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?

“That’s going to cause a few problems,” Leonidant remarked as the Endless picked themselves back up.

“I quite agree. The Eldest overwhelms us in both magic and physical ability.”

“Then why do you seem so excited?”

“Let’s just say I’m happy this match is living up to my expectations.”

[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?]

Great One appears… to be utilising their magic! They’ve taken hold of the ball using wind mana. The Endless seamlessly flow into a defence. Walls are going up,

I want to say inhuman, but that much is obvious. Absurd. Unbelievable. It happened in the blink of an eye, folks, and still, the Eldest has snatched the ball and Solant clean from
