Whoom!
Six purple-red columns of fire rose one after another, piercing straight into the sky.
The low, gloomy clouds were tinged with a faint purple hue, churning continuously.
An intense wave of fire energy converged towards the center, leaving everyone at the valley feeling oppressed.
As a bright flash erupted, the world seemed to lose all color, with only blinding red glares remaining. After a moment, smoke mixed with purple-red flames slowly rose, forming a miniature mushroom cloud.
"Get down!"
No sooner had the words landed when the ground began to tremble slightly, loose stones bouncing up and down, and a deafening roar followed.
The shockwave generated by the explosion spread outward, with various pieces of rock and ice raining down. Fortunately, the valley's natural barrier protected the research team from being blown away by the blast; otherwise, being hit by flying debris would have been the least of their problems.
