The Mecha's reactor didn't just explode; it imploded first, pulling the Eldritch's core into a localized gravitational well before detonating in a blinding flash of violet-white soul-fire.
The scream was cut short as the heart of Los Favorecidos was erased in a pillar of pure aether.
"Get down!" Polystar screamed as he dove to the ground.
The others followed.
The sudden wave spread outward chasing both dust and air in all directions.
After a while, things became silent.
They remained that way for a while.
"Everyone okay!?" Polystar asked, trying to wipd his glasses underneath his tunic.
Cynthia grunted as she pushed the huge stone off her back.
Sophia and her father had managed to get protection because of Cynthia.
Debris from the explosion was everywhere, with Eldrich meat still falling from the sky in little chunks.
No doubt, this land had become poisoned beyond repair.
