“Return thyself to the cycle of providence…”

The girl swiftly uttered the incantation as an unfathoic power circles her

“Now, disappear froht!”

Modified Black Magic [Extinction•Ray]

The girl raised her left hand as a blinding ray of light shot out fro forth like an unstoppable torrent down the corridor It was a spell that can break down matter to its basic constituent All the enemy that stood before her – the countless puppets of the ancient sorcerers charging at her in close formation – iped out by the spell in the blink of the eye

As of such, the fear of death gripped the veteran Celica’s heart
