If it made a sound, no one except Valeria would know. For the sight of the impact simply did not allow them to focus on anything else.
Her blade met the ice, slicing through the surface layers like butter while simultaneously shattering several feet of ice, sending cracks throughout. Large chunks of dark ice fell, revealing deeper layers beneath. She left a giant gaping hole in the face.
There was silence for a few moments.
Plap.
The first sound to resound was the sound of Zara falling to the ground, with quivering legs. "I… I love you, Captain."
Jin looked envious, and also a bit resigned. He averted his gaze and sighed. "Eclipse Knight…" He bit his lip in mild frustration. "No wonder…"
Yet as impressive as the damage was, Lumi could see it was superficial. She'd barely penetrated a few feet, and the ice further inside looked denser and more resistant.
