As she looked at her mother, who was currently sleeping on a chair, as well as at her brother, who was trying his best to master the Knight Breathing Technique, Beatrice couldn't help but take a sip of her tea, as she felt the rays of the sun fall down upon her.
Suddenly, though, the rays of the sun disappeared, as numerous dark clouds suddenly appeared in the sky, causing Beatrice to suddenly frown.
Even though Beatrice felt much more comfortable now that the light of the sun was no longer shining on her, as she continued staring at the sky, an ominous feeling couldn't help but emerge from within her, causing her heart to suddenly begin pounding.
As she placed her hand over her chest and felt her rapidly beating heart, the gaze that Beatrice looked at the sky with subtly changed, as for the first time in around ten years, a look of slight fear appeared on her face
"Big sister, did something happen?" asked Frederick as he suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Beatrice, seemingly sensing the change of the mood in the air.
"It's nothing, I was just a little bit disappointed that the clouds appeared, you should go inside right now, It's getting a little bit cold," said Beatrice, making Frederick feel a little bit confused, as the surrounding temperature seemed to be quite normal.
Without any warning, though, Frederick felt a cold gust of wind suddenly strike him from behind, causing him to slightly shiver and repeatedly nod his head.
A moment later, Frederick, alongside Iris, who had been awoken by the cold temperatures, went inside, leaving Beatrice outside alone, simply staring at the sky as she dispelled the chill that she had created.
"The source of these clouds is not in the Golwall Archipelago," mumbled Beatrice as she continued staring at the ominous clouds that filled the sky.
At this very moment though, a raindrop suddenly fell from the sky, landing straight onto Beatrice, followed by another one, and another one.
In just under thirty seconds, the weather had fully transformed, as enormous amounts of water began pouring over the entirety of the island, or at least as far as Beatrice could see in the distance.
At this moment, though, Beatrice's eyes fully popped open, as she now began staring into the distance with a shocked look on her face.
Without any hesitation, a wave of darkness suddenly began flowing from within Beatrice, enveloping the entirety of the Agnes estate as it then transformed into a solid shield.
Only a few moments after that, Beatrice could now see the thing that she had sensed with the naked eye.
As she looked at the hundred-meter tall wave of water that was traveling in her direction at speeds over thirty kilometers an hour, Beatrice couldn't help but frown, as her suspicion that this was not a natural disaster, proved itself true.
Only around thirty seconds later, the waves of the tsunami smashed into the barrier that Beatrice had created, which seemed completely unbothered by them.
But even though Beatrice's barrier held on, this did not stop the waves of water from continuing their rampage, as they quickly swept around and over the barrier.
...
In what seemed like an instant, countless tons of earth suddenly moved, transforming into an extremely thin wall, just over a centimeter thick.
A moment later, as Antonia used more of her power, and as more and more ants joined in, the wall suddenly began transforming into a sphere, which now surrounded the entirety of the colony, as well as the home of their mistress.
With the mental support of over 1.1 million earth ants, Antonia was quickly able to reinforce the wall using her Earth Magic, which had now become immensely powerful thanks to the support of her children.
Because of this, even as waves upon waves of water smashed onto the wall again and again with countless tons of force, the wall still held on, if just barely.
...
At the same time, on Stoughlodge Island, Epview Archipelago,
As she looked at the figure who was currently floating in the middle of the air in front of her, Alice, who was usually quite calm, couldn't help but shake.
Though Alice was not shaking because of fear, nor because of excitement, rather, the reason Alice was shaking was far more primordial, as if her very existence was afraid of the being in front of her.
At this moment, a wave of fire suddenly appeared around Alice, causing the girl to calm down, as her teacher then turned to her.
"As expected, a Mage Apprentice, especially on a Fire Mage Apprentice can't withstand the leader's ascendance," mumbled Joan as she looked at her apprentice before turning her attention to the middle of the island, where the leader of the Rose Guild, Skye Higgins, was currently transforming.
...
As she stared at her True Body, which looked nearly identically to that of a water elemental, as well as at the copious amounts of mana that were pouring into her, Skye Higgins couldn't help but shake her head and clench her fist.
The moment Skye clenched her fist, her hand, which had become now looked quite old with her advancement in age, suddenly shattered into tiny pieces, which now flew into the wind.
A moment later, using the huge amounts of mana at her disposal, as well as the comprehension she had reached not too long ago, Sky now began forming a new hand.
...
The moment Skye's hand shattered, and the small pieces scattered with the wind, the small storm that had appeared around the island abruptly increased in size, fueled by Skye's formerly water elemental like body.
With every body part replaced, the aura of the being that was being created in the center of the island increased in power, bit by bit.
By the time Skye's transformation was nearly finished, not even her Official Mage subordinates were able to safely stay in the area around the island, and had to retreat farther away.
