A massive wave of energy had shot out from the large ball of condensed purple and green energy in Hex's hands, straight towards the old man.
An earth-shattering explosion resounded.
The purple and green energy combined into one large wave of destruction that spread out like a cone.
A massive pit had formed before Hex. A nearby tree creaked a little before snapping off, then tumbled down the pit.
There was no trace of the old man within.
"Your insolence has gone too far."
But that was because he dodged.
The old man appeared several meters high up into the sky, as though there was some invisible flat ground he was standing on. Not even a second before the purple and green energy reached him, his figure distorted, allowing him to escape the blast radius.
Hex looked up to the old man.
"Me is stronger."
The old man responded with an empty smile.
"You seem rather certain, despite speaking such foolish words."
