The attack that never reached

"The real fight is about to begin!" I called out when the anti-mana monsters broke past a single kilometer left before they would reach us. 

And they were closing in fast. 

Just like one would expect from those formless beings, they didn't have a set appearance. Instead, they would morph their bodies to suit whatever purpose they were targeting. 

And just like that, I could see monsters with tens if not hundreds of legs. Others would decrease the number of their limbs while taking on aerodynamical shapes. There were even some that went as far as developing wings...!

But not a single one of them managed to fly. The most the winged monsters could do was leap forward, and dive through the air with their wings spread out as much as they could with all the other monsters around them before landing and repeating the process.
