Seeing Commander Nov charging towards them, Ethan quickly asked, "What's the most powerful Magic spell, you know?"

"That Aquatic Slash I used a while ago was the most powerful Magic spell I learned. I've also done a Magic Integration for it, so I don't need to chant its incantation anymore." Crown Prince Edward replied.

"How many more times could you still use it?" Ethan followed after.

All the Magic spells can be used for however many times a Mage wanted, but every time they casted a Magic spell, especially for the Star level Mages, they would need to expend the Mana inside their Stars. Although the Stars could also keep on absorbing Mana from their surrounding, the speed of that sometimes can't match the amount of Mana the Mages uses. That's why there are times when a Mage still runs out of Mana and for this reason, Magic spells that require a lot of Mana to cast can no longer be used. No, they can still cast the Magic spell, only that it will become much weaker compared to when there was still enough Mana.

Such knowledge is extremely important to know for all of the Mages, especially during a fight, so that they won't become useless or passive once they can no longer use some important Magic spells they have in their arsenal. It's mostly the most powerful Magic spell, or the most used Magic spell a Mage has that needed them to pay strict attention to their limit because normally it's those kinds of Magic spells that have a limit of usage.

"My limit is 5 before I need to start recuperating my Mana." Crown Prince Edward quickly responded as he understood what Ethan wanted to know.

"Good!" Ethan nodded in relief. After using one Aquatic Slash, Edward still has 4 chances of using that Galaxy level Magic spell, which is, in his opinion, enough to set up an opportunity for Leo to attack with the war weapons and Magic spells from the wall.

After knowing that important information, Ethan then gripped his Magic sword tightly as he prepared himself for Commander Nov's attack.

Clangggg!

Whooooosh!

Ethan and Commander Nov's Magic swords clashed with each other, causing a shockwave to spread out towards their surrounding, which right after destroyed the clouds up in thy sky. Even Crown Prince Edward wasn't spared as he was pushed backward by a few meters before stabilizing himself in the air.

"Flaming shot!" Crown Prince Edward quickly casted to support Ethan.

Whooosh!

Whooosh!

Whooosh!

Hundreds or so of fireballs shoot towards Commander Nov, who was in lockdown with Ethan.

"Fireball!"

"Fireball!"

Both Ethan and Commander Nov casted Fireball spell at the same time with their other free hand as they both quickly thrown a punch to one another to propel their bodies backward using the explosion that the Fireball caused and hence dodging Crown Prince Edward's Flaming shot spell.

Suddenly though, before Commander Nov could escape the range of Crown Prince Edward's Flaming shot spell, Ethan put his hand up in front and casted, "Flaming Prison!"

Whoooosh!

A prison made entirely of flame immediately appeared to imprisoned Commander Nov, causing him not to continue propelling backward and he was also unable to escape from the range of Crown Prince Edward's Flaming shot spell.

Booom!

Booom!

Booom!

"Earth Pillar!"

Whoooosh!

Whoooosh!

Two Earth pillars appeared above and below Commander Nov, who was still imprisoned inside the Flaming Prison spell and receiving the assault of the Flaming shot spell.

The two earth pillars immediately went straight towards Commander Nov.

BOOOOOOM!

An explosion followed after the Flaming Prison was destroyed after being squashed by the two earth pillars.

"Is he done for?"

Whooosh!

Whooosh!

Whooosh!

Contrary to Ethan and Crown Prince Edward's expectations, multiple sword waves shoot all around the places, causing the two earth pillars to be sliced into pieces.

"Was that the best you both could do to me? Hahahaha!" Commander Nov's voice inside the cloud of dust said before laughing loudly.

"Aquatic Slash!"

Whaaaaaash!

Before Commander Nov's laughter could fade away though, a sword wave made out of surging water shoot towards in the middle of the cloud of dust.

Boooom!

Without wasting any time, Ethan and Crown Prince Edward quickly casted more Magic spells to follow up with the Aquatic Slash.

"Hail!"

"Whirlpool!"

"Whirlwind Slash!"

"Lightning Strike!"

"Metal Spike!"

Dozens of ice spikes from the sky was formed before shooting towards the middle of the cloud of smoke, followed after by a circling tornado of water, then dozens or so of sharp blades made out of wind afterwards was a lightning strike from the sky, lastly were hundreds or so of metal spikes piercing straight.

The moment those Magic spells came inside the cloud of smoke, Commander Nov suddenly exclaimed, "Pantheon of Light!"

BOOOOOM!

An explosion of light exploded in the middle of the cloud of smoke, revealing Commander Nov in the middle, no scratch nor any kind of injury were found around his body.

Seeing this, Ethan and Crown Prince Edward were momentarily stunned before preparing themselves for defense. It was obviously Commander Nov's turn to attack.

"Childs play!" Commander Nov said as the Magic sword in his hand shone with bright light, "Pantheon of Light!"

Whoooooooosh!

Dozens or so of blades made out entirely of light shoot towards Ethan and Crown Prince Edward.

Clang!

Clang!

Ethan blocked two blades of light as he quickly retreated backward to help Crown Prince Edward.

Clang!

Unfortunately, with how many and powerful the blade of lights was, it was very difficult for Ethan to reach Crown Prince Edward.

Clang!

Clang!

On the other hand, Crown Prince Edward already has his hand numb just after blocking two blades of lights, and there were more incoming towards him.

