The giant's fist descended.
It was like watching a mountain fall.
Golden energy swirled around the crystal arm as it smashed toward the center of the chamber.
"Scatter!"
Aerion's voice echoed through the hall.
The expedition moved instantly.
The fist struck the floor.
**BOOOOOOM!**
The entire chamber shook violently.
Crystal tiles exploded upward, becoming deadly shards that shot across the room.
Several dwarven warriors raised their shields just in time.
The impacts rang like hammer strikes against steel.
Even then, the force pushed them backward.
Dust filled the chamber.
The Archive Breaker slowly lifted its arm from the crater it had created.
Its expression remained emotionless.
Cold.
Mechanical.
As though the people before it were nothing more than obstacles in the execution of its orders.
John launched forward.
Dark mana erupted around his claws.
He crossed the distance in seconds.
His right claw slashed across the giant's wrist.
**CRAAAAACK!**
