>>6141267Instead of facing them directly in a contest of magical power, however, you use the first of your trump cards. Most of your Crystal Stars were known, hanging low enough in the sky to be seen as a display of power. But one of your Stars were much further from the planet, far away in the upper atmosphere. Locked in geosynchronous orbit directly above your home, a watchful sentry protecting your home from just such threats. And one that you'd told no one about, not even your wife. As the liches all start raising their staves, forming their own Dark Hole above them to no doubt send at your tower in an attempt to kill you or at least destroy your ability to most efficiently channel the power of this world, you raise your free left hand to the sky, then point it at them in a shape of a gun.
“Bang.” you say, activating the defense. Far in the upper upper reaches of your planet's atmosphere, your Crystal Star fires a single shot. The single crystal reaches terminal velocity in a second, and right as the enemy casters are about to fire their spell, you see it. Streaking through the air like a crashlanding Kryptonian, your spear from the heavens descends, slamming into the crest of the rise where the liches are gathered. None of them even realize what is about to happen before your pillar slams into the ground, obliterating not only the Dark Hole, but the liches, and even the entire hill they had just crested. Bracing yourself, a second later the shock wave slams into you and your tower, the air knocking even you back a step. But you keep your footing, watching as the smoke slowly begins to clear. “Heh. Your move, asshole.”
And so the battle continues for the next three or so hours, Velsharoon throwing threat after threat at you. But you counter them all, wielding the mana of your world to slay the otherworldly monsters and fiends, devils and dragons and other beings he sends after you. But as the battle continues, your body starting to actually thrum and vibrate from the sheer amount of mana you've channeled through your body. And that's not the only change, you finding your awareness slowly expanding. At first your awareness was only the area within your Paledrake's Lair, but as the battle continues, your connection to this world's mana deepening, you become aware of more. On Rimuru's continent he and Ainz are battling to take control of the final Crystal Star under undead control at the site of your first near-fatal battle with the Lich Demigod, Velsharoon, not having brought your weapon he conquered here to your home. No doubt afraid you would have turned it against him once more.
