Powerful ripples of ethereal energy shattered the air around Ruthren the moment he was struck by the three ethereal energy attacks.
The people felt as if the skies were trembling and about to fall down on them, and those who were still on the streets ran for their lives since the ripples were powerful enough to even cause cracks on the ground despite the battle taking place very high in the sky.
Even the weaker experts who were flying beside Ruthren before got blasted away like a kite, most of them ending up in a near-death state as they crashed down on the ground.
As for the other few powerful experts, they quickly flew in the opposite direction, towards the ground, to take cover. But even then, they weren't fast enough to fully protect themselves from the shockwaves and suffered few internal injuries.
