"No!" Veronica cried out again.
Her shouts did nothing to alter the situation.
In the sky, the hammer formed of lightning continued its relentless descent towards Ethan, accompanied by Victor's taunting voice.
"Boy, you're nothing but an insignificant worm, yet you dared to challenge me!"

Boom!
The earth trembled as if an earthquake had occurred.
The ruins outside Stone Rock Harbor suffered another calamity.
The already damaged walls collapsed entirely, and some bricks turned to dust under the impact of the lightning hammer.
Such was its terrifying power.
Staring blankly at the horrifying scene before her, Veronica, before she could even express her grief, was blown away by the shockwave produced by the hammer's impact.
She crashed heavily into a wall, blood spewing from her mouth.
