Danmaku, my skills refresh weekly.

"Hurry up! Don't get caught up in his rhythm."

The oppressive and eerie melody constantly tormented Finn's mind. Although he wasn't as physically uncontrollable as the crowd, it still made him extremely anxious and unable to calm down.

He looked towards the Freya clan's position in the east, where the officers had already surrounded Freya completely.

They were out of luck; with the goddess present, Finn wasn't confident he could order them into battle.

"Hahaha, with [The End] Joker around, we're guaranteed to win!"

One of the believers laughed wildly and shouted, "Sasha, Finn, hurry up and choose! Surface or the dungeon?"

Beads of cold sweat dripped from Finn's forehead.

Is there any way to stop the Joker's melody? And what happens after you stop it?

How to evacuate the people?

The eastern region is guarded by the Freya Familia, I am in the south, and the northern region is guarded by the Ganesha Familia. The problem is the western region where the Joker is located...

Finn's thoughts were interrupted by a melodious chant.

Located in the enormous fountain pool to the southwest, Marie opens her arms as if embracing the sky, and sings a song as melodious as a dolphin…

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah----"

The unusual sound waves disrupted the vibrations permeating the air, causing the manipulated residents to shudder violently and stagger to their knees.

"Huchihuchi..."

"What just happened? Hypnosis?"

"No, it doesn't look like it..."

"It's...it's Lady Marie's singing! She saved us once again!"

The residents' backs were soaked with cold sweat.

Finn had no time to think; he activated [Command Voice], and the command instantly transmitted throughout the central plaza:

"Everyone, hands behind your heads! Spread out at least three meters apart! Immediately!"

People covered their heads with their hands and slowly distanced themselves from those around them.

Riveria's magic circle enveloped the entire plaza, and the icy blizzard instantly froze the believers who had been behaving strangely.

Ota and the others watched everything indifferently, while Hedin's gaze shot towards Riveria like a spear:

"Don't bring your magic circle into our territory! Otherwise, even if you're royalty, I'll open fire on you!"

As he spoke, he brandished his sword, and hundreds of lightning orbs hung above the heads of the residents. If anyone made a move, the lightning orbs would fall like the Sword of Damocles.

"Ughhhh, I'll fight you to the death!" the believer roared, reaching out to try and twist the mechanism in his chest.

But in the next instant, several dwarf adventurers dressed in knight armor darted out from the side. Using their small stature, they weaved through the crowd and instantly locked onto many suspicious members.

As believers were either dragged out or turned into ice sculptures, the residents cheered:

"As expected of Lord Finn. And the newly formed Knights of the Round Table of Finana!"

"Finn! Finn! Finn!"

"Quickly, get moving! This place is about to become a battlefield for first-level adventurers!"

Seizing the opportunity, the Ganesha guards, who were mingling in the crowd, shouted to evacuate the people, and the central square quickly became empty.

……

Western altar.

Charles's nimble fingers came to an abrupt halt. With a 'clang' of a disordered note, the absurd performance came to a close.

Behind him, a golden spear of dominion hurtled towards him. Charles's joyful expression vanished, and he slammed his hands down on the piano keys in dissatisfaction.

Duang! !

The unusual vibrations tore through the air, creating cracks.

The spear of dominion stopped two meters from Charles's back, persisting against the invisible cracks in the air.

The pitch-black piano was swallowed and disappeared by the spiraling space. Charles slowly stood up from his chair, turned around, a downward curve to his lips, and stared at Finn, who had retrieved the spear and whose eyes gleamed with malice.

"What a pity, the carefully prepared entertainment for the festival has been ruined."

“We didn’t invite you, Joker.” Finn gripped the gun handle tightly, narrowing his eyes and sneering. “But since you’re here, you’re not leaving.”

Finn lowered his center of gravity, leaned forward, and as the ground shattered, the spear pierced through Charles's abdomen and tore his chest apart...

Stab it!

The tattered figure vanished, turning into specks of magical light...

