He glanced back at the pillar of flames; it wasn't an ordinary Earth Fire phenomenon but the rage of the planet itself... The Ancient Venerable's attacks were always earth-shattering, disturbing the stars. Although it was just a phenomenon, if you got hit, it was more than just a phenomenon.
On his first attempt with the Ancient Venerable's phenomenon effect attack, he got blown up in one encounter, taking a direct hit as if he took a punch from the Ancient Venerable, instantly losing four layers of 'serpent's exuvia'.
