Klaus barely had time to brace himself when the flame orb exploded. The sound was deafening like thunder splitting the sky apart. The ground shook violently beneath his feet, nearly knocking him over.
A massive wave of heat rushed toward him, so intense it felt like his skin might burn away. Klaus stumbled back, shielding his face with his arm as the world around him turned red and orange from the flames. The explosion was far bigger than he expected, far more chaotic than he could have imagined.
The blast spread out like a tidal wave of fire, swallowing everything in its path. Monsters in the immediate area were obliterated instantly, their bodies disintegrating into ash before they even had time to react. Those further away were caught in the flames as the fire expanded, their pained roars cut short by the sheer force of the detonation.
