Danmaku, my skills refresh weekly.

The tentacles were only slightly deflected from their course; they were not damaged at all.

"Don't stop!" Lyra roared, "Leon, don't stop the magic! Hesitation means certain death!"

As the team's eyes, her duty is to transform everything unknown into the known.

Even with the blessing of Pochi's nine halos, the combat power they could display in this team was only level 5. Only Alicia, possessing multiple rare skill spells, was capable of harming the monster.

Lyra remained wary of the tentacles' attack, secretly plotting...

Alisha's skill [Masaka Kurosaki] can greatly increase the corresponding ability value under three conditions: "during battle", "in adversity", and "when fighting a strong enemy". After all three conditions are met, it can also slightly increase some abilities again.

It's equivalent to a massive boost to all abilities.

Furthermore, the skill [Righteous Fight and Righteous Fire] can enhance the effects of skills and magic when engaging in melee combat and casting spells, respectively.

This will further enhance the power of [Masaka Kurosaki], bringing it to a level similar to the super-domain power of Ais [Revenge Princess].

In other words, among everyone present, only Alicia, who has reached a combat level of 6 or higher, is qualified to be the opponent of "Fairy Spirit Clone"!

Thinking about this...

"Celty, Leana, Leon, Kaguya! Cover Alexie's advance!"

"Iska, Aste, Noin, Niz! Defend! Protect the other adventurers from retreating!"

Leila's voice was loud, and her throat was already hoarse.

Even the most clueless adventurer could hear the tremor in her voice.

Can't beat it!

Astrea's Familia is very likely no match for that monster!

Upon receiving this answer, the surviving adventurers scrambled to their feet, dropping their weapons and fleeing.

The "Fairy Spirit Avatar" couldn't let her precious "materials" just fly away like that. She smiled, opened her arms, and the long incantation ended in an instant.

"Darkness! Rage! Devour the light and bring peace to the night! In the name of your agent, I command that I be granted the title: Spirit of Darkness, Embodiment of Darkness, Queen of Darkness—"

[Dark Roar]!

"High-speed chanting?!"

"The monster... used magic?"

Completely different from the battle of [Silence], the "Fairy Clone" unleashed its magic without mercy, and the long chant ended in three seconds, causing ripples in Lyra's heart.

"Is this the true power of level 7?"

boom----------

The response to Lyra was not the magical roar of the "Fairy Clone," but a fleeting emerald light.

Chapter 335 Charles: You must...live on~ Phil Weiss

"————Don't aaaaa——"

"Varied!?"

The "Fairy Clone" that was about to unleash its magic exploded, interrupting the bombardment with disrupted magic. A hideous bloody hole appeared in her throat, and half of her face disappeared.

Surprisingly, no...

It's a rare "anti-magic" item that I've seen before.

Lyra couldn't help but turn her head to look at Alpha, whose face was full of pity as he clutched the "Guardian of the Underworld".

"While it's now..."

Kaguya and Ryu worked together to clear away the green flesh barrier blocking Arishie's way.

As she dragged the Flowing Flame along, stepping on the Great Wind Jade, she glided past the "Fairy Spirit Clone" like a meteor. With both hands raised high, she slashed down at the wailing "Fairy Spirit Clone" with a blazing wind-infused attack.

Seemingly sensing the threat of the slash, the petals around the "Fairy Essence Clone" instantly closed up.

The flower buds, as solid as an iron wall, blocked Alicia's fiery slash without sustaining any damage.

When Alyssa fell to the ground, exhausted, and the petals bloomed, she saw a perfectly intact face of a corrupted human.

"Self-regeneration?!"

The emergence of self-healing ability completely destroyed the Astrea Familia's information, allowing them to defeat this monster.

Even with such powerful buffs and the opponent's strongest trump card being blocked, they still couldn't defeat the monster before them.

"Everyone……"

Alexie gripped her beloved sword tightly, her gaze hardening with resolve: "Today is the day we transform into stardust and return to the night sky! To give the survivors a final glimmer of hope, let us shine once more!"

“Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh————”

Astrea's Familia let out a final roar, fearlessly entangled with the green fleshy tentacles that were ravaging the floors.

"Xina——————"

The "fairy clone" discovered the culprit that caused her fatal injury:

"Come back to me..."

"I refuse..." Alpha's small figure stepped forward, his eyes filled with endless compassion, tears of lightning involuntarily overflowing, forming two bands of light that swayed gently.

