For seven days, the battles intensified. The battlefield had become an unrecognizable landscape, where unstable magic created fissures in the fabric of reality. Despite the efforts of Zone 12, the lack of cohesion and the overwhelming experience of Zone 21 tipped the scales. Slowly, the number of survivors dwindled, leaving only the most resilient and astute behind. In the end, Zone 21 secured its victory with precise strategies and devastating attacks, while Kayden watched from a distance. He knew that the real game had not yet begun and that his absolute power would not yet be needed.
It didn't take long for the number of magicians on both sides to be reduced to a small handful, with Zone 12 having only four magicians remaining, while Zone 21 had fifteen. It was an overwhelming difference in strength, or at least it should have been until the leader of Zone 12 stopped playing around and began to show his true face.
