A magical bird seemed to drop down from the sky as the Sand Bomb hit the ground of sand. The impact was enormous as the gigantic Sand Shield that Marokh had molded was crushed to dust, causing the damage to be inflicted.
Not everyone was hit, but even so, the area of effect was around fifty meters, enough for Raya and Yara, as well as Celine, to be engulfed by the blast. But with the two S rank's power, the blast of the Sand Bomb never did anything to them as a barrier appeared from their body. It's the same case with the others as Raya interfered at the last second to mitigate the damage of the ancient weapon because if she didn't, they would die in the Tower, and dying in the Tower only meant one thing — Failure Penalty.
The initial plan was commendable; weakening the sand cannon blast, and finding the opportunity to strike closer. But they didn't account for the other arsenal of the ancient weapon, causing the current predicament to happen.
