Chapter Seventy: Echoes of Destruction

Axel POV:

The deafening roar of the explosion rips through the air, sending a shockwave that knocks me off my feet. I scramble up, my ears ringing, heart pounding as the reality of the situation slams into me.

"Fuck," I curse under my breath, my mind racing with a thousand scenarios, none of them good.

"Everyone, move!" I shout, my voice raw with urgency.

My team reacts instantly, spreading out in a practiced formation, but the chaos of the explosion has turned the once-organized plan into a scramble for survival.

Rubble and debris are scattered everywhere, the once formidable structure now reduced to ruins. Smoke billows up, making it hard to see, and the acrid stench of burning materials fills my lungs, making it difficult to breathe. I cough, trying to clear my head and focus.

"Find her. Find Phera. And watch out for any survivors or kidnappers!"

The teams spread out, each warrior scanning the wreckage for any sign of Phera or her captors.
