Danmaku, my skills refresh weekly.

"Is this the ending you wanted to create, Joker?" Fels murmured.

Is it truly worthwhile to abandon efforts to save lives, to watch helplessly as one human falls, and to sacrifice billions to create one in this cruel trial?

"Everything is to get there before the appointed time arrives!"

Fels remained resolute, rejecting pity.

Even with the participation of heretics, the number of secret factions is endless.

Even though the leaders' level 3 cadres have all disappeared, the secret faction, which relies on sheer numbers to win, still unleashes a terrifying power.

Demonic swords, self-destruction, poison arrows—they used every means to kill adventurers.

But this situation was completely reversed after Finn entered the battlefield.

The tremors emanating from the central square weakened, indicating that the overlords had fallen into a disadvantageous position and their confidence in resisting had been greatly diminished.

In addition, the "Hero" makes his appearance.

The jet-black demonic bear roared, and its lightning spear tore through the Dark Faction's formation, causing the army to crumble.

"Adventurers, follow my banner and charge!" Finn's roar ignited the adventurers' passion, turning their roars into flames.

"Follow the hero and charge! Destroy the Dark Faction completely!" roared Chun, a blood-soaked half-dwarf wielding twin blades.

People took up shields, raised swords, and held staffs, singing war songs.

"Stop, Bert! You're really going to die!"

"Who's going to die? I don't have time for that!" The ferocious wolf, covered in wounds, turned its back to the weakling kneeling on the ground and let out a passionate, fiery roar.

He kicked the head of a Dark Faction soldier, sending it flying, and let out a howl like a wolf seizing its prey.

"Artillery fire is coming from the four o'clock position!"

"Philwines, I'm leaving you to me!"

"【The Holy Grail of Salvation】!" The proud elf erected a barrier, blocking the simultaneous attack of the demonic swords.

"Oriches, run! Run!"

"You're being carried around and you still have to nag? Hurry up and sing for me."

"[Dia Frattel]!!"

Little Amid rode on Naza's back, and the healing light transformed into a moving spring, enveloping the battlefield.

Led by the "Hero," Orario miraculously defied the black torrent and surged forward.

The countless monsters that the Dark Faction regarded as their trump card collapsed and scattered in all directions when they came into contact with the Thunder Knight's aura.

These monsters, which were originally there to wreak havoc on the city, all came from the ground and were not domesticated. Under the intimidation of the black dragon, some even lay on the ground in a submissive posture.

The agile Palum Familia following behind Finn flipped over and mounted these subjugated magical beasts, charging in the opposite direction towards the defeated Dark Clan. The silver torrent gradually converged, transforming into a scene reminiscent of ancient times.

"kill------"

The blessing behind "Finn" radiates intense heat, and his abilities begin to soar with each warrior who follows him...

"500~700~900…lv3!"

His stats are still skyrocketing...

100! 200! 300!

As the knights charged through a street and turned around, the adventurers roared in unison, "Fenana! Finn!"

Lily was somewhat confused about who she was. At this moment, Finn, Finana, and Lily were all in overlapping states.

She raised her spear, revealing the fluttering banner of the fallen heroes.

"Continue!! Heroes! Give it your all!"

On the high platform.

Fels took in everything and exclaimed, "Uranus, this truly is the city of heroes!"

……

On the city wall, the fleeing captain of the secret faction rushed over, anxiously reporting to Tina, who had her arms crossed:

"Lady Tina, the enemy is too strong, we can't hold them off."

“Hmm.” Tina replied without changing her expression.

"What do we do next? Should we retreat?"

"Do not."

The squad leader was taken aback: "Why?"

Tina calmly said, "The real battle is yet to be decided. Listen, the victory melody is coming from underground."

The squad leader was stunned. After a moment of focused perception, he suddenly came to his senses.

Yes.

All three real battlefields are still undecided. Chardo has not yet lost, and his trump card, the "Greatest Evil," is on its way. It is too early for them to admit defeat.

"Orario, who have staked everything on the surface, are powerless to stop what lies beneath. Your task is to buy time. It is time to prove your loyalty."

The squad leader's face lit up with fervor!

"For the sake of our Lord's long-cherished wish, we are willing to die!"

"Hmm." Tina nodded, arms crossed.

Anyway, she just followed Xia Er's instructions and waited until all these small fry were dead before making a run for it.

In the current city, no one can stop her.

……

The battlefield on the other side.

Crystals melted, forests turned into seas of fire, and the earth cracked open, spewing forth scorching flames. Beautiful lakes became parched boilers, with sweltering steam rising continuously into the air.

The chrysanthemum-shaped ceiling crystal, like melting ice cream, dripped with blue water droplets.

"Is this really the 18th floor?"

Ryu stared in disbelief at what was happening before her, holding her breath. The labyrinthine paradise, once a favorite among adventurers, was now being swallowed by a scorching red lotus, as if it were the end.

"It's so hot, I can't breathe!"

"This is hell!" Kaguya ripped open her kimono, revealing her bandaged chest and shoulders.

Rivera shuddered. "Isn't this... just like the 'Dragon's Pot'?"

As she finished speaking, the ground in front of her turned red, followed by a towering pillar of fire that shot into the sky, leaving behind a crater more than five meters in diameter.

"Wow, what's going on?"

Like a volcano erupting three times in succession, the monsters inside the dungeon, their bodies ablaze, fled towards the exit to the upper level.

The rules of the floors disappeared, and the monsters underground surged madly toward the surface as if they had been driven away.

"Seriously? We're supposed to fight a monster horde in this kind of environment?"

"If you get hit by that, even if you're at level one, you'll definitely die!"

The new recruits of the Astrea Familia let out a wail.

They simply couldn't comprehend this unusual situation:

"Why are flames shooting out of the ground?! What happened?"

Chapter 215 Mirror Strategy

"That's a floor only Zeus and Hera's Familia have ever been to. We only received information from the Guild."

Not only Astrea's Familia, but even Riveria had witnessed such a scene.

"It is said that starting from the 52nd floor, the monsters there can launch attacks that ignore the floor level, and this monster is doing the same thing now."

Laila broke out in a cold sweat: "So, this place is like the 52nd floor? That's ridiculous. Just surviving is already incredibly difficult. Is our opponent something of this level?"

Looking around, Alexie quickly nodded: "Hmph~, with that kind of firepower, even I, who has the title of [Red Flower], might be burned to ashes."

"Why do you look so smug, Alexie!"

Kaguya and the others couldn't help but stagger.

Ais tilted her head strangely: the trembling atmosphere had disappeared.

"Stop giving me stand-up comedy."

"Look over there."

"enemy……"

"arrive!"

The four warriors of Flame Gold stared ahead into the distance. In the center of the Crimson Lotus Battlefield, the witch, dressed in a jet-black gown and with her gray hair swaying, gazed at them.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time... but I'm really disappointed... is this the kind of brat that Palum assigned me as my opponent?"

“Alphia!” Riveria stared at the witch: “You’ve completely exposed your tactics to us, are you that confident in yourself?”

"The noise will eventually subside, so why bother?" Alfia gently opened her eyes and gazed at Riveria: "So, give up the resistance. That way, you won't have to endure destruction and ravages."

His arrogant, indifferent, and disdainful attitude instantly ignited a certain person in the group.

"Shut the hell up!"

"You woman are my rival!"

"Killing you will allow me to deal with that 'Gluttony'!"

"Do it!"

The four Flame Warriors showed their displeasure and simultaneously charged out in four directions, instantly surrounding Alfia.

Immediately following was a familiar chant beside me:
