And then, at the center of the desert� There was a black whirlwind roaring there.

It was so large and black that everybody could see it.
The whirlwind seemed to shoot up to pierce through the sky.

Eruhaben started to float.

�W, where are you going? W, what about us?�

One of the nobles who noticed Eruhaben floating urgently asked while Eruhaben ignored him and started to speak to Valentino.

�I will go up to take a better look, sir.�
�S sure.�

Eruhaben left Valentino in Gashan�s care as he shot into the air. His gaze was focused on the black whirlwind� On the center of the desert.

That was where the fake underground city was located.

Boooom! Boom!

Boulders started to fall into the underground city as the ceiling crumbled.

�Aaaaaah!�
�Dodge them! Stop blanking out and dodge!�
�My liege!�

The Lions and the rest of the White Star�s subordinates were dodging or destroying the boulders without knowing what to do. It was not that they were afraid of the crumbling underground city.
They were afraid of the dead mana smoke that would soon fill the area.

There was already a small amount of dead mana smoke coming in through the crumbling ceiling.

However, their liege did not even look toward them.

�Are you going to run?�

Cale looked toward the White Star in disbelief. Next to the White Star was Sayeru, who was surrounded by the wind walls, as well as the black mages who had been up above ground.

�Isn�t that losing too much face?�

Cale mocked him while the White Star calmly responded.

�I don�t think you have any right to say that as you retreat into a teleportation magic circle.�

Cale had started to head toward the center of the city as soon as the ceiling started to crumble. JrNovels.com
