It was meant to be a lethal, no, annihilating blow.
Indeed, Azdahak's personal strength alone could not combat Roland, who was supported by Durandal and the "Unicorn". But if he could use equipment and cunning schemes to his advantage, there was still a chance to turn the tides.
By carefully calculating during battles, meticulously evaluating the handling capability and defense limits of the opponent, he finally derived a winning formula— to lure Roland into close proximity and directly blast him with the Super Mana Particle Cannon.
Regardless the substance, when subjected to the full power of a Super Mana Particle Cannon at close range, the only fate was annihilation. Both the new type MDS and the legendary sword could only melt and vaporize under high heat, with shockwaves then blowing away the remaining debris.
—It should have been so.
