The shock in the air was palpable, endless.
Gideon's massive figure shot skyward like a missile, but not a single person present cared to follow his ascent.
Every eye was locked on the source of the devastation— a boy whose body blazed as bright as the sun, radiating an aura of unimaginable heat.
Anastasia was speechless. Despite everything happening, her mind was surprisingly blank. The same could be said for Arya.
In just two years without seeing him, Atticus had grown this powerful? The most baffling fact was that he was currently stronger than them!
Only Freya remained somewhat calm as Anastasia supported her. Her body appeared frail, with many more wrinkles marking her face.
But she still forced herself to watch. Unlike the others, Magnus had regularly informed her about Atticus's progress, so she had an idea of his capabilities.
Even so, not even she expected this, so the reactions of Anastasia and Arya— who hadn't known anything at all— were understandable.
