Even though Ai Hui’s [Dust Fall] was much weaker than the one from the Battle of Long Street’s, its intimidation factor to the blood elementalists was much stronger. These blood elementalists were still casualties from the quarantine barracks then, so they had not witnessed what had happened during the Battle of Long Street.
Lightning was a natural bane to blood elementalists, striking fear in them. The arrogance derived from the sharp increase in their fighting capabilities had received an enormous blow. This had at least calmed the chaotic Central Pine City, boosting everyone’s moral. Even though there were daily casualties among the survivors in Central Pine City, nobody’s confidence wavered. They strongly believed that the time for victory would soon come.
This surging morale allowed them to drive the blood fiends out of Central Pine City once more.
