They broke apart into countless chunks, big and small, burning with embers or belching black smoke.
That sky-covering, sun-blotting terror and blazing white halo, like a punctured balloon, instantly faded by more than half.
Rumble—
Countless fragments turned into a dense meteor shower, with sky-splitting howls and lingering heat, crashing down toward the Ice Sea below, the frozen ground, and the unfinished shell of the City of Dawn's construction site.
Each individual fragment was far weaker than that world-ending giant rock from before.
But there were simply too many.
The area they covered was too wide; still more than enough to annihilate everything below.
Yet this rain of falling stone from the heavens, in the eyes of the tens of thousands of warriors below, was like blessed rain poured down from Heaven!
Because it meant...
The giant rock had been broken apart.
The sky hadn't collapsed!
"Block it! Block those fragments!! Protect the site!!!"
