The shot a beam of power soaring through the skies, piercing through the magic sphere that surrounded Michael. The wizards felt their connection with the 8 - star spell break, severing the mana they built up so far. An overwhelming sense of exhaustion coursed through their bodies. They had completely used up all the mana in their cores, leaving them completely spent and tired. Just then, the skies emitted a bright light. Everyone looked up to see a single star shining in the distance, flickering like any other heavenly bodies before it. But after a few seconds, the star became ever so bigger and ever so brighter. Before the wizards could even wonder what was happening, a single beam of light instantaneously appeared, connecting the lone star in the skies and reaching down towards one of the wizard's stomach, destroying the mana cores contained inside. But as it turned out, this beam of light had curved and hit the next wizard, and the next, and the next, creating an almost circular connection with the star in the skies. A macabre image of the wizards being strung up and skewered like pearls on a necklace became an image that would never leave the memory of anyone who saw it from down below. The wizards looked down at the beam of Unity light piercing their stomachs, before passing out from pure exhaustion and injury. All their years of cultivation and hard work was destroyed when the pierced through their cores. The beam of light slowly dissipated, severing its connection with the star above the skies, which slowly lost all its luster and hid within the black void of space.

Just before they crashed to their deaths, a shadowy figure emerged from down below and cushioned their landing, saving them from certain death. Michael thought it would be too cruel for them to die now that he had already crippled their power. He had his shadows wrap themselves around the unconscious wizards of Flarecorp and transfer them over to the prison in the Nation of Reborn. Meanwhile, he himself stayed hovering in the air. He looked up, but the apparition of the metallic woman was already long gone. She disappeared as soon as the Unity Gun shot off into skies. Her last words to him echoed in his mind. …build me…, she said. Her words were drowned out by the intense power of the that Michael almost mistook it for his imagination. But it was definitely real. Who do you think that was? he asked ChatJK4.
