Gweheheh. With my superior magic, I don’t even need to worry about chasing my opponents down. If I can keep them in their defensive half without even moving, then that seems like it would be the logical way to play.

I wonder if there’s a way for them to deal with it? I wouldn’t think so, given my higher ranked Skills and mind constructs.These young ants will gain those things in time, but for now, I hold the advantage of being older! I’ve had more time to work on this stuff!

I wonder if I can use my magic on the offence as well?

[The Eldest has certainly displayed their magical prowess and I’m certain the Endless must be at least a little shaken by that. They’ve brought a mage-heavy team here today and it doesn’t seem to be helping them at all!

At tier seven, the Eldest has a huge advantage that doesn’t seem to be offset by being outnumbered at all. One versus ten, and they are crushing this game!]

“I have to admit, I’m a little awed by what we’ve seen in this match so far. You may be a little more experienced with powerful monsters, but I’ve never seen what a creature as highly evolved as the Great One can do.”

[It certainly is impressive. Speaking of which, I believe we may be just about to see the Eldest begin their next offence. Will we see another of those unstoppable charges? Or something different?]
