As the battle unfolds, the entire city of Orario is united in a feeling of astonishment and curiosity. Lucius, the solitary mage on the battlefield, has become the center of attention, a topic that transcends all other conversations. Each new move of his is followed by a chorus of sighs and exclamations from the spectators. When he launches another ball of Chrono Chaos, triggering a wave of energy that sweeps his opponents, the audience reacts with a mix of shock and admiration. When he teleports to avoid a blow that seemed certain, they marvel at his agility and foresight. Orario, a city accustomed to heroes and legends, finds itself mesmerized by this new enigma, this mage whose power seems unlimited and whose story is only beginning to be written. And as Lucius continues to fight, each of his moves is etched into the city's collective memory, each spell and counterattack becoming part of the fabric of its history. He is no longer just a mage from a small rising family; he is a phenomenon, an event that no one in Orario will ever forget in this era.

The gods watch with a mix of surprise, concern, and admiration as Lucius continues his solitary battle. Each reacts in their own way, reflecting their personalities and interests. Apollo, usually so confident and cheerful, is on the brink of despair. He watches, powerless, as Lucius dismantles what remains of his family. "How is this possible?" he murmurs, his voice a reflection of his disbelief and frustration. "This arrogant mortal is beyond anything I expected." Heimdall, known for his imposing and proud stance, has a grave expression. He sees his own adventurers, powerful and well-trained, being defeated by a single man, one that he expelled from his family for being what he considered the weakest adventurer in Orario's history, but with the potential shown by Lucius in recent months, he wanted him back, but now with the war game taking this turn. "I can't believe this is happening..." He tries to deny reality.

Hestia, on the other hand, cannot contain her emotion. Her heart is filled with pride and joy as she sees Bell and the others watching, safe for now, while Lucius fights. "Lucius!" she exclaims, a mix of excitement, "You always save the day!" She begins to cry with joy. Beside Hestia, Hermes watches with an intense and calculating gaze, he is fascinated by Lucius's powers. "Interesting," he comments, more to himself than to others. "This mortal has abilities that go beyond the ordinary. Did he discover something that we gods are unaware of? Who are you really, Lucius Ranekard?" Beside him, his captain listens attentively, sharing a meaningful look with Hermes, knowing he is already planning his next actions.

The battle that Lucius waged is now approaching its climax. The remaining adventurers from the Heimdall and Apollo Families, despite their superior number and levels higher than this mage, are clearly exhausted and overwhelmed, their morale is no longer the mockery of the beginning. Their ranks have been decimated, and those who are still standing fight with a mix of despair and fury, knowing that their chances of victory are nil at this moment, with only 7 members still standing. Lucius, on the other hand, remains a figure hovering over the area. His mana seems inexhaustible, and his mastery over magic is such that each new spell he casts seems more powerful and precise than the previous one, he showed that he can cast spells with just a thought.

"Let's end this." Lucius decides, and he teleports to an even higher altitude of 200 meters with 4 consecutive teleports. "What is he doing-Nyah?" Carina commented a little alarmed, her thirst for revenge now turned into fear, even her captain had that feeling, everyone feared Lucius at that moment, and seeing him act in this way moving away to an even higher location, they knew he was going to do something even greater.

Suddenly, the mana particles in the air begin to come to life, Lucius has initiated his Mana Zone ability. Then, a radiant illumination emerges in the field around Lucius, expanding rapidly to form a majestic circle of light 250 meters in the air. The light is intense but not blinding; it's not a pure manifestation of the mage's magical power, but as if the mage, with a command or more like a partnership, made the magic in the air work with him at that moment. The magical particles cannot obscure the sunlight behind Lucius, but they give a mystical aspect with lights of various colors like a small beacon, standing out against the backdrop of the castle and the sky, drawing all eyes to his central figure.
