Chapter 22: The Prelude to a New World
The storm took shape as black light formed, the dark tide of energy surging through the atmosphere. Hundreds of terrifying spells, unleashed at full force by the shamans, converged together, breaking through their original limits. These forces, representing calamity itself, merged into a black and turbid dust devil—a colossal storm thick with the aura of death and destruction. Originating from the walls of the Orc King's Court, it pressed forward relentlessly toward the human army.
It annihilated everything in its path. Whether corpses, rocks, or broken weapons and siege equipment, all were reduced to ashen-gray dust in an instant. The storm, powerful enough to blow even a dragon away, swept these ashes clean without a trace.
Such terrifying power moved with the speed of an unstoppable gale. Within a single breath, it had already closed in on the siege army's position, which was in the midst of a rotation. Even before it drew near, it had caused immense destruction. Countless defensive fortifications were twisted and shattered like butter by the dust devil. Soldiers had to crouch low and cling to heavy objects to avoid being blown away by the aftershocks.
But how could the human position be breached so easily?
One by one, translucent pillars of light rose from the edges of the battlefield, like colossal columns supporting heaven and earth. The Orcs would be exterminated today.
The old era had ended. A new era had arrived.
And in the Northern Lands, within the Seal Chamber of the Cemetery Church...
Accompanied by the admiring cheers of Ying and Lin, and with the assistance of Number 3, Joshua and Moria finally lifted the fully assembled giant armor—a preliminary but complete design for the Mana Armor.
This was the prelude to a new world.
