The battle had begun.
This was it.
Everyone now understood their ability to absorb mana essence from killing spawns, and with that realization came decisive action.
Fighters leapt down from the trucks, boots hitting the cracked asphalt as abilities ignited all at once.
Shots flew toward the advancing ant lizards whose numbers steadily increased.
The battlefield erupted into color and force.
Some raised clouds of dust to blind the creatures. Others hurled fireballs that exploded on impact.
Some condensed water into sharp ice spears or summoned gusts of wind to knock the lizards off balance.
Lightning crackled from a few hands, while otherworldly energies twisted the air into shields or blades.
Force-based incarnations varied widely: some pushed with raw telekinetic power, others crushed with invisible grips, and a few simply amplified their physical strength to tear through armor with bare hands.
Attacks crossed endlessly.
Ant lizards fell one after another.
