Arthur's gaze shifted slightly. It was subtle. Almost unnoticeable.
But the man beside him, the S-class mage caught it immediately. He gave a small nod.
Then, with a cold wave of his hand, he gestured to the mages behind him. "Move."
Instantly, the figures waiting for order stepped forward. Mana fluctuations surged as spells were prepared. The air itself grew tense and heavy, like a storm about to break.
They were going to subdue them.

But before he could finish....
A low hum in the air as it twisted.
A terrifying pressure suddenly descended from above. The ground beneath the intruders groaned. Cracks spread across the courtyard stones like spiderwebs.
Several of the mages staggered. Some nearly fell to their knees.
"G.... gravity?!" one of them exclaimed in shock.
Lilith's eyes were glowing faintly. Rudeous had also raised his hand, sweat already forming on his brow.
Their magic overlapped. Two gravity fields stacked together.
