Sovereign of the Ashes

Had the White Sand World legion kept up its relentless, high-speed charge, it would have taken heavy losses.

But since that could have interfered with Sein’s casting of the forbidden spell, the Magus World Army would definitely have taken countermeasures.

The elite knight legion, already on standby, would have stepped in to form a solid defensive line in front of Sein.

At the same time, the cannon fodder legions made up of enslaved creatures would have rushed into the native forces of White Sand World, locking them in fierce combat.

However, because the native creatures of White Sand World focused on defense instead, they avoided heavy casualties but also missed their best chance to disrupt Sein’s forbidden spell.

The two space fortresses still floated silently in the starry sky, releasing steady streams of energy beams. These steel giants had not yet revealed their full strength.

This time, Sein’s forbidden spell—Penetrating Eye—was a single-beam spell focused on local impact rather than wide-range destruction.

Because of this, its casting time was shorter than that of most large-scale, area-of-effect forbidden spells.

On top of that, Sein’s magic rod was powered by two divine relics that served as energy sources for forbidden spells, making his casting speed faster than that of ordinary Rank Four mages.

Thanks to precise timing and overwhelming force, the entire battle had followed Magus World’s rhythm from the very beginning.

The truth was, no matter what choices the native creatures of White Sand World made or how hard they resisted, all they could do was delay the inevitable...

Red and white energy beams intertwined and shot directly toward the White Sand World legion.
