The rumbling shockwaves and small explosions from the Mana being crushed caused the Arcanum Mages to stumble back, their eyes widening in shock.
"Who?!" they cried out, their bodies tensing as they prepared to defend themselves. Fear and awe mingled in their expressions as they witnessed the casual display of overwhelming power.
Only Lyra was protected from the gusts of wind and shockwaves, sheltered by Gladius and Arianna's aura.
She narrowed her eyes, her perception just fast enough to see six terrifying Mages standing in the sky. Their expressions widened in split-second horror as they realized their attacks had failed.
In that same moment, Gladius slashed out with his cloud lightning spirit sword once again. The blade unleashed a radiance that blinded the air itself.
Thunder roared as a wave of lightning sword energy howled towards the six Senior Mages. It was like watching a storm contained within a blade, raw power given form and purpose.
