Each step he took sent a violent tremor through the earth, causing the very ground beneath Boden's feet to ripple and crack, like a pond disturbed by a heavy stone.

Every muscle tensed, every cell cried out, fueling his raw determination to confront the looming threat, "Yaargh! Your death will be a reward for the Egon Family," he roared, using his family's honor as a bolster to his courage.
With a swift motion, he swung his massive great sword, channeling all his mana into the blade.
