Using Impulse and the strength of his legs, Rain jumped with all his might upward. He got surprised when he reached fifty meters of height, but soon he focused on the task ahead. When he began to fall, he covered both of his knees with earth magic, and then he hit the ground.

The whole area began to tremble in the next moment, and the enemies started to lose their balance. The fire tornadoes began to dissipate thanks to their lack of focus, and so the mercenaries and soldiers began to charge at them. Rain didn't have the physical strength to cause an earthquake.

However, he used all of his remaining mana to cause underground fissures that caused the earthquake… It was the same thing that he had done before when he found the tunnels, but this time, he didn't have to be cautious, and that had been the result.

Rain's Allies reached the area where he was, and they began to slaughter the enemies. The heat sorcerers only had time to cast a few Fireballs this time. Still, while roaring like mad beasts, the soldiers and mercenaries ignored the pain caused by those attacks.

The heat sorcerers began to fall like twigs, and those who managed to survive the onslaught were quickly losing ground and returning to the wall.

"Geez, you are truly something else," Jori said, and the others arrived with him, quickly making a circle to protect Rain while Terra was healing Rain.

Terra didn't have much mana left, but at least she made Rain feel some relief while the others were pushing back the enemies further. Rain wondered if that had been enough as an opening… it felt like they were a bit far away from their goal. Still, Rain looked to the side and then saw Branden walking ahead while he was being guarded by a bunch of guards, and before long, he began to cast his spell.

Much to Rain's surprise, the guy just closed his eyes and then began to focus. He imagined that Branden would do something else. Still, soon a giant and spinning Fireball showed up in front of him that made everyone around sweat a lot.

Upon realizing that some bad news was coming for them, the enemies began to shoot numerous Fireballs toward Branden. However, all of their attacks were absorbed by the Fireball. While they were called Heat Sorcerers, Branden was more skilled than them.

Still, the enemies had the quicksand executioners on the walls, and while they couldn't Branden sinks in quicksand from that distance, they could erect several earth walls and protect the gate further, and so they did it.

Some soldiers tried to charge and knock down the walls somehow; they were superhumans, after all. Still, before they could do that, Branden fired his spell. A blast of wind spread in all directions when the Fireball was shouted. That caught everyone off guard, and they blinked out of reflex, only to see afterward the spell consuming the walls instantly before reaching the gate covered in stone.

The impact of the attack could have been felt throughout the city. Even Rain's earthquake couldn't be compared to that… a curtain of dust and smoke choked the skies while numerous screams and grunts of agony echoed in the area. Debris began to fall like rain until all that was dissipated, and then it revealed a massive hole in the wall of the city.

Beyond it, everyone could see their allies charging toward it.

At that moment, the magic people realized that they had lost. They stopped moving altogether while the enemies were charging. They didn't expect that they would be caught off guard like that, and they certainly didn't expect that a single human could be that much better than him at magic… still when the soldiers began to cross the gate, they recovered from the shock and began to shout as well.

They were going down, but they were going down on a blaze of glory.

"Leave the rest to us and make sure to keep Lord Branden safe," The white mustache old man said.

Jori and everyone else nodded and then retreated a bit from the area to escape from the chaos that was unfolding. While half of the group still could fight, the others had exhausted their mana and needed that break, just like Branden, who looked completely wasted.

"Phew, this is too much emotion for my daily life," Branden said while sitting on the ground and facing down. "I am beaten.".

Although Branden said that and was acting like an average dude, the others sure looked amazed at his skill and powers… who could have thought that Tristan would fall on a single day of a siege? No one but Branden's presence changed things a lot.

If the kingdom had mages of his caliber, Rain imagined that they would be used to recover Tristan… but since they didn't, it was clear that Branden was the best mage they had.

The group watched the battle end… while their side had fewer people, the main army outnumbered the enemies on the walls five to one. Some of them died trying to reach the wall, but once they arrived, the magic people began to be disposed of at fearsome speeds. From a distance, Rain watched men and women infuriated thanks to the war and the enemies.

Rain was certain that most of them didn't lose a lot in the last ten years of war, but they still felt quite pissed, to the point that some of them chopped the limbs of some of the magic people before beheading them. It looked like they didn't think that their screams of agony would haunt them… Rain commended them for that; he would rather not do it, though. It was better to be safe than sorry.
