From his subordinates, Calgurio had received many despairing reports.

The situation was very grim; it's evident that this war was a failure.

It had already reached the point where the odds of retreating out of the forest alive were questionable.

Despite their overwhelming advantage in numbers, they couldn't push through the enemy's impregnable defensive formation; the enemy was fighting with fervor.

The sorcery cannon and magician's wide-scale magic were all completely tanked by the enemy's defensive barrier, unable to exert their effects.

By the time Calgurio had linked the dots, he had already realized that he was backed against a wall.

But, it was already too late.

The situation had escalated swiftly.

A new enemy had emerged. That troop was the living embodiment of terror.

Their numbers hardly reach one-tenth of their own, yet they could do nothing against it.

According to the reports of the energy measurement team, there were several individuals with a vast quantity of magical essence within them.

However, the majority of enemy troops, their energy values were comparable to that of their own forces.

The number of A rank monsters isn't a lot.

From within the enemy's impregnable formation, unparalleled wide-scale magic was unleashed.

Due to the strikes from the enemy magic and Youjutsu, there were a great number of causalities in the empire's forces.

The objective of the purple armored troops was to spread unified fear, causing the empire's armies to fall into confusion, eventually noticing the barrier weakening.

However, if it was only to this extent, they could still regroup.

when the vanguards begin to collapse, the rearguards could provide support, change positions with the vanguards and regroup.

This was possible precisely because of their overwhelming advantage in numbers, a sure-win strategy.

A type of nuclear strike magic, "Gravity Collapse"

Causing gravitational magnetic fields to run rampart like that of a star, it creates a localized high-intensity gravity field.

It wasn't a magic confirmed in the past, but rather the amalgamation of the empire's technology, the knowledge from another world, and a compilation of theories creating a new type of wide-scale magic being researched upon.

"Look, Bazan and Raiha are already dead. Colonel Kansas and Major General Minutes too.
In addition, 2 Otherworlders'. There are monsters in there that can't be taken down even with that kind of power.
We've detected a grand magic just now, but we're afraid that's not the demon lord.
Several Arc demon class monsters had already been identified within the dungeon.
Furthermore, there are even Demon Lord classes. That magic we've detected, it's most likely used by one such individual.
Retreat now. There's no shame in this, decide quickly!"
