The [Unity Gun] shot a beam of power soaring through the skies, piercing through the magic sphere that surrounded Michael.
The wizards felt their connection with the 8-star spell break, severing the mana they built up so far.
An overwhelming sense of exhaustion coursed through their bodies. They had completely used up all the mana in their cores, leaving them completely spent and tired.
Just then, the skies emitted a bright light. Everyone looked up to see a single star shining in the distance, flickering like any other heavenly bodies before it. But after a few seconds, the star beca ever so bigger and ever so brighter.
Before the wizards could even wonder what was happening, a single beam of light instantaneously appeared, connecting the lone star in the skies and reaching down towards one of the wizard's stomach, destroying the mana cores contained inside.
But as it turned out, this beam of light had curved and hit the next wizard, and the next, and the next, creating an almost circular connection with the star in the skies.
A macabre image of the wizards being strung up and skewered like pearls on a necklace beca an image that would never leave the mory of anyone who saw it from down below.
The wizards looked down at the beam of Unity light piercing their stomachs, before passing out from pure exhaustion and injury. All their years of cultivation and hard work was destroyed when the [Unity Gun] pierced through their cores.
The beam of light slowly dissipated, severing its connection with the star above the skies, which slowly lost all its luster and hid within the black void of space.
The bodies of the wizards fell down from the air, plumting at terminal velocity.
Just before they crashed to their deaths, a shadowy figure erged from down below and cushioned their landing, saving them from certain death.
Michael thought it would be too cruel for them to die now that he had already crippled their power. He had his shadows wrap themselves around the unconscious wizards of Flarecorp and transfer them over to the prison in the Nation of Reborn.
anwhile, he himself stayed hovering in the air.
He looked up, but the apparition of the tallic woman was already long gone. She disappeared as soon as the Unity Gun shot off into skies.
Her last words to him echoed in his mind.
…build …, she said.
Her words were drowned out by the intense power of the [Unity Gun] that Michael almost mistook it for his imagination. But it was definitely real.
Who do you think that was? he asked ChatJK4.
[There is no definite conclusion to that question. However, there is enough reason to speculate that the woman must be connected with the completed pieces of the GodForge itself. Perhaps that is what she ant when she said 'build '.]
Michael agreed with ChatJK4's conclusion. It seed that she was able to hide a part of her presence in the GodForge piece this whole ti. And it was only when he used the [Unity Gun] did she show herself.
Hmm…[Unity Gun] is the first spell that makes use of Unity mana. And it is also a combination of Physical and Mystical Arts. Could that be the reason why she appeared once I used it and not when I used the other spells?
[There is reason to believe so.]
Michael looked down at his own chest. With a simple [X-Ray] spell, he was able to see his own heart in crystal clear clarity.
On the left upper chamber was the GodForge piece, which had wrapped itself around his heart.
Just like before, this tallic liquid remained stagnant in his body, never moving, never radiating any kind of power. It was as if nothing even happened in the first place.
If I used [Unity Gun] again, will she appear?
It was unfortunate that Michael didn't understand what kind of power she used to hide herself in the GodForge piece. If he did, then he would be able to find out if she was still present in this piece or not.
[Nothing has changed with the GodForge piece. Logic dictates that repeating the sa action with the sa variables will result in the sa effects.]
Michael wanted to try it out imdiately. But he knew that this was not the ti to do so. He still had to wrap up the loose ends in the Grafted Cluster.
He slowly lowered himself down to the ground, with everyone's eyes locked onto him.
…
…
…
Practically everyone in the central town witnessed the unexplained spectacle in the skies. Ever since Michael kidnapped their tal utensils in the air, everyone went outside and beca spectators of the fight that unfolded.
Even though this was the first ti they witnessed the battle of high-level wizards, they knew that there was sothing different with the tallic woman apparition that appeared behind Michael.
It was unnatural and natural at the sa ti. It was unfamiliar and familiar at the sa ti.
Her presence made them scared, yet they could not rip their gazes away from her.
This was the closest thing to a god that they could have ever seen.
And because of that, Michael's presence beca even more substantial than normal. They stared at him as he lowered himself down, making them wonder who he was in the first place.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that this was a life-changing experience for many of them.
But perhaps, one among them was more changed than the rest of them.
Hestu was still looking up at the skies, with the image of the tallic woman burned in his mories. His heart was still palpitating with emotion, with excitent!
There was a wholehearted belief in his heart that the tallic woman was nothing less than a Goddess!
"This must be a sign," Hestu muttered to himself. "The Sli God was right!"
…
…
…
anwhile, Bulren was on his knees as he looked at Michael as he touched down on the ground.
He couldn't believe what he had just witnessed. Five 6-star wizards taken down by a single boy.
And after looking at his golden hair and his warm smile, Burlen was sure. This was Michael, the rumored owner of the Reborn company.
After this realization, things sohow finally made sense.
His brother had already told him the truth, but he just refused to believe it. The Reborn company was not a middling organization that was going to crumble under pressure. No. They were a company ant for the big leagues. They were a company that could contend with the very best of them, even Flarecorp.
Seeing Michael defeat 6-star wizards handily made him realize how much he had underestimated this company. He thought those rumors of them defeating the Stone-Cold 6, a group brought up by the Hephaestus conglorate themselves, was a lie.
But as it turned out, they were more than the truth, they were just the beginning.
He had made a mistake. He had sided with Flarecorp thinking that this was the only way that he could survive. He thought this was the only way he could protect his and his employee's livelihood.
But he had dood it instead.
