Apophis raised his arms and the black mist vanished, only to be replaced by a strange glow.
The players facing him felt a strange sensation throughout their bodies. Bits of earth began to float as though gravity had reversed—
And then Zelda's men began to rise as well!
In a split second, Zelda realized what this must be! The ~Telekinesis~ skill from the Esper tree, though far more powerful than she'd ever seen it before! Apophis was attacking them while hardly lifting a finger!
Most of the Hyrule players reacted by activating protection and dispelling skills, but many were too slow.
Apophis clenched his fists, and those players exploded into red mist.
But no sooner had the remaining players freed themselves than they fell back down into a pool of gleaming black water, still reeling from the shock of seeing their comrades die like common insects.
They understood much too late that it was another of Apophis's Esper skills.
