The explosion echoed through the air, the force of it causing shockwaves that rippled across the landscape. The once-secluded house was now a smoldering ruin, it remains a testament to the unexpected turn of events.
Most of the house had been blown away right after the explosion, pieces of it falling on houses that were nearby, some landing straight through the walls or roof and killing the people living inside.
Lyle, now safely perched on the rooftop, observed the aftermath with a stoic expression. He didn't want to do such a thing, but Iodel had left him no choice. With so many enemies present, even if he went all out and used his final transformation, victory was not certain, and Lyle was not going to play along with Iodel.
The smoke billowed into the sky, blending with the darkening shadows of the approaching night. The invisibility barrier was still up, and it made sure that nobody would notice a thing, even now.
