The Rock Shark, sensing the thorn at its back, futilely tried to dodge. Its limited intelligence discerned that this was something lethal. But it was futile. The second explosion occurred, and the sky surged with rolling winds. After a violent tremor, the massive body of the Rock Shark began to plummet downwards.
Fang Hong felt as though he had been punched in the face. His head was dizzy, and it took him a while to comprehend what had happened. He couldn't see his own condition; in fact, blood was spurting from his nose and eyes, his appearance was terrifyingly gruesome.
He realized he had still underestimated the impact of the explosion on the Core Crystal. The Fire Giants were a special type of Clockwork Fairy, but he was not. Even if he severed the connection with the crystal at the first moment, he couldn't avoid the backlash affecting his spirit world.
That sensation was indescribable.
