The destructive beam reverberated a rhythmic sizzling sound as it created a large canyon across the Kalahatra Desert before Ruvva stopped releasing any more of it.
"Gah!" Most of the trunk of Ruvva's Empyrean Tusk form melted, unable to form a barrel strong enough to contain and focus the destructive beam. She hurriedly reverted to human form and collapsed on the ground in exhaustion.
"What the heck was that?" Gannala shouted as she flickered before Ruvva and grabbed the latter by the neck to prop up in anger, "You shouldn't have been able to unleash something like that."
"Turns out, I can. It's just…" A thin trail of blood trickled down her nose as Ruvva grinned, "The toll is a bit too much for the current me. If I had been at the Life Stage, you would have lost a life from that exchange."
