――Al Shario.
This spell, regarded as a specialty of a Witch of yore, was one accepted to be a forbidden technique.
Shining down from beyond the sky, stars were perpetually burning masses of Mana, and by utilizing the property of attraction between Mana of the same type, the unbelievable marvel of casting one to the earth could be realised.
But naturally, to bring a star down upon a precise location required both delicate control over magic and an unfathomable quantity of Mana. In exchange for the difficulty of realizing such a technique, the Mana contained in the star’s light could rival that held by a Great Spirit, and was even extolled to have once felled a weyr of Dragons.
In terms of destructive power, it easily surpassed even the ruinous breath of Dragons, beings bestowed with the right to tear the world asunder with just their roar, and so it could therefore be proclaimed to be the pinnacle of destructive acts.
???: [Magic, it is a miraculous discipline with the hidden potential to make anything one imagines into reality, were you unaware? The creation of a spell so powerful that it would cause one to scoff at something like a Dragon’s breath was inevitable once you consider the existence of those who wished to surpass it… Eventually, a spell even more powerful than the magic capable of plunging a star will be born. Is it not wonderful, that humans truly possess such Greed?]
Such had once been stated to Aldebaran by a Witch with beautiful white hair, a smug expression drawn upon her face.
It was still irritating to remember her smug face from back then, but he did believe that it was no lie or bluff. After all, that smug-faced Witch had personally shown him the real thing.
In other words, this, which surpassed even the breath of a Dragon, stood as the zenith―― or rather, stood as the zenith of destruction at this point in history. —Arc 9, Chapter 14, "The Strongest"
