With Clint knocked unconscious, Nel was the only one facing Magi and Cian. However, Magi was beginning to feel his magic feeling ripped out of his body. The residual Ice Magic was still there and was trying to impose the debt of using such an ability.“——Ngh.” He groaned. He could feel his joints being frozen once more. He didn't know that there would be residuals of his former magic, an effect that he had overlooked.“Are you alright? Did he get you?” Cian asked as his voice was laced with worry. “No. Don't mind me. I'll set the portals, you can do your thing. You know how our new style goes.”Holding his chest, Magi would bear with the pain, trying to shake it off. “Just in case you guys are forgetting, I'm not alone.” As the twins conversed, Nel would call out as reinforcement arrived.They were armed with Grants that seemed to be different than the last, with all of them having the same appearance. “——What are those?!” Cian was clueless about those intimidating weapons. They

Sandworms. Their names might sound harmless, yet it is one of the monsters that live in the desert outside of cities. The Sandworms are fearsome creatures that lurked in the scorching desert sands. With no eyes to guide them, they relied on the vibrations in the ground to navigate their way through the barren wasteland. Their thick, indestructible hides made them immune to almost all forms of magic, allowing them to withstand the extreme temperatures of their environment. They were swift and agile, using their powerful jaws to vacuum up the sand in front of them and propel themselves forward. They were a formidable foe, feared by all who dared to brave the desert.Yet, there was no other than the three who were aware of that."Come on, Magi, don't push yourself!" Sabrine shouted as she swerved the bike, narrowly avoiding the Sandworm's attack. The sand behind them was churned up, the creature's mouth sucking up the grains as it chased after them."I have to try!" Magi shouted back

Covered in tall smoke and small craters, the landscape on the battlefield had shown no signs of stopping. The sandstorm that had begun to worsen was only divided by the remaining bases' weather control devices, allowing the perimeter to remain unaffected and also allowing the combatants to freely fight without worry."Your Ice Magic was a tad more useful than that." Kikuo glanced down, talking down at Magi who had his right hand hidden."Perhaps, but you underestimate us too much." Magi glanced at one of Violet's sentries as three of them aided him in battle, wielding different weapons that had been infused with magic, sparkling in lightning in their gaps."Hah, you think a few tricks up your sleeves are going to make a difference against us?" Kikuo chuckled, swinging his musket around with ease. "Black Skulls is the strongest organization in the Elemental Magistrate, and we won't be defeated by a few measly sentries and their petty magic.""You talk a big game, Kikuo," Magi sneered,

In no more than two hours, the barriers that had held the final base in began to break into pieces as they dissipate into the air. The winds of flame that rose to the sky had cleared the clouds, revealing the night sky. A heat wave would also slowly blast away as it poured out from the barrier, emitting a slightly hot temperature that traveled through the land. “The barrier broke! That means——?!” Cian exclaimed, looking at the others as their eyes create the same gaze. They all began to move in quickly as they could, past the barrier and into the bases that seemed to have caught on fire, but on the inside was but a large and deep crater that was dangerous to tread.“W-Whoa——!” Cian screamed, his feet barely stopping him from running into the chasm. “What the hell happened here?” Kira asked, looking for any signs of the Black Skulls. “There's... no one else down there,” Evan muttered as he focused his ability, Diagnosis, into the chasm and surrounding area. There were no other li

“I see. But why did you have to come here though? Isn't it good news for you guys? You can start bringing true order to the city of Newyark.” Teresa raised an eyebrow as she was still uncertain of Leonis' presence. He might have not known of the real reason for the people's migration from Newyark, but Teresa was almost certain that he could have guessed it easily. She was certain that it was just a front for something else that he needs. “Oh? I came here because... why not? I wanted to see my friends and borrow some money from the captain. I'm running out of funds, as you can see. I can't even afford my food right now!” Leonis would lean back as he placed a hand above his forehead, acting as if he was in distress with his dire financial situation. “If that's just it, then take this!” Cian kept on eating the other dishes as he swiped the air, sending something toward Leonis' digitalizer.The numbers on his digitalizer would go up from zero to half a million.“——Whoa?!”He fell back
