The Magic Wars Part 4 of 4
This story is continued from Legion of Super-Heroes #62.
Synopsis:
Most of the Legion battle Archmage in the skies above Sorcerers' World. When the battle seems to be failing Dawnstar, Ultra Boy, and Wildfire leave to bring reinforcements. Brainiac 5 and Dream Girl return. Star Boy and Cosmic Boy also join the fight.
Eventually, several of the Legionnaires reach the surface where the wizards are leaving the planet. The White Witch elects to stay and fight. However, her power is not enough to stop Archmage. Dream Girl senses that Sorcerers' World is destined to be destroyed. When the Legion lets that happen, Archmage dooms himself. His own power was tied to the planet and without it, he is destroyed.
The Legion is victorious, but is left with the monumental task of cleaning up the universe from the damage.
