With one strike from the Demon Annihilation Cannon, Tawa's miracle was destroyed, and only then did Rocky turn and leave, his actions clearly telling everyone that the previous refrain from attacking was merely because he didn't want to waste time, that's all.
As Rocky walked away, Erwin, who was also at the bow of the flagship, was momentarily stunned, then let out an angry roar!
He didn't know exactly what had transpired between Rocky and Tawa, but he could clearly sense the insult in Rocky's manner, a barefaced affront! And beyond the insult, what infuriated Erwin even more was the loss of yet another commander.
In the first conflict, the entire First Fleet had been annihilated, with the loss of more than two hundred warships and countless Void Magic Warriors—all perished. Even the fleet commander, Kexif, had met his end in the skies. This was a colossal loss for Erwin.
