The arrival of the petite mage Fei'er as a half-step Tier 7 powerhouse shocks the attending factions, further proving Leo Ray's surprising strength. As the tension escalates, Kira of the Stone Giant Clan attempts to overwhelm Fei'er with massive lightning attacks, only for the latter to neutralize her efforts with ease. After demonstrating superior mastery over lightning magic, Fei'er manages to blast Kira back, forcing the giant to reveal her true, more formidable form to continue the challenge.

A female Stone Giant stood cloaked in a chilling aura, her stone-gray features twisted into a hideous display of malice.

Her massive Magic Robe shimmered with an intense purple light, while faint peals of thunder groaned above her. Once again, dark, heavy clouds roiled overhead, resembling a suspended, tumultuous sea.

“It is the Grand Elder’s true form!”

Observing figures among the Stone Giant warriors cried out in alarm.

Years ago, after chancing upon a Transforming Magic Potion, both Clan Leader Lila and Grand Elder Kira had adopted the Human Clan appearance for their daily affairs, reserving their true forms only for internal rituals and traditional gatherings.

The only previous instance Grand Elder Kira had revealed her true self outside of those events was during the war against the Half-Titan Clan. Back then, a Stone Giant legion had been nearly annihilated, a defeat that sent the reinforcements under Kira into a frenzy. She had retaliated throughout the night, completely reversing the tide of battle.

It was that night that Grand Elder Kira unleashed a devastating, unstoppable Thunder Magic Attack, reducing an entire Half-Titan Fortress to rubble. This act earned her the infamous title of “Destructive Elder,” a moniker that struck fear even into the hearts of the Half-Titans.

Thus, both the Stone Giants and the members of the Half-Titan Clan clearly understood that after the strike from that petite human warrior, Grand Elder Kira had been driven into an absolute, murderous rage.

Within the crowd, Lila’s expression settled back into a mask of composure, her eyes narrowing as she studied the combatants closely.

Kira could only harness her full potential while in her true form; she was incomparable to her Human Clan guise, empowered by various forbidden secret techniques inherent to the robust Stone Giant physiology. With her going all out, that mysterious human would undoubtedly face a dire predicament.

In this state, even if two Half-step Tier 7 experts joined forces, they would struggle to gain a foothold!

Sensing the oppressive energy radiating from the Grand Elder, the strongmen aligned with our side grew intensely anxious, casting worried glances toward the center of the conflict.

Fei’er was making her public debut, remaining remarkably low-key as she guarded silently behind Leo Ray. Consequently, nobody knew her background, let alone the true extent of her power.

Still, it was undeniably clear that the Grand Elder’s strength had reached a terrifying zenith!

Even Administrator I appeared visibly shaken, ordering his underlings to divert all backup energy within the marketplace to reinforce every Defensive Barrier to its peak capacity. If he failed, the sheer force of Kira’s power might easily leave the entire district in ashes.

“Human Clan, do not revel in your arrogance just because you wield that strange silver Thunder Light—allow me to demonstrate the true fury of a Stone Giant!”

Kira’s voice boomed like a crack of thunder. Her Magic Wand wove through the air, tracing hundreds of lines and instantly manifesting over a hundred massive purple Magic Arrays, each pulsing with lethal intent.

Deep, complex Thunder Magic Arrays swirled and hummed in the atmosphere. The bubbling resonance of Thunder Fluid rose and fell, forcing the onlookers to hold their breath, terrified to make a sound.

Those Stone Giant warriors who had witnessed Kira’s previous rampage swallowed hard. This was the exact spell that had leveled a fortress.

Though the Grand Elder had intentionally suppressed the scale of the magic this time, its capacity for destruction remained absolute.

Should they be caught in any part of its blast, they would surely be reduced to dust in an instant.

Faced with such overwhelming aggression, Fei’er remained entirely serene. She tapped her Magic Wand lightly against the air, sketching a series of enigmatic Magic Runes.

Yet, when weighed against Kira’s formidable momentum, her efforts appeared insignificant.

To the spectators, it looked as though she had simply stopped resisting.

Many began to pity Fei’er, hoping only that the petite human warrior might meet her end with some measure of dignity.

“Human Clan, do not despair, for I shall leave you with one final breath!”

Kira’s gray, massive face was bathed in the violet glow of her arrays, looking grotesque and terrifying as she shrieked: “Catastrophe of Fierce Thunder!”

As her command echoed, the purple Magic Arrays erupted in brilliant luminescence. A tidal wave of thunderbolts surged forward like a sea of lightning, rushing toward Fei’er with crushing weight.

In a heartbeat, the Banquet Hall was swallowed by thunderous vibrations and the rolling, volatile Thunder Fluid. Its intensity eclipsed the other battles, leaving every observer filled with palpitations and dread.

As the destructive wave of thunder descended upon her, the Magic Runes Fei’er had sketched suddenly surged, expanding into a dazzling, silver minefield that hung like a wall, eclipsing the incoming thunder.

Then, a spectacle that was both impossible and strangely familiar took hold.

The unstoppable thunder-wave shattered the moment it breached the thin silver minefield, dissolving into wisps of black smoke that floated uselessly away.

Until every last glimmer of the thunder-wave had been extinguished by the silver expanse, the hall remained in a state of deathly silence.

Pairs of wide, startled eyes were fixed upon the petite, refined Fei’er as if she were some kind of monster, filled with shock and disbelief. Never had they imagined that such a terrifying powerhouse resided under the banner of the Emperor of the Human Race!