"Let's play..."

Charles's voice rang in Finn's ears. Finn twirled his pistol, then swept it horizontally, cleaving Charles in two once more.

however……

More magical fragments scattered across the sky.

"A phantom...?"

"Finn, get out of the way!"

With a snap of his fingers, Xia Er mentally wove two divine runes, revealing them.

【Gospel】

Ecstasy: Fimbulb Winter

The impact of sound collides with the icy blizzard.

Amidst countless crystalline specks reflecting sunlight...

The afterimage of Charles, trailing a streak of lightning, detached from the Western Altar and moved eastward toward the plaza. A series of ice spikes followed his steps, freezing the earth.

"Oh dear, that's dangerous. The residents are going to get caught in the blizzard and freeze into ice sculptures!"

With a chuckle, Xia Er stood atop a towering magic stone street lamp. The next second, cracks appeared on the ground beneath his feet, and scorching heat rose from the earth.

[Advanced Sword of Victory! ]

【Peace of the Soul】

The two voices fell at the same time.

The vortex of fire engulfed Ciel's figure, but upon touching the sound armor surrounding him, it dissipated into magical light.

"Get out of here, clown!"

The next second, a laser beam that spanned half the square came hurtling in.

Charles thrust out his palm, shattering the light cannon. The scattered lightning rays grazed Charles's palm and exploded behind him.

After light pollution.

Grace descended from the sky, wielding a giant axe.

Immediately following, Finn's javelin, Allen's thrust, Hegny's demonic flash, and Ota's powerful slash—attacks from all directions instantly enveloped Ciel.

"Oh..., heroes attacking together? You really think highly of me."

Chapter 308 Alarm Bell

Charles's gaze passed through the first-level adventurers who were coming to annihilate him, and landed on the goddess of beauty on the distant altar.

Freya's face remained expressionless as she coldly observed everything unfolding in the square.

Is she angry because I disrupted the festival she was presiding over?

Or do you want to see what's going on with me?

Two thoughts flashed through my mind in an instant.

But faced with such a barrage of attacks from so many first-class adventurers, even Charles couldn't help but hesitate to act rashly.

As Allen's chariot rolled over, Ciel's figure dissipated into a burst of lightning, reappearing fifty meters away the next second.

However, as if he had been waiting for this, Ota unleashed a violent steel slash that created a whirlwind that sent Charles flying back more than ten meters.

His internal organs seemed to be disturbed by the strong wind that was brought out, and blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.

"As expected of a level 7..."

If relying on Flash and Chloe's illusions, he can barely hold his own against Finn, and relying on [Silent Eden], he can ignore Riveria and Hedin's artillery fire. So, when facing Otto, all Charles can probably do is turn around and run.

But that was a battle he hadn't prepared for. Knowing he might be facing the top-ranked opponent in the entire city, he naturally prepared a trump card in advance.

Charles landed awkwardly, his feet stomping wildly on the ground. Before he could even stand still, there was a whoosh.

The black demonic blade extended forty meters away, reaching the side of Sharford's head, the blade brushing past his ear and bringing up a few wisps of debris.

"His Flash can't be used consecutively! Now's the time!!"

Finn and Otto followed closely behind, one on the left and one on the right, completely blocking Charles's retreat.

However, faced with the combined attack of a level 6 and a level 7 opponent, Charles slowly raised his finger...

'Domain expansion... I'd like to say that, but...'

"Lost in endless dreams! [Pophitor Daedalus]!"

A crimson aura of magic bloomed before the adventurers' eyes.

This is a record that Ciel truly stole using his mind, a magic from Dix, and its effect is...

A curse that brings illusions and confusion!

Those who have no countermeasures will fall into a complete vortex of madness, killing each other until they are exhausted or only one person remains!

A super short, wide-ranging curse that is both unreasonable and unavoidable, truly a kill on first meeting.

Ota, who was attacking Charles, changed his expression and turned his Steel Slash towards Finn.