"I will... liberate you, my fellow countrymen."

Buzz————

"Roar!"

Arcs of lightning crackled around Alpha, and as she charged forward, countless weapons left behind by adventurers were drawn by the magnetic field and swirled around her.

“Roar!” she roared again.

The swirling rain of swords, like the treasures of a king, crashed into the tentacle barrier undulating in the "celestial avatar." Countless swords were knocked away by the tentacles, but the exorcising lightning paralyzed its senses. A few tentacles twitched, while others fell silent.

"weak……"

"Weak, weak, weak, weak, weak!" Alpha kept repeating and complaining in his mind, but he couldn't change his powerlessness to liberate his compatriots with his own hands.

Her hand unconsciously gripped the silver pendant hanging from her neck...

"Ciel...where are you??"

Alpha broadens its vision, searching for that hero who can master it...

But she saw one black-haired girl among the countless adventurers fleeing behind her, stubbornly running towards the "Fairy Spirit Clone".

"Kill...kill you!" Phil Weiss gripped her short blade tightly, her face contorted with rage as she charged toward the "Fairy Spirit Clone."

Despite receiving no favors, she miraculously escaped the tentacles' reach thanks to the combined efforts of the Astrea Familia.

But that was the end of their good fortune.

The tentacles extending from the bottom of the "Fairy Spirit Avatar" gradually enlarged before her eyes, causing her skin to sting, her hair to flutter, and a smile that seemed to indicate she was about to be freed.

"Boom-"

Poof————

Phil Weiss felt her body being violently thrown aside, and a stream of hot blood splattered on her face, but the pain she expected did not come.

She stared blankly at the equally astonished "celestial clone," her pupils slowly shifting...

"cough……"

Another mouthful of blood was poured onto her face.

In her blood-stained vision, the face contorted with pain gradually merged with the figure she longed for...

“Xia? Er?” Phil Weiss’s eyes narrowed to needles, her face showing panic, fear, and disbelief.

"You're kidding, right... Ciel?"

Phil Weiss stared blankly at Charles's face, her gaze gradually sliding downwards. A large hole had been ripped open in his chest, and tentacles slowly withdrew from his body.

"Ah...ahhhhhh..." Phil Weiss's face was full of despair as she pressed her hands against Charles's chest. Blood seeped uncontrollably through her fingers, quickly soaking her clothes.

Charles's eyes were purplish-blue, and his raised hand was grasped by Phil Weiss. He said weakly and intermittently, "Phil Weiss... live... live on."

"Ah~ Ahhh... Ciel? Why? Why did you save me, who was covered in filth..."

"You are not filthy at all... Although... I don't know what happened to you? But, you were beautiful as you ran towards your fallen comrades..."

"So... I don't want someone as noble as you to die... or someone as beautiful as you... to become ugly pieces of a corpse."

Ciel's sweet words on his deathbed injected a venomous substance, like rotten orange juice, into the girl's broken heart.

"Stop talking... Charles, it's not worth it... it's not worth it..." Phil Weiss forcefully covered the large hole in Charles's chest, rummaged through his backpack, sprinkled all the elixirs on it, and tried to prolong Charles's life.

After pulling out a strangely shaped red test tube, Ciel pushed it away with all his might.

"This is not... a miracle cure."

The red solution, now unsealed, splashed onto Philweiss, and heretical magic surged around her...

That's a renewal drug...

It is a rare and forbidden item that surpasses the "Unlocking Medicine" and allows the clan to change its favors on its own!

Philweis's sealed grace was miraculously released for a moment.

She trembled slightly, her twisted and fragmented thoughts tearing her soul apart, severing the past from the present.

A distorted shadow emerged from within Philwis, representing all the emotions Philwis was unwilling to accept, symbolizing the individual's anger, pain, and wailing as they broke free from this body.

Enraged, Philweis's "avatar" roared and launched a suicidal attack on the "fairy avatar" Mi.

The real Philweis lowered her head and pressed Charles's face tightly against her chest, completely ignoring the strange movements of the "clone" behind her.

It was as if she was deliberately seeking death, wanting to erase all "negative emotions" and cut everything off...

The body that Ciel is holding now is clean; it is the pure and immaculate Philweis that Ciel wished for.

Symbolizing the past of "Dionysus"—no, the Ennio Familia—it too will be annihilated in the fallen fairy spirits along with the "avatar".

Including "favor".
