"Falling Stars!" Prolo Hawthorne shouted, and it was as if stars themselves fell from the heavens, crashing down with devastating force toward Chikx Thomas.
Chikx Thomas, not daring to underestimate the attack, quickly waved his hands, summoning an even stronger wave of dark energy to counter it.
Boom!
A deafening explosion rang out as the power of the falling stars collided with Chikx Thomas's dark energy, erupting in a blinding flash and a violent shockwave.
Taking advantage of the moment, Dean Bruce struck. The artifact in his hand transformed into a beam of light, shooting toward Chikx Thomas.
"Die!" Dean Bruce roared.
But just as the strike was about to land, Chikx Thomas suddenly vanished, leaving behind only an afterimage.
"Not good—it's an illusion!" Dean Bruce's heart skipped a beat. He quickly withdrew the artifact and warily scanned his surroundings.
