Ebony Maw's Death

The undisputed primary force on the New York battlefield was the Sanctum sorcerers gathered there.

Next came the Iron Legion Stark had assembled.

Only after them were the soldiers led by General Ross.

However, the magic used by Sanctum sorcerers was not power they possessed themselves, but a form of natural energy borrowed from the Elder Gods.

Whenever they used this natural energy, it placed an immense burden on their bodies.

Especially since the Outriders possessed astonishing health and defense, often requiring extremely powerful magical energy to kill.

Less than half an hour into the battle, some Sanctum sorcerers had already suffered magical backlash and lost their ability to fight.

As a result, the number of sorcerers able to fight kept dwindling.

As for Stark's Iron Legion, although it was sizable, because it was mass-produced, all of its metal components were made of titanium alloy.

Though this metal was excellent, its hardness could not compare to Vibranium.
