Danmaku, my skills refresh weekly.

"Really...? Our attacks couldn't even force her to retreat a single step?"

Even more frightening is...

As Alfia's physical limitations weakened, in order to force Alfrike and his group to retreat, Alfia voluntarily removed her Sound Armor. A gray magic circle appeared beneath her feet, and astonishing magical power swirled around the witch like a whirlwind.

"A magic circle!? Quick! Get out of the way!" Riveria's expression changed.

Alfia, who consistently uses extremely short texts, doesn't need to deploy a magic circle, but it's not impossible. With an extremely high level of [Magic] enhancement, coupled with the unleashed artillery barrage...

【Gospel!】

As the two syllables fell, a violent surge of magic, like a spark igniting a fuse, caused countless cracks to spread through the atmosphere, forming a spiderweb that enveloped Alfia within a five-meter radius.

The violent sonic impact spread for over fifty meters, enveloping Riveria and others within its range.

The azure magic circle in the atmosphere was shattered by the riotous impact, and the warriors' equipment and armor were also reduced to fragments in the irresistible destruction.

As the elf, clutching his chest and bleeding from the corner of his mouth, looked up and stared into the distance, true despair emerged.

The witch standing at the center of the gray magic circle simply snapped her fingers, and the magical remnants that had dissipated in the air transformed once again into a fine rainstorm that enveloped the fallen warriors.

It was just a very short spell, yet it caused a power comparable to wide-area annihilation. Riveria felt deeply powerless. As a fellow mage, she knew she couldn't even begin to compare to Alfia.

"Luna Arutis!"

There was no time to chant the third stage of healing magic; only the second stage of multiple healing rain spells fell on the heavily injured vanguard.

The destruction and healing created an abnormal tug-of-war within their bodies, causing the four Palum to scream in agony.

"Cough—"

The witch, who had been ravaged once again, coughed up a mouthful of blood.

“Alphia…” Riveria’s expression was complicated.

"Don't look at me like that." Alfia wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and raised her slender finger: "Instead of worrying about your enemies, you should chant a few more words!"

"Gospel!"

Rumbling--

An invisible shockwave, capable of ploughing up the earth, blasted towards the elf who was continuously casting healing spells.

"Don't even think about it—ahhh—" The burly dwarf, holding a giant shield, stood in front of Riveria.

The giant shield, having withstood countless impacts, shattered into pieces. Grace's skin turned purplish-black, his muscles ripped, his internal organs torn, and he suffered severe internal bleeding, making him look extremely wretched.

"Alphia—" Riveria called out the enemy's name, the magic circle beneath her feet spinning, activating the third stage of healing magic link!

"Sacred Sky!"

The emerald beam of light landed precisely on Grace, instantly restoring his bloodied skin to its original state, and his shattered bones and flesh seemed to regenerate themselves.

follow closely……

"Snowflakes are falling heavily, and it's the third harsh winter..."

The emerald magic circle transformed into azure.

Faced with the three blizzards of extreme ice sweeping in, Alfia simply raised her hand:

"Peace of the Soul!"

The extremely short chant allows Alfia to activate and deactivate the [Sound Barrier] anytime, anywhere.

The ice and snow melted into a mist of light before her eyes, giving Riveria no time to catch her breath. Alfia raised her other hand:

"Gospel!"

"Ughhhhhhh—" The dwarf once again used his body to block the cannon fire.

After him...

"...Burn everything, Surtr's sword—my name is Alf!"

Behind the light curtain was a whirlwind of fire that reversed the magic circle, transforming frost into a red, turbid stream.

The ground beneath Riveria's feet cracked open, and three vortexes of scorching fire swept towards Alfia.

[Advanced Sword of Victory! ]

"The chanting was interrupted..."

The elf's unusual behavior slightly surprised Alfia.

She couldn't help but wonder if the pressure was too great, causing everyone to become abnormal.

Chapter 225 Feint to the East, Smash the Greatest Evil

Riveria's magic is quite unique; it belongs to the category of link magic. A complete spell can be broken down into different sections, each releasing a spell with different effects.

That's how the title "Nine Demon Princesses" came about.

Unlike Haruhime, whose two spells are interconnected.

Riveria's attack magic, generally speaking, cannot be started from the interruption. In order to release the second phase of [Higher Victory Sword], she must start the chanting from the first phase of [Ecstasy of Fimbulwinter] and connect it to the second phase launch.

Each connection amplifies the power of magic exponentially, resulting in terrifying output that can overcome the gap in rank.

