This wasn't what they were told.
'No way…'
The Corrupted were never informed of this possibility.
'H-how is this happening?!'
They had expected the Elves to be crushed so pitifully that the battle would give them great pleasure. They had hoped to see despair, pain, death, and even more destruction.
However, their expectations were shattered by the unprecedented performances of the Elves and their allies.
'HOW DO THEY HAVE AETHER?!'

Aurora grinned softly as she focused her gaze on the maddened Corrupted who stood a far distance away, writhing in both awe and rage.
She was once again grateful for the introduction of Aether to the Elves—especially in preparation for this fight. Aurora realized now that without such a powerful source on their side, their demise would have been a foregone conclusion.
How, then, did they gain access to this power? The answer was simple.
They didn't.
None of them could generate any Aether. They could hardly even control the energy that was introduced to them so abruptly. However, because they couldn't generate it, didn't mean that they couldn't manufacture it.
Thanks to a brilliant human girl named Anabelle Frederick, who came up with the process, and the investment made by Jane Ursula, they were able to create something revolutionary.
The Aether Conversion Mechanism.
Simply put, it converted Mana or Miasma into Aether by condensing it and isolating the purest particles while dispersing the other foreign elements—thus creating a fluid and clean energy known as Aether.
Of course, this was simply the energy itself.
Converting the energy into useful stuff like Spells and Magical Techniques was another huge leap. The whole technical process had gone over Aurora's head when they had tried explaining things to her, but the gist of it was quite simple.
By making devices that could conduct the energy, while also imbuing Magic Formulas on them, they would be able to utilise Aether as Magic. This was a more practical adaptation of Jared's Spell Cards.
Weapons, artefacts, and even Automatons were imbued with Magic Formulas that allowed them to transform the raw Aether into energy.
With this revolution in Magic and Technology, however, came a problem.
'Resources. Limited Mana Reserves…' Aurora began to use her staff, already possessing the Aether property.
The problem with the Aether Conversion Mechanism was how much Mana it consumed. To produce Aether suitable for one person, they had to sacrifice over a thousand people's worth of Mana.
As such, they could only produce a limited amount of Aether—any more would adversely affect the Elven Lands and the climate.
Another major problem with artificially utilizing Aether was the finite nature of the energy. Sooner or later, they would run out. Aurora knew her people couldn't keep this up forever.
'We have to end this… and fast!'
With that single thought, the energy around her staff climbed to a terrifying degree, and three arrows materialised in an instant.
They were aimed at various locations, and they spun swiftly, increasing in power with every rotation.
"Harbinger Of Rupture… Threefold!"
Aurora directed this blast at the leaders of the army—the Corrupted.
In a flash, she released them, sending a swift and powerful strike to the enemies. Thanks to their paralyzing shock, they could not react quickly enough to defend themselves. And as a result…
