Lucius turned his head toward her so slowly and so disappointed that she visibly shrank.
"Are you mad?" he asked calmly. "Keep charging up."
"Yes, Boss!" she squeaked, jerking her hand upward again as the mana around her doubled in intensity.
Lucius exhaled once through his nose.

His suspicion was confirmed when the exploded centipede head… previously crushed by the Supreme Guild's coordinated blast suddenly twitched.
The brain, which had fallen from the ruined skull, pulsed with mana.
Flash.
