In the Meditation Room, the ghostly blue light of the Deep Sea Echo Conch suddenly dimmed.
Allen's tightly shut eyes snapped open. His main consciousness instantly withdrew from the inscription of the fifth Core Matrix.
"Report our losses." The situation was urgent. Wasting no words, he connected directly to command.
[Demon Eye Mk. IV nodes 07 and 08 have been completely destroyed. Attack Type: Directed Magic Power beam. Peak reading: 5800. Penetration distance: 20,000 meters. Power decay approximately 12%.]
[Target is advancing directly toward Zone 18. It was last seen devouring the corpses of Magical Beasts along its path.]
The Demon Eyes were his eyes, the cornerstone of his entire over-the-horizon strike system.
Without guidance from their high-altitude vision, the Storm Falcons would be flying blind, and the Purgatory Platform's saturation fire would lose all accuracy. This was a loss Allen could not afford.