Clang!

Crown Prince Edward defended one more blade of lights before he was finally unable to defend himself from the other one, causing him to shoot straight down to the ground.

Whoooosh!

However, before he could reach to the ground, Crown Prince Edward immediately stabilized himself.

"Damn, what was that!" Crown Prince Edward swore before quickly flying to the side to dodge more blades of lights chasing after him. He used the buildings as the cover for the attack.

Fortunately, there were no civilians inside the nearby houses since it was near the walls, meaning it would be the most dangerous location during the battle. Because of that, he was able to not hesitate choosing to do this. If there were any civilians, then he would have no choice but to go to the battlefield instead and use the Silver royal family's soldiers as a meat shield. Though it would definitely be difficult to use them as a shield compared to using buildings, since buildings were naturally tougher than the Human body.

Seeing that Crown Prince Edward was fine, Ethan brandished his Magic sword as he did a Short Distance Blink spell and appeared in front of Commander Nov. He then quickly slashed towards the latter's Magic armor. But before he could do that, a Magic sword swiftly blocked him.

"Unlucky for you, but I ain't falling for such trick!" Commander Nov smiled.

"Is that so, but how about this!" Ethan said before unexpectedly releasing a wave of electricity from his Magic sword straight towards Commander Nov's Magic sword, "Lightning!"

Szzzhhhh!

Lightning current traveled from Commander Nov's Magic sword before sending a shock to his entire body.

Booom!

Commander Nov flew backward before stabilizing himself. He was momentarily stunned by what had just happened to him. He clearly remembers that he hasn't taught Fourth Prince Ethan such a trick in the past.

"What a worthy trick to learn from Queen Maria!" Ethan exclaimed inwardly. This was actually the same trick that Queen Maria had used back before when Barbara blocked her attack, though the Magic spell she had used at that time was Thunder spell, which is more powerful than Lightning spell by dozens of folds.

"Let's keep on going!" Ethan said before dashing straight towards Commander Nov, not letting the latter take any breather.

"Fool!" Commander Nov exclaimed as he brandished his Magic sword to counter-attack Ethan's attack.

"Is that so!" Ethan smiled before casting, "Earth Pillar!"

Whooosh!

Whooosh!

Two Earth pillars stocking with each other appeared before shooting straight towards Commander Nov.

Whooosh!

Booom!

Commander Nov was easily able to destroy the first earth pillar, but he was unable to send another attack to the second one in time, thus his body was hit, causing him to start falling to the ground.

Crown Prince Edward was already waiting down below as he swings his Magic sword the moment he saw Commander Nov falling towards his direction, "Aquatic Slash!"

WHAAAAAAAAASH!

A sword wave made out of surging water current shoot towards the falling Commander Nov.

Seeing this, Commander Nov moved his hand as he casted, "Earth Wall!"

Whooosh!

"Wind Shield!"

Whooosh!

"Holy Shield!"

Whooosh!

"Water Barrier!"

Whooosh!

"Ice Chain!"

Four different Defensive Magic spells were casted, before they were stacked together by the Ice Chain, as a result forming a new entire shield made up of Earth Wall, Wind Shield, Holy Shield, and Water Barrier.

BOOOOOOM!

The Aquatic Slash hit the shield that Commander Nov has casted, causing it to explode with the Aquatic Slash, unfortunately, blocked successfully.

However, Crown Prince Edward's attack didn't end there as he quickly casted a Short Distance Blink spell and appeared beside Commander Nov. He right after swing his Magic sword.

Boooom!

The Magic sword hit Commander Nov's Magic armor, causing him to fly up. But his body first hit the stone pillar that was pushing him down just now to the ground in the process and destroyed it before finally shooting towards Ethan.

"Hail!"

"Blizzard!"

Ethan quickly combined Hail spell and Blizzard spell to summon and strengthen the hundreds of ice spikes that were formed around him. With a wave of his hand, the hundreds of ice spikes came raining down towards Commander Nov.

"Pantheon of Light!"

Whooosh!

Whooosh!

Whooosh!

Dozens of blades of light appeared as it quickly defended Commander Nov from the ice spikes.

"Ice Prison!"

Whoooosh!

A prison made out of ice suddenly appeared to imprisoned Commander Nov inside. With the Blizzard spell up on the air, the Ice Prison spell was immediately strengthened further.

This was Ethan's intention for using Hail spell a Blizzard spell first, in order to make Commander Nov unable to use his strongest attack, which is the Pantheon of Light, for a few seconds, consequently giving them the perfect opportunity to execute their plan.

"Now!" Ethan exclaimed.

Hearing Ethan's exclamation, Crown Prince Edward brandished his Magic sword for one last time and casted, "Aquatic Slash!"

WHAAAAAAAASH!

Commander Nov who saw the incoming Aquatic Slash only smiled as he silently whispered to himself, "Fools!" With him being in the inside of the fortified Ice Prison spell, it was as good as having a fortified shield.

What Commander Nov didn't know though was that Crown Prince Edward's attack wasn't actually intending to target him with the Aquatic Slash but rather to destroy the Ice Prison itself and cause a cold mist to hinder his vision of his surrounding.

Down below the south wall, Leo formed a mischievous smile on his face before he pointed the Death Wake Dagger towards the temporarily blinded Commander Nov and exclaimed, "Fire!!"
