The Vastness of Magical Destiny

The immense power unleashed by Blaze Burning Sky made Komer’s Wrath of the Water God seem a bit too insignificant. Although Komer’s desperate resistance caused the Wrath of the Water God to churn up several meters high waves roaring towards the fire wall, it was clearly no match for the Fire Magic Array supported by several Archmages. As the waves neared the fire wall, they immediately turned into a vast expanse of white steam, and the whole front was almost completely engulfed in a warm, steaming mist.

Komer looked at the advancing red fire wall with some pain, fully sustaining the Wrath of the Water God had already exhausted him, but the opponent’s power was too strong. His own power might surpass any single one of the strong adversaries, but to contend head-on with so many of them clearly was beyond his reach.

Nevertheless, the power of the Wrath of the Water God was not without effect, as it significantly slowed down the advancement of the fire wall, allowing Fran to make a quick and reasonable decision, enabling the infantry formation to immediately take a steady retreat backward, avoiding the encroaching flames. Komer knew, however, that such a situation wouldn’t last long. Once his mana was depleted, the fire wall would rapidly pour forward, and by then, not only would the infantry formation be unable to escape, but his own party would also be in considerable danger.

Now, all hope rested entirely on Mihailovich’s Metal Magic Dolls and Uma’s undead power. In fact, the Metal Magic Dolls, against magicians possessing powerful magic, were unlikely to pose a significant threat, but if they were to be involved in the battles against knight regiments or infantry formations, that’s where they could best exert their might. And for those self-proclaimed limitless mages, perhaps the undead were indeed their worst nightmare.

In fact, Uma had been lurking near the Nikosia Kingdom Royal Mage Corps, at a straight-line distance of less than thirty meters, always watching, especially the Veiled Saintess in the center. The Detection Magic used on the Veiled Saintess had several times alerted the opponent, but Uma was very careful. He knew those fellows from the Church of Light were extremely sensitive to the aura of spirits from the Dark Abyss, and any slight mistake would lead to his detection. His detection magic had not utilized any dark power at all, relying solely on Spiritual Power to probe, but even so, the opposing party’s nearly intuitive perception was constantly searching the surroundings, evidently trying to locate him as well.

Uma greedily observed and assessed his target, that damn Light Mage standing by the side repeatedly foiling his attempts to view the graceful Veiled Lady from all angles. The youthful appearance of the Church of Light’s Saintess seemed to suggest that she might be under thirty years old, but the composure she exhibited led Uma to realize that she was no fledgling, which only added to the challenge.
