Hoshigaoka City,
Malakor Harrington watched from a far distance as Hoshigaoka City got burned to the ground. Despite killing so many people, he showed no sign of remorse or regret.
The walls that once protected the city had already collapsed in many places and were now engulfed in flames. This destruction was the result of a special type of exploding rune created by Aditya.
He had compressed Crimson Flames into rune formations and sealed them inside specially prepared metal plates. Once a single rune was activated, it would trigger the nearest rune, which would then activate the next one, creating a devastating chain reaction of explosions.
Each explosion carried enough destructive power to instantly kill most 5th-order cultivators caught within the blast radius. Even Beginner 6th-order cultivators would not emerge unscathed if they were too close to the detonation.
