The silver needle tore a path through space, vanishing from the naked eye. In fact, even with his pupils, Ryu almost lost track of it, its blazing speed beyond anything Ryu had ever experienced before.
The result, however, seemed completely anti-climactic. It tore into the face of a mountain's wall and completely vanished. For a moment, nothing at all happened. As though a drop into the middle of an ocean, there was hardly even the slightest rippled. But… That was only for a moment.
With a flick of Ryu's fingers, the needle came to a grinding halt and shot backward. In the blink of an eye, it hovered above his fingers buzzing with a slight hum. And then…
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The entire mountain range crumbled from the inside out. Pillars of sparking lightning shot into the skies and out in every which direction, piercing into the earth and eradicating everything for hundreds of miles.
