Chapter 343: Wave
"Lucy, go link up with Cana, Loke, and Elfman."
Lucy looked a little unsure. "Ah... Okay!"
Rhodes handed her two crystal and a magic book. "Keep the magic crystal in your pocket and hold on to the spellbook. Don't worry about Virgo's mission for now. If anything goes wrong, summon her back immediately. Stay safe."
"Got it!" Lucy hugged the book tightly and sprinted off toward the Phantom Guild's main gate.
Behind her, the blue-purple tide of voidmites surged forward like a living flood, devouring every sculpture, railing, and ornamental structure surrounding the Phantom.
The foundation was especially to their taste, and before long, it was riddled with gaping holes.
The fastest swarm had already scaled one of the forward-facing spires.
Rhodes and the others watched as tiny purple-blue specks dotted the tower's surface, spreading cracks from base to tip.
The entire tower looked like a rotted tree gnawed hollow by beavers. It began to lean. And then—
Boom.
With a thunderous crash, the spire collapsed in on itself.
