King of Meaning (Parts 1-4)

Nomen World.

On the ground.

Everyone looked up.

They saw the sky seem to split open as a gigantic Metal Nail pierced the crystal barrier and firmly embedded itself in it.

"What is that?"

Amid the shock, magic surged.

Countless Arcane Runes revolved around the gigantic Metal Nail, manifesting white radiance like a Magic Array.

It hovered high in the sky, disturbing mana and stirring the winds and clouds.

Even the enormous "Net of Ten Thousand Spirits" was shaken.

"Clatter..."

The Soul-Binding Spirit Ropes forming the net collided with one another, producing a bone-chilling metallic clang.

Thunder boomed repeatedly, deeply shocking everyone who witnessed the scene.

"What is that?"

The natives were utterly bewildered, and even the mages were dumbfounded.

By now, some of the mages had already invaded this world and occupied the kingdom known as Aoqiden.

Once they confirmed that it was a gigantic nail, they were even more shaken.

"I'm not seeing things, am I? Is that the 'Heavenly Meteor Nail'?"

"The council didn't notify us. It isn't ours..."

"But how is that possible?"

At the same time, the wizards were also dumbfounded.

Only Advanced Wizards knew that the alliance would be sending a new army.

For the sake of secrecy, however, they had not been told the specific time or method. Even they had no idea what the reinforcements would be like.

They had already established a Cross-Plane Teleportation Array and imposed controls to conserve transmission capacity. Only after receiving the alliance's emergency notice did they learn that the alliance would be using the "Heavenly Meteor Nail."

Wait, if they even had the "Heavenly Meteor Nail," could a Mage Tower be descending next?

Sure enough, in the next moment.

A metallic tower shaped like a gigantic oval appeared out of thin air, hovering beyond the atmosphere.
