Adam's rage-filled voice resounded across the battlefield. One could feel the overwhelming sadness in his voice, and the aura he emanated made them suffocate.
Even the Rank 2 Magi that were battling with each other suddenly paused. All of them glanced at Adam with incredulous expressions. But no one was more shocked than the Magi of the allied forces.
Esmond looked over in Adam's direction and saw the number of dismembered bodies around him and the rain of flesh and blood falling on him. Such a spectacle left him stunned.
The man couldn't help but think to himself in disbelief, Just how many people did he kill with that one move alone?! Incredible!
He had personally sparred with the youth on several occasions. He knew just how profound Adam's Astral Tyrant Manual was. But even he couldn't come to terms with the sheer power displayed by Adam in his last move.
The Magi stationed around the destroyed gates were equally shocked. One moment, their enemies were flooding in from the outside, but the next, an extremely bright streak of light suddenly appeared out of nowhere and took care of all the beasts, orcs, ogres, and trolls.
It was like a meteor had descended!
They all glanced at Adam's proud and lonely back with fear as well as admiration. To be able to take out so many enemies with just a single move was incomprehensible to them.
At that moment, they realized that Adam was no ordinary Rank 1 Magus.
Suddenly, Adam turned his head ever so slightly and glanced back at them.
"Repair the gates. I will hold them down."
The Magi of the allied forces were deeply moved. While some of them were brought to tears witnessing the youth's passion and determination, most had a blazing fire lit up in their hearts.
They wasted no time doing as Adam instructed. They would never get another opportunity like this. Time was of the essence.

"Erect the walls!"
"Repair the gates!"
"Do whatever it takes!"
At once, half the Magi gathered around the destroyed gates and jointly cast their spells. While the other half took care of the enemies that had already breached the city.
The Magi erected one mud wall after another, covering it with layers of elemental spells. They reinforced it over and over again, making sure that nothing would get past this new magically-created wall.
"Attack! Attack! Attack! What're you all waiting for?! Kill that damn boy!" A Rank 2 orc screamed at the top of his lungs as he ordered the army around him.
The enemies were jolted awake from their momentary daze. All of them glanced at Adam, who was standing alone, and rushed toward him with unbridled killing intent.
Adam glanced at this scene of the horde of enemies charging at him. To say that he wasn't afraid would be a lie.
He was afraid.
The youth asked himself, Can I still be brave if I'm afraid?
His eyes shone with boundless determination as an answer came to him from the depths of his heart.
The only time I can be brave is when I'm afraid.

A brilliant magic circle lit up underneath him. Following that, the gravity in a 10-foot-radius sphere around him increased by two-fold.
Rank 1 Spell: Magnify Gravity!
Adam got into a fighting stance, his fists raised in front of him. His lips parted and he roared like a primal beast.
"I'll take you all on!!"
His palms turned into the shape of a claw as he coated them with a layer of pristine white mana. The next moment, he let out a loud roar and dove straight into the swarm of enemies.
Anyone that came inside his gravity sphere, instantly lost balance. Some were even outright pressed to the ground. They were simply fish on his chopping board. Adam effortlessly clawed through all his enemies.
He was like the grim reaper as he mauled everyone to their death. He was covered in the flesh and blood of his enemies, his eyes were bloodshot, and his countenance was demonic.
When his enemies witnessed this, all of them felt a chill crawl down their spines. Even the magical beasts that had been manipulated and gone berserk, hesitated to approach him. Much less the orcs, trolls, and ogres who were quite sane comparatively.
Adam was like an immovable obelisk. Nothing could get past him.
When the Magi of the allied forces witnessed this scene of Adam single-handedly massacring all the enemies, their morale went through the roof.
"HAHAHAHA!" Esmond burst into a loud peal of laughter. "You see that, you pig-faced bastards? As long as Magi like him remain standing, the Southern Federation will never fall!"
Greatly motivated by Adam's actions, Esmond as well as the other Rank 2 Magi erupted into even greater strength.

"Magi of the Roy Family!" Marcella roared as she fought her opponent. "Protect Adam Constantine at all costs!"
She knew the youth's importance. If he were to die now, the allied forces would face a terrible setback. It was imperative to protect him.
"OHHH!" Half a dozen Magi wearing white cloaks jumped off the city walls and created a perimeter around Adam, protecting him from the enemies that tried to flank him.
Adam happened to glance sideways and his gaze met Elton's. The latter deeply looked at him and passionately stated, "Fight till your heart's content, Magus! We will aid you!"
The youth's lips curled up into a grin. He simply nodded at this familiar man whom he had confronted not too long ago. Now that he had people supporting him, he felt slightly relieved.
However, he still cautioned them.
"Don't come within a 10-foot radius around me, or you'll be caught in my spell."
The elite Magi of the Roy Family solemnly nodded before engaging in a brutal bloodbath. Meanwhile, the Magi stationed just beyond the walls desperately cast spells after spells to repair the damaged gate.
One of the Magi stationed atop the walls was viewing the fight happening on the battlefield with great fervor. Adam had lit up a fire within him that made him want to jump down and join the battle immediately.
But he had bigger responsibilites at the moment - to help repair the gate and the wall.
At that moment, he just so happened to look up at the sky above the battlefield and his eyes instantly turned wide as saucers.
"F-Flying beasts!" He sccreamed in panic, making sure that everyone heard him. "Flying beasts incoming! Get to cover!"
However, the goal of the flying beasts wasnt the Magi stationed inside the city or on the walls, but the ones fighting outside.
In the blink of an eye, the tides of war had shifted once again!
