Boom!
Just as Alan was lost in thought, a deafening explosion suddenly erupted outside the train.
The next moment, a violent tremor jolted the entire cabin, throwing him hard onto the floor.
Alan quickly stored the Spirit of Fire away and scrambled to his feet, instinctively looking out the window.
What he saw made his blood run cold—a massive magic array was slowly materializing above the train, its runes pulsing with terrifying destructive energy.
In an instant, the array severed the connection between the first-class car and the rest of the train.
But that didn't mean the passengers were safe.
In fact, Alan could already see some carriages derailing and toppling off the track completely as the magic array took effect.
Muffled cries of pain and panic filtered in from the outside.
Then, starting from the last carriage, a chain of explosions rocked the train again, each one louder than the last.
