The two Class S hunters had miscalculated and if Zol hadn't acted the moment he felt a shift in the air, things would have been catastrophic for the population on planet Mass.
Even with as little as 4% of his total mana, Mason had no idea it would cause such a phenomenon as the moment he unleashed the saturated mana, disbursing it through his body instead of the mana channels, a torrential and tyrannical wave of energy crashed into the planet.
"AHH!"
Alex and his friends bellowed when the ground beneath their feet rumbled unlike any earthquake ever recorded and cracked as the canyon broke apart from the pressure.
Even with Zol's aura protecting them, they couldn't remain standing as they fell on their buttocks with shocked and fearful expressions.
Zol had to spread his aura around the entire planet to apply his telekinetic abilities to hold everything in place. Even then…
Multiple places on the planet cracked with massive trenches opening in various locations, the seas rose and fell as they generated enormous tsunamis that threatened to swallow cities and towns whole.
It was a disaster of epic proportions simply from Mason unleashing a saturated form of his mana over his body.
Many lives would have been lost if Zol acted a tad bit late.
"MASON!"
Zol called out to him, drawing the hunter out of his excited state, and the moment he looked around from his height.
"Oh shit!"
He cussed and quickly dispelled the Manastorm form and then descended with a gloomy expression. His senses spread around the planet and saw the kind of damage simply activating the Manastorm brought.
'If Zol had not been here, this planet and everyone on it would have been done for.' The thought sent cold shivers down his spine.
We were talking about billions of lives here, and someone as accomplished as him couldn't stomach that kind of senseless loss of life.
'And this was just less than 5%!'
He wanted to feel excited, but the situation had taken the fun out of it. What they needed to do now was ensure the panicking people calmed down and explained to them what caused such a phenomenon.
Alex and Ross looked at Mason with trembling gazes as for the first time, they had seen what a Class S hunter could do and this was just from his aura!
'Someday…'
Ross and Alex clenched their fists in determination.
"I'm sorry, man."
Mason lowered his head in apology and was thankful he didn't go beyond the 5%.
"What's done is done. All we can do is mobilize men for disaster control."
Mason nodded as they both sent messages to their men to handle the mess they just caused and assure the people that it wasn't an attack from void creatures.
Several hours later, the two put everything in order while the kids waited. And in that time, Alex had tried to guide them into activating the Manastorm with minimal success.
'Maybe my explanation isn't clear enough?'
Alex turned to look over to Lord Zol and Mason who were having a small discussion a few meters away. They then looked in his direction and approached.
Quickly getting back on their feet, they waited till the two approached them. Mason stared at Alex with eyes that almost felt like adoration.
At least, that was how Alex saw it.
"Mason and I want to test the form he just unleashed. We won't be gone for long." Zol explained and they nodded in understanding.
But they wondered where they would be testing that out when the first time nearly broke the planet.
"We'll be in outer space, away from the Sol system. It shouldn't take more than 5 minutes." Mason added, clearing the confusion in their eyes.
They nodded and watched as the two abruptly disappeared like they never existed.
"How strong do you think the Manastorm will make them?" Alex asked and then turned to his friends.
"I don't have the ability to even imagine what it would be like." Ross shrugged his shoulders.
"Believe my Alex, my uncle can flick a planet out of existence. And if the Manastorm increases that power, I'm afraid the entire system would collapse."
Julia added with a gulp, staring into the skies like she could see her uncle and Mason.
"Right, we can only wait."
...…..
Appearing millions of kilometres outside the Oort Cloud of the Sol system, Mason and Zol stood several thousands of kilometres apart as Zol watched Mason take on the Manastorm a second time.
And just like the first time, the waves it caused were astronomical as floating celestial objects in the vicinity were blown to bits.
'Let's test out 5% like before.'
"Alright Zol, I'm ready. Go all out with your strength and I'll do the same in this state." Mason suggested and Zol nodded.
'Zol is far stronger physically than most of us. But this time, he's in for a surprise.' He thought with an inward smile.
When he took the Manastorm state earlier, he could literally feel the strength flow through his body like a rushing tide.
It was intoxicating, to say the least.
The two hunters stared at each other and then abruptly disappeared, closing in on each other with a clenched fist.
*BOOOOOOM!*
The clash between two powerhouses with both going all out was a piece of epic proportions mere mortals could not imagine.
The shockwave alone from their punch caused the surrounding space to ripple like waves on the surface of a still water body.
It spread thousands of kilometres in seconds as whatever it encountered was disintegrated out of existence.
The force was enough to blow multiple planets out of existence and if they weren't millions of kilometres away from the solar system, maybe…
However, between the two hunters, Zol was blown backwards at lightspeed, the force preventing him from coming to a stop.
His eyes widened in horror as the force that shook his system was more than he imagined. It shook his internals like vibrational waves travelling through his system.
'Blood.'
Zol touched the corner of his lips and saw the blood that rose through his throat into his mouth. For the first time in a while, another human had been able to make him bleed.
