Deliberation

Chapter 489: Deliberation

All the surviving wizards froze where they stood, their faces etched with utter terror and despair.

Their attacks were useless.

They were instantly killed in close combat.

Even the most insidious curses were "absorbed" by some bizarre method, only for the casters to be killed in an instant...