However, Rivera managed to forcibly sever the connection during the incantation, first manifesting the magic and then immediately using the dissipated magic power to condense the second phase of the bombardment.

"Did you learn techniques from your opponents to gain an advantage?"

Yes.

This unusual technique is the afterimage technique that Alfia has used many times. It utilizes the residual magic power of the incompletely unleashed gospel to detonate the magic power in the air a second time, creating unexpected secondary damage.

However, Rivera used this technique to connect to the second stage of magic, omitting the long incantation of the first stage...

It saved at least ten seconds.

This timing is a huge advantage in any unusual battle.

A whirlwind of flames enveloped Alphia, and under the protection of the Silent Eden, all the flames that approached Alphia were transformed into magical mist and dissipated.

Perhaps knowing this, Riveria did not target Alfia. The three vortexes of fire stopped five meters away from Alfia.

The scorching heat evaporates oxygen while making the surrounding temperature extremely hot.

If you can't directly attack with magic, use the aftereffects of [Gospel] to forcibly weaken the enemy's status!

Many thanks to the Joker and the children of the Astrea Familia.

"If you can't beat them, completely imitate their actions! Absorb their experience and skills! That's what an adventurer is all about!"

The four Yan Jin brothers shouted excitedly.

"Your magic can erase magical phenomena, but it can't isolate heat and oxygen! Just burn me to death, you stinking witch!"

Sweat beaded on Alfia's forehead. Just as the Palums had said, magic aimed directly at Alfia would be neutralized by the Sound Barrier, but she was completely unable to cope with changes in the surrounding environment.

This is not a fatal flaw. The enemy has expended so much mental energy, and the result is merely that Alfia takes a step.

Yes, Alfia simply touched the tip of her foot, her figure breaking through the flames, and a punch that shattered the atmosphere landed on the clamoring Palum.

"Ger!"

"Cough—" Violence twisted Ger's face.

The assailant, resorting to violence, simply leaned back to dodge Alfred's thrust. He then swiftly turned and delivered a swift chop, severing both arms of Berlin, who was blocking his brother's path.

"cough--"

Just as they were pressing their advantage, Alfia suddenly coughed up blood, giving everyone a moment to catch their breath.

However…

The expected magical support did not arrive.

Alfia looked up, but she couldn't see the fairy anywhere around her.

"Where did you go?"

His gaze swept over Palum, who was helping each other up and drinking the elixir, and the dwarf, covered in wounds, crawling up from the ruins.

Finally, it landed in front of the roaring "greatest evil" in the distance.

Rivera, radiating unusual energy and standing atop a massive cyan-black magic circle, unleashed her magic against the evil dragon that spewed scorching flames and shattered the girl's shield.

"...annihilation of all things, a wind of decadence—my name is Alfre!"

"Wes Windheim!"

The scorching hot floor, filled with burning steam, was suddenly dispersed by a cool breeze, and a huge emerald-green beam of light shot out from the tip of Riveria's staff.

It's not just a threefold increase, but an exponential sixfold increase.

Riveria's third-stage magic is rarely used in actual combat because the incantation is too long. Just imagine:

The first section alone contains a medium-length text, the second section contains a long text, and the third section contains an extremely long text. The total word count exceeds two hundred words, and it takes nearly two minutes to read it all.

Not to mention, one also needs to carefully gather magical power, mobilize one's spirit, and weave magic.

The normal state of magic is that the longer the incantation, the stronger the power, which further amplifies the power of the bombardment.

With the added magical amplification from [Elf King's Chant] and the enhanced "magic power" from [Elf King's Seal], this devastating attack was unleashed.

The powerful beam cannon, far exceeding the power of a level 6 monster and even a level 7 monster would find it difficult to withstand, blew away the earth, shattered the scorching flames, and blasted half of the "Greatest Evil's" body into dust.

The black whirlwind, seizing everything, followed closely behind, roaring as it pierced the monster's exposed purplish-black magic stone.

With a loud bang, countless black particles exploded.

As the monster died, the twelve of them turned their gazes to Vito, who was fighting Kaguya nearby.

"Hey... are you kidding me?" The unexpected reversal left the member of the Underworld God's kin stunned, who was enjoying the battle.

In that instant, the slashing light that enveloped him from five directions knocked the longsword out of his hand, and a swift Iaijutsu slash sent him flying in an instant.

Complete everything,

Everyone was lying on the ground, panting heavily.
