sharp ringing filled my ears.
