Bzzzzz!
The air violently vibrated, as in streaks of electric arc and fire, the drawn iron weapons twisted and fused under the terrifying electromagnetic force, melding into a massive iron ball.
Through the magic power perception within his body, Austin distinctly felt the thunder and lightning causing the invisible and untouchable magnetic field around to undergo drastic changes, and the rapidly changing magnetic field generating enormous currents in the metal iron ball, heating each piece of iron weapon red-hot, fusing the entire iron ball into one in a brief moment.
At the same time, thunder operated as he willed, and the glaring electric light intersected in the air to form a circle, suspending in the void in front of him, encasing the iron ball in the center.
Thunder Dragon Electromagnetic Cannon!
In an instant, the ground ten meters around him suddenly collapsed under the force of a tremendous power, and cobweb-like cracks spread rapidly, with Austin's entire body being pushed down by the invisible might.
The next moment,
Boom!!!
The heavens and earth changed color in an instant.
The iron ball burst out with a roar, transforming into a beam of yellow laser sweeping across, filling the sky with yellow radiance that shrouded the daylight, making the entire world seem to dim down, leaving only the blinding yellow light reigning between heaven and earth.
The beam seemed to pierce through space, arriving instantly in front of Grom.
At this moment, the grizzly bear leader Grom had just swung a Wolf Fang Club to blast away a few Dark Dragon Guards in front, only to have the beam of yellow laser thrust directly towards his face.
What?!!!
The light, more dazzling than gazing directly at the sun, filled every corner of his pupils, leaving Grom no time to react as his entire body was engulfed within the ocean of glaring light, and his consciousness sank utterly into darkness.
Rumble!!!
The pillar of light instantly penetrated through Grom's body, spanned across over a thousand meters of dense forest, and blasted onto a mountain peak with a thunderous roar.
Immediately, a cataclysmic explosion erupted, as if a massive sun rose on the distant horizon, with an orange glow inverted upon the earth, forming a gigantic mushroom column rising upward.
The colossal shock waves visible to the naked eye surged in waves spreading in all directions, seemingly ushering in a Category 12 storm, uprooting each massive ancient tree in its horrific gust, which were subsequently shredded into powder in the air by the gale.
The dreadful shock waves swept up a turbulent tsunami flood, with all present beastmen holding onto the ground desperately, their forms swaying amidst the waves, staring blankly at everything before them, unable to utter a word.
Where the beam of yellow laser passed, a gigantic rift had split the earth, with the soil and stones at the edges still glowing a dark red as if molten, and the trees and leaves along the way burnt to ashes.
The rift extended over a thousand meters, until reaching that distant mountain peak, which had already been blasted out with a massive gap, resembling an inverted crescent peak, from which wisps of smoke slowly rose.
"Hiss, this power...cough cough..."
The power of the Electromagnetic Cannon unleashed by employing thunder, even Austin couldn't help but gasp in shock.
But before he could reminisce about the feel of shooting that electromagnetic cannon, his entire body began to cough violently, with large mouthfuls of fresh blood spewing from the cracks in his shattered dragon scales, splattering on the ground, immediately dyeing the earth in a bloody hue.
The dragon blood resembled sulfuric acid, sizzling as it dripped to the ground, emitting plumes of white smoke, with all the remaining grass roots decaying en masse, though one or two resilient blades of grass managed to survive beneath the fiery blood.
At the moment, Austin had no mind to pay attention to these trivialities, feeling as if his body was on the verge of disintegration, with his massive form swaying, seemingly to topple over at any second.
He could distinctly feel it; his body was already suffering severe damage, with the force of that recent electromagnetic cannon certainly frighteningly strong, yet the backlash force also severely damaged his underdeveloped dragon body, nearly to the point of fracturing.
"In the future, I can't recklessly use this move."
Austin couldn't help but silently admonish himself; until his body can withstand this massive counterforce, it would be wiser to keep the electromagnetic cannon shelved, lest every use tears apart his body, and he might not be this fortunate next time.
Moreover, after annihilating Grom, there's likely not to be any significant threat for some time.
"There's still about a month before the cold winter season arrives. Given the mobilization abilities of the primitive Beastman Tribe, even if those from the Blood Claw Tribe headquarters get word and send reinforcements for revenge, it would take at least half a year; during that period, with the Natural Magic Crystal in the Spider Cave, it's enough to elevate my Power to another level. By then, what would I have to fear? Besides, it's uncertain whether the Blood Claw Tribe would even care much about a branch being wiped out."
Having forcefully slain the greatest threat Grom, while breaching the nearby Blood Claw Tribe Branch, eliminating potential threats completely, the Dragon Nest Tribe, with its center, would undoubtedly become the dominator within a radius of several dozen or even a hundred miles.
With the Magic Crystal within the Spider Cave, it would be enough for Austin to transform into a formidable Beastman army, coupled with the Breathing Technique, the future remains untold.
Nonetheless, those matters are for later.
For now, the priority is to pack up and return to the tribe.
"Vini, tidy things up, prepare to go back."
Calling the leading Kobold of the Dragon Nest Tribe, Vini, and enduring the collapsing body, Austin casually delegated the aftermath matters, soaring into the sky and flying away, enduring the pain within.
In this battle, the Dragon Nest Tribe suffered considerably, with a rough estimate of casualties possibly exceeding half.
But Austin had neither the time nor the inclination to scrutinize the Beastmen's casualties; avoiding collapsing at the scene and being ungracefully carried back to the Dragon Nest by the Dragon Nest Beastmen, seizing the last thread of strength within him to fly back alone was Austin's best choice now.
Despite the significant damage on the Dragon Nest Beastmen's side to eliminate that Blood Claw Tribe Branch, it's hard to say if it was worth it, but at least the potential crisis was dealt with, concerning his personal safety, which Austin remained very vigilant about.
As Austin went further away, underneath the ruins that had turned into a wasteland, thunderous cheers erupted from the participating Dragon Nest Beastmen, echoing toward the sky, celebrating the victory and Austin's immensely powerful display of strength.
Austin glanced back momentarily, then turned and flew away.
