Conquering His Cold Heart

Chapter 729 6th circle magic (2)

As the gears of Frost's imagination began to turn General Jessica was connected to multiple living mana batteries from the battery platoon as well as half a dozen B-rank mages from the magic corps, one of which was Flora the one who had guided him here.

The ambient mana in the surroundings became so thick that the very air felt dense, rivalling that of a liquid. And in the centre of this coming storm was General Jessica. A woman who stood at the supposed peak of the Sapient magic world.

With an elegant set of purple robes lined with high quality crystals and a two handed staff that was exquisitely carved from a 5 star tree famously known for its mana conductivity Jesscia took a solid stance, fortifying her position.

Her visage that was previously strained and serious gradually softened becoming enchantingly ethereal as she connected with her soul, easily entering a prime state of focus.

Her bountiful aura that escaped alongside her mana coalesced around her, solidifying into what looked like a giant high quality mana crystal above her head. Her own mana as well as the mana being supplied to her became denser and far less flamboyant as it passed through it.

The skin covering Frost broke into goosebumps and his lips instinctively turned upwards as excitement filled his heart. He could feel the extent of what was about to happen, magic at a level far removed from his current state, a process that would see thousands perhaps even tens of thousands of soldiers perish…the stench of blood and power caused his heart to thumb so loud that he could perfectly hear every beat.

General Jessica silently prepared herself for a full minute before glancing towards the centre of the Northen wall where General Katrina was stoically standing with crossed arms.

Feeling Jessica's gaze Katrina smiled with a violent glint before nodding her head and dragging her thumb across her neck.

General Jessica's serene and calm expression shattered in that instant. An evil, obsessive smile grew on her face as a feeling of madness overwhelmed her.

"Watch closely young Frost…I'll carve into your eyes the beauty of magic and its endless possibilities." With her true nature unleashed General Jessica began chanting a very long aria alongside the six B-rank mages.

Every word no, every syllable evoked a powerful reaction, drastically consuming the vast quantities of collected mana to establish a part of the most intricate and massive magic crest (that he could somewhat understand) Frost had ever laid eyes on.

There was a significant change in the atmosphere, both tangible and not. The sky above was quickly covered with a massive red magic crest that stretched for several hundred metres while the ground and nearby objects started to tremble.

Down on the ground the Vanguard team had already been given fair warning by the command centre as did Generals Jared and Danielle who had been restricting the enemy Generals. Thus even before the changes in the surroundings began they had retreated to a certain point. An action that hadn't gone unnoticed by General Vash but the why still eluded him at least until he felt the hair on the back of his neck stand on end.

Feeling a sudden wave of dread his senses screened the battlefield before narrowing atop the Northern wall. There was however someone even faster than him.

"Fuck! General it's the Mana Succubus she's casting something insane!" A highly respected mage General from the Jabrak Kingdom roared in desperation. He too was someone who delved into the depths of magic, a powerful A-rank mage but the waves of mana being consumed right now were far beyond what he was capable of even on his best day. Even their Kingdom's most eminent mage wasn't capable of something like this.

That meant one thing, the War Ursa Battalion's strongest mage, the Mana Succubus General Jessica Tunray was making a move personally.

Alarm bells went off in Vash's skull, just the words Mana Succubus made him tremble. His first and natural instinct was to run for the hills but unfortunately that wasn't possible.

Time was short, he needed to come up with a decent plan otherwise the losses would be catastrophic. Unfortunately other than himself and one other all the Generals present on their side were in the early stages of A-rank, a stark contrast to Jessica who was at the very peak of the late stages or perhaps even higher.

A big player was making a move so early on, a move that their Vanguard was poorly equipped to manage.

Hundreds of thoughts were processed in Vash's mind in less than a second each one however only made his current grave expression worsen.

"FUCK!!! READY THE CANNONS FOR A DEFENSIVE BARRAGE, ALL MAGIC USERS CONJURE AS MANY SHIELDS AS POSSIBLE!!" Vash bellowed at the top of his lungs and animatedly waved his hands and arms to stress the seriousness of the situation.

"All Generals to me we have to use our aura to block as much of whatever's coming otherwise the losses will be unimaginable." The only solution Vash had was to throw numbers at the problem, efficiency be damned.

"Grrrr yes General." Unable to deny the dread and pressure inflicted upon them by the presence of the Mana Succubus the 7 A-rank Generals of the Alliance's Vanguard followed Vash's order with nary a single argument. Like common foot soldiers the male and female monsters stood as one with Vash in the centre.

While the massive red magic crest finalised its form hundreds of low rank magic shields were conjured above the masses of the alliance. The element and circle did not matter, as long as one could utilise magic to some degree a rudimentary shield was formed in whatever space remained.

Mana cannons and war machines prepared by the alliance for their siege were redirected to point straight up. Their arrows, bolts or mana chambers filled to the brim as they awaited their commander's orders to fire.

Frontline fighters who were unable to manipulate mana were powerless in regards to what was coming. The best they could do was raise their shields overhead or cover their bodies in simple chakra armour hoping that the residual blast would be too weak to kill them after breaking through the main defences. There wasn't a single monster in the entire army that was confident in being able to block a blow from the infamous Mana Succubus and her magic corps.

Even Vash who had several A-rank Generals standing by his side was calculating the extent of their losses rather than how they'd manage to break the coming spell.

Back on top of the Northern wall Jessica was uttering the last words of the her 6th circle war magic.

"[Greater Meteor Fall]" With the final three words spoken the massive magic crest covering the sky was complete. A silencing hum reverberated throughout the air in response and a moment later the red coloured crest shone brighter than the sun.

Don don don.

The sound of bodies falling against a hard surface echoed around Frost. The B-rank mages and all the living mana batteries instantly collapsed, their expressions marred by a lack of blood and energy. Nearby soldiers quickly ran to their sides to support them in their time of need.

Frost who witnessed this instantly locked his gaze upon General Jessica, if the secondary and tertiary controllers were this drained then what of the main caster.

"Cough!" The master caster, General Jessica had fallen to a half kneeling position, relying on her staff to hold her upright. Her hands were trembling, and her body seemed to visibly age at an extreme rate. So much focus and internal mana was summoned that the magic used to protect her youth was disturbed. She really put all she had into the spell, [Greater meteor fall].

"Frost you're looking in the wrong direction." Despite her exhaustion Jessica still found enough energy to berate Frost and quickly cover up the rapidly showing signs of aging.

'She seems fine.' Relieved by her reaction Frost turned his head to see just what the War Ursa Battalion's magic corps had summoned.

It didn't take long, perhaps a few seconds from when Jessica spoke the final words of the aria for the magic crest to activate. It shone with an almost blinding light as it transformed the accrued mana into shape.

And just a Frost turned his gaze back to the centre of the spell a darkness, an overreaching shadow blotted out the sky. A mass of immense magnitude crossed through the crest, stretching the already massive radius as it passed.

"What the hell!" He instinctively took a step back as a chill ran down his spine.

From the magic crest a giant boulder of some kind covered in fire and lava burst forth with a powerful vengeance. A meteor over two hundred metres across was crashing down upon the alliance's forces. The size and weight of the meteor was so immense that those underneath felt a weight press down upon them as it loomed.

Any hope they had in their hearts was immediately crushed as every nerve in their body screamed for them to run.

This was no longer the work of magic but the fury of nature, what could mere mortals due in the face of such devastation.
