The overwhelming display of power and the irresistible might Blazelle represented on behalf of the Flarecorp effectively shifted the Bastard Bandits' opinion.
At first, almost all of them were adamantly against surrendering their self-rule to the hands of Flarecorp. But now, after they had witnessed Blazelle in action—and what she was capable of, what Flarecorp was capable of—they realized that any kind of resistance was futile. In a head-on battle, they simply had no chance against them.
And she was just the third-in-command.
The very thought that two individuals even more powerful than her stood above her in terms of hierarchy sent chills down their spines. Yet, the Bandits knew that the strange apparition of fire standing guard above her was enough to decimate them all.
It shattered everything they thought they knew about power and mana.
It was like witnessing real magic in a world that had only ever known the play of hands.
And what they don't understand… they fear.
