The power wielded by the Eldest, that of Gravity, was examined by the Mage caste many times. After all, it had shown incredible destructive power which could prove vital to the Colony, especially in times such as these, when the Eldest is asleep.

However, research was difficult to perform. Learning the Skill was difficult, so some mages were tasked with purchasing the Gravity Mana Organ and experimenting with its use. Despite our best efforts, pursuit of this magic was eventually abandoned.

To produce even the weaker effects that the Eldest was able to create was difficult for those who tried, and the more advanced spells were never replicated in any way. Even now, the Colony cannot simply produce high tier Mages whenever it chooses. The same amount of resources distributed over a wider number of ants will create a greater outcome in the long run.

For that reason, we believe the Eldest would support our decision.

That was… disgusting.

Seriously disgusting. I mean. Giga disgusting.

I wasn’t sure what to expect when I spread the Gravity Well out over such a large area. I mean, I’d packed it full of as much power as I could manage, but that’s a massive amount of space to cover. From edge to edge, that’s a circle with a two kilometre diameter! There must have been tens of thousands of demons packed into that space.

Forget that, probably well over a hundred thousand considering how many larvae there were.

I figured it might have turned out as a larger, weaker version of the domain spell I already had active. Maybe force the lower tier monsters down to the ground and hinder the stronger ones a bit. If that was all that happened, I would have been fine with that. Pleased, even.

Instead.

Shudder.
