The moment Khepri's voice finished echoing —
"Partial Law: Sovereign of Earth" —the world itself shuddered.
The battlefield twisted violently, the earth convulsing as Khepri rose higher into the broken sky, a titan of brownish-gold mana.
Stone weapons hung like stars overhead.
An army of knights emerged from the torn ground.
And yet—
Alex barely reacted.
His golden eyes, usually fierce and burning with battle-hunger, dimmed into something quieter.
Calmer.
Colder.
It was Nova's voice that finally stirred the stillness in his mind.
[NOVA]:
"Do not forget, Alex—Unlike the Thunder Wolf, whose law you denied with your overwhelming mastery of the thunder element...
Khepri is different."
Her mechanical-like voice was steady. and devoid of any humour, as if she were reciting a lesson they both already knew.
[NOVA]:
"Earth is the natural counter to Thunder.
Your affinity will not suppress him as easily."
