Finally, there was an end to the attack on the academy.
Most of the troops from Icor were not willing to surrender, so they were totally wiped out. The few hundred mages remained completely loyal to the Queen; some had even committed suicide on the battle scene or had started to lash back in a manic craze, and were eventually turned into ice sculptures by Benjamin.
The fighting that followed lasted nearly an hour. Although it was basically a one-sided affair, their arms had become sore from the huge slaughter. Because of this, everyone had weary expressions even before the battle ended. Even the students, who had been hiding in the academy and had not done much, could not help but feel dizzy as they looked at the devastated streets.
