All the wizards in the meeting room saw that even though the ranking stone indicated that Anton was still an archmage, everyone noticed that the indicator was showing that Anton would only need a few more "power points" and he would reach the Supreme Rank. Anton was also aware of that. He knew that once he was done with the current ladder season of his Diablo II game inside his system, he would probably officially enter the ranks of Supreme Wizards.

"Look at that. You will probably become a Supreme Wizard by the time you're 20 years old. You can count wizards that age that reached that rank in one hand," One of the wizards said to Anton.

After that comment, everyone introduced themselves to him. Anton tried his best to memorize the names and faces of the wizards there since all of them were powerful, supreme wizards. He did not want to offend any of them. When everyone was done, it was time for Anton to introduce himself. He knew that just saying his name and his birthplace wasn't enough, so he gave a summary of his life from the time his family started running from the Undead Coalition till they reached this continent.

While he was telling his life story, Anton could hear the battle that was going in beyond the door. He knew that the undead attack started around seven in the evening, and several powerful mage teams were on standby to replace the ones utilizing the long-range and magical strengthening arrays.

After he was done telling his story, Cedon appointed himself to teach Anton a lot of things he needed to know while he was assigned to them. According to Cedon, the ten magic arrays were truly the center of the defense of the west wall. Each section of the wall only had a single long-range array, but the center had ten, and not only would it allow the spellcasters utilizing the array to have an extremely long range in casting their spells, but the power of their spells would also going to be magnified.

For safety reasons, there were several groups of mage teams assigned to the center section of the main wall.

Anton then asked a question that had been bothering him for a while.

"Why don't we bring the battle to them? Why are we remaining passive here?"

"On the first few days that Mendoza was attacked, we did try to bring the fight where the Undead Coalition had landed. Unfortunately, the undead were prepared. You must have heard rumors that the ones leading the invasion were three semi-divine liches? It wasn't true. The one leading the invasion is a divine Monarch Lich. We lost a lot of Supreme Wizards that day, and we believe that half of them became liches or vampires, which made the coalition more powerful. Now, we do have a divine wizard in Mendoza, but if Divine Wizards fight each other, a lot of the land would be devastated, and there is a chance that Mendoza would not survive that fight. There was even a chance that our Divine Wizard might lose. We were informed that the Divine Lich from the Coalition is a truly powerful being that was several thousand years old," Cedon said with a grim tone.

Anton sighed at the fact that the truly powerful beings that stood on top of organizations of this world were truly powerful. It humbled him. He thought that he was starting to become powerful enough to make a difference, but now he knew that he was still very far away from that.

At around ten minutes before midnight, all the wizards in the room stood up and headed towards the ten magic arrays on the wall. Anton and Cedon followed them. The magic arrays had no rankings, so the wizards just randomly entered the arrays. Cedon chose the tenth array and Anton chose the one beside Cedon's.

The moment Anton viewed the army that was coming through the array's lenses, he couldn't help but gasp at the enormity of the undead horde. He thought that the horde was one hundred times larger than the one that had attacked the section he was in the night before.

Anton felt that with the size of the army that was attacking the center sections, all of his spells would probably look like stones thrown at an ocean with minimal effect. He then turned his attention to the defenders beneath the wall, and he could see that the melee fighters there all looked extremely powerful. Their gears glowed like twinkling stars, which was a testament to the powerful effects of their enchantments, and the eyes of the defenders looked like those hardened soldiers who had seen a thousand wars and were ready to fight a thousand more.

He knew that those powerful melee defenders were citizens of Mendoza, probably ready to lay their lives in the defense of their home.

Anton contemplated what his reaction would be if he were the one who was asked by a kingdom to lay his life in defense of his home; he would have said that he would not have the courage to do so. He lived a very short, unfulfilled life back on Earth and would not want to experience the same thing in this new world.

But he was tired of running. Ever since Anton had transmigrated to this world, it felt to him that he had been doing nothing but running away. If Mendoza fell, he would return to Ormunda, since that was where the manor was, where his father was staying, and the magic academy where his sister was studying. There, if worse comes to worst and Ormunda was attacked by the Undead Coalition, he would not run anymore and do everything in his power to defend it, even if it might cost him his life.

Of course, Anton would not sell his life cheaply. He would make sure that the Undead would venerate his name as an enemy who laid down countless undead.

The moment he heard the alarm that stated that the undead horde was now within the magic array's range, Anton immediately started to cast his spell rotation. First, he made sure that all of his gear was ready, including his weapon, which was the Death's Fathom Dimensional Shard. He saw that the wizards noticed his glowing wand, and if he must say so, the shard was a gorgeous piece of equipment. He had always been wearing his other gear that he transferred from the game to reality, like his Harlequin "Shako" Crest headgear, his Chains of Honor armor that he was wearing beneath his mage robes, the Beast Collar Amulet, and his Arachnid Mesh Spiderweb Sash.

Coupled with all of his gear that his Sorceress character was wearing, which was reflected in reality, and the stats that he had earned from leveling up his ladder characters, Anton was currently at his peak.

Anton first cast his Frozen Orb spell five times in a row. He then cast the Meteor spell five times in a row, then he cast his Hydra Spell ten times in a row, then the Fire Wall spell five times in a row, then the Blizzard spell five times in a row, then Chain Lightning five times in a row, then rinse and repeat. He focused on casting his Sorceress spells since his equipment, both in-game and out of the game, was geared towards enhancing the Sorceress's skill tree.

Because the magic array also enhanced the effect of spells, Anton could see that the area of effect and the damage of his spells were greatly enhanced. At first, he thought that because of the sheer size of the undead horde, his spells would look and feel like he was tossing stones in a river, but his spell casting did have a great impact on the enemy horde.
