A mother's wrath

"M... Mother", I managed to call out her name.

In this suffocating space filled with Mother's mana, I could feel her anger. The man also looked at her warily. After all, he was dealing with someone who was far stronger than I was.

"I hope you wrote your will. I'll make sure you die a painful death", she snapped her fingers and the air in front of him exploded.

The sheer force of the air knocked him away. I gulped down. That chantless snapping magic was called "Noisy Rest." It shouldn't have that much force since all it could do was distract an opponent for a second. Noisy Rest was similar to a firecracker exploding

However, mother's Noisy Rest was too powerful. It was at the level of Rapid Bombardment already. This must be the power of Arcanum Quinta.

An Arcanum was called the "magician's organ." It would help in making a magician produce mana rapidly while also boosting their mana output and mana capacity.

Each Arcanum would start out with having only one seal which is the Arcanum Primera. A magician would have to condition their body and improve their mana control before upgrading their Arcanum. It took me several years before I upgraded my Arcanum to be able to release until Arcanum Tercera. I wasn't capable of further improving my Arcanum to reach Arcanum Cuarta because my body wasn't fit to handle the massive mana that came with it.

That was why I was in awe when I saw my mother use Arcanum Quinta. I heard about her. She was from a long line of distinguished magicians in Germany and was an S-ranked magician. Despite those things, mother refused the offer of becoming part of the Ten Aspects of Truth.

The man looked at mother and back at me. He sighed and tried to run away.

"The mystery that cannot be reached

Is something that I am seeking.

The truth that is in front of me

Is something I shall never let go.

The day when I lose what I want

Is the day that I shall die!" mother chanted and a barrier surrounded the area.

This was an A-ranked barrier magic. Even that man would have problems escaping.

"The sound of the cannon explodes.

The firing of the guns shall rapidly commence.

My enemy, whether one or many,

Shall cease to exist after this attack.

Come forth, Lethal Bombardment!" Mother shouted.

Countless magic circles appeared above her and shot powerful blasts of mana bolts. I gulped down. If Rapid Bombardment was a C-ranked magic, then Lethal Bombardment was A-ranked. Each blast of Lethal Bombardment was at least five times stronger than Rapid Bombardment. And each bolt of mana formed by Rapid Bombardment had the same strength as a modern tank's shot.

The landscape changed as the ground was filled with holes. Even the man didn't get out of it unscathed. Blood was flowing down from several injuries on his body and he was panting heavily.

He gathered darkness on his fist and charged at mother. She then snapped her fingers and the air in front of him exploded.

"The wrath of nature in the form of lightning

Shall pass swift judgment against my enemy.

The holy lightning that is created from my bond with nature
