The sky itself seemed to weep as the demon's wrath raged unchecked. Thunderous booms echoed through the air, drowning out the anguished cries of the doomed and the desperate. The very fabric of existence trembled beneath the weight of such unholy power, bowing before the sheer malevolence of the demon's destructive power.After witnessing how the demon was able to release his Growth Limiter, fear gripped their hearts like a vice, each beat echoing the terror that coursed through their veins at the sight of such unbridled fury.Growth Limiter Release is a supreme technique and considered as the pinnacle of Magicore.
