The moment the barrier shattered, everyone thought victory was within reach.
The cheers had barely begun when Martin's expression changed.
"Something's wrong!"
He charged forward, and the power of a Level 8 Wizard erupted.
But the instant that power touched the breach in the barrier, it vanished without a trace, like a clay ox sinking into the sea.
At the breach, a strange void was spreading.
Benjamin stood at the center of the breach, the smile on his face frozen.

Whatever their ultimate goal was, they could not be allowed to succeed!

At the breach, that strange void was spreading, trying to seal off the entire plane once more.
Martin raised his right hand.
Gray flames gathered in his palm.

"Get that kid back!"

Hundreds of Level 6 Wizards led millions of Expeditionary Force troops and followed close behind.
An ocean of cannon fodder creatures surged toward the breach like a tide.
Gray flames, twisted information, violent elemental forces, chaotic laws...
Every attack poured down upon the void like a torrential storm.
Benjamin opened his eyes and found himself standing within a void.
There was no up or down,
