"Boom..."
A thunderous roar spread through the air over the old southeastern part of Kageno Island.
Vast magical power formed a pillar of energy that shot up from the Old Southeast District and pierced the clouds, stirring the sky into a vortex.
The Old Southeast District trembled.

Countless people, both those with vested
