The instant the Ship-Splitting Sword swept through it, the "castle" immediately fell apart.
Van-Fem's magical energy had long since run dry. The "castle" had only maintained its current size by drawing on Chaldeas's magical energy.
Once Chaldeas's supply of magical energy was cut off, the "castle" lost its power source and automatically disintegrated.
Van-Fem's face was deathly pale as he fell freely through the air, looking like a man with a kidney deficiency.
Fortunately, Yuan Shikai swiftly flew over and caught him. Otherwise, falling from several thousand meters up would have reduced him to a bloody mess.
It was also fortunate that Van-Fem was a True Ancestor. If it had been anyone else, they would have died from magical exhaustion long ago.
Yuan Shikai: "Not bad. With acting skills like yours, it would've been a waste not to make it in Hollywood."
Van-Fem: "Honestly, I did open a few film companies back then, and I even considered becoming the leading man. But too much happened afterward, and it all fell through."
"But you didn't disappoint me either. You actually saw through my act. I was really afraid you'd accidentally cut me down for real. Then I'd have had no way to explain myself."
Yuan Shikai: "I'm not that capable. I noticed something was off, but I didn't think in that direction. If you want to thank someone, thank Lita Rozay-en. She synchronized her memories with mine."
Van-Fem: "She truly deserves immense credit for saving the world!"
Yuan Shikai: "That's right. Without her, it might have ended before it even began."
After successfully bringing Van-Fem back to the ground, before they could explain what had happened, everything returned to square one: Chaldea's civil war.
When Marisbury saw the "castle" in the sky disappear, he wanted to enter Chaldea and meet Alien
