The wind stopped, and the sounds fell silent!
The trees in the woods that were slightly swaying also froze at this moment, leaves fixed in space, unmoving. The bugs crawling and flying among the mud and vegetation also paused, some maintaining dynamic poses, others simply hanging mid-air. Even the pervasive dust was fixed in their respective places! A terrifying invisible airflow enveloped the entire world.
It was the same for nearly a thousand Ripple Masters; they still maintained their wildly rushing positions. Some leaped from walls, suspended in mid-air. Some were running close to the ground, their toes just touching down. Some had their arms raised, their Bone Rings lighting up. The expression on everyone's face was vivid, full of tension. But at this moment, they resembled statues or wax figures, lifelessly dull.
