Danmaku, my skills refresh weekly.

"Here, you can keep this. Until I regret it." Ciel handed over [Nieko].

Alfia chuckled and accepted it: "Alright, let's go, let's practice together and see if you've regressed."

"Can I not go?" Charles hesitated.

“Or it can be here.” Alfia glanced at the bed and lifted Charles’ chin.

"Then let's go."

……

A secluded cave on the 37th floor of the underground city.

Two gray-haired people, one large and one small, stood facing each other.

Alfia, holding a golden scepter and wearing a blue wizard's hat, stared intently at Shire. She removed the ten sealing rings from her hands, her anklets, and her collar, and also deactivated the gravity function.

"Do you have to be so serious?"

“You’re almost catching up with me. If you want to see your strength, you’ll have to go all out.” Alfia’s expression was eager, like a farmer waiting for his leeks to ripen, her eyes filled with longing and unfulfilled desire.

So……

Start!

As if by unspoken agreement, the moment their eyes met, their voices and words appeared simultaneously.

[Gospel] X2

Gray shockwaves were released from the tips of [Lich's Bane] and [Archangel's Staff], respectively.

boom--

Boom boom————

On one side was a colossal python roaring, and on the other were two crimson streaks, baring their fangs.

The power of sound collided in the center of the room, causing cracks to appear in the atmosphere and waves of air to surge.

In the instant they vanished from sight, their figures appeared simultaneously in the center of the room. Their fists stopped less than 30cm apart, the air was compressed dramatically, and cracks like lightning flashed again.

Boom——

The ground could not withstand the magic power emanating from the two of them, and collapsed like building blocks.

Ciel's magic was failing, and he took two steps back. His figure transformed into lightning, flashing continuously, and retreated 140 meters away.

The impact of the gospel followed closely, and Charles raised his shield to block it.

As the mottled barrier crumbled, three flames appeared around Charles, and his eyes instantly turned crimson.

Beneath Alfia's feet, the scorching heat burned the ground, transforming into a pillar of fire that shot skyward three seconds later.

"too slow……"

"is it?"

Charles's eyes flashed, turning pale, and the suspended runes emitted a burst of lightning, transforming from fire to lightning.

boom--

40 meters above the sky, a vortex of flames converges, and an 8-meter radius meteorite crashes down...

Chapter 415 A true duel between magicians is one where every punch lands on the skin!

"You forgot, magic has no effect on me."

As the meteorite fell from the sky, Alfia remained indifferent, waving her hand to bestow upon the Armor of Sound, dispelling the heavenly fire.

“Soleiwadokana.” A gray light flashed in Shar’s eyes, and a fourth divine rune—Rock—emerged on the three divine runes.

The fire from the meteorite gradually condensed into a core, and something called rock was given the name "meteorite".

The flames were dispelled by the Silent Eden, turning into fire dust and dissipating, but the core rock became sharp, transforming into cannonballs that shot towards Alfia.

"boring……"

Gospel Fist!

boom……

The falling rock cone shattered into pieces, but then a second meteorite, also a fragmented rock cone, fell.

Alfia clicked her tongue, her leg ring clicked, and she flashed away, retreating from the meteorite's attack range.

however……

"Can you keep up with my speed?"

Thunder roared, and Charles suddenly appeared behind her, three lightning runes flashing around him. A massive magnetic storm was rapidly dissolving the magic that Alphia was attached to her body.

As the shield of Sharl shimmered with light, and the [Shield Slam], which had accumulated hundreds of layers of shield value, was about to be unleashed, Alfia's heterochromatic eyes swept over it. She released the magic-enhanced Alfia, completely concentrating this magical power into a single point, and using the power of [Player], transformed it into a sound wave that pierced through Sharl.

"Ku—"

Charles's pupils contracted, his nerves went haywire, his muscles slumped, and his eyes even glazed over for a moment as he fell past Alfia.

The barrier of [layered armor] could withstand most attacks, but it could not block out sound. Xia Er, who was suddenly struck by a nerve attack, was unable to stop Alfia's pursuit.

Alfia, having unleashed a full-force [Gospel] attack, struck the barrier surrounding Sharl. Countless magical fragments drifted away, reducing the once-thick barrier to a mere thin layer.

Charles knelt on the ground and shook his head to dispel the negative effects of the physical obstacles. When he looked up, he saw Alfia with her eyes closed and deep in thought.

"what happened?"

"somebody is coming……"

Ciel frowned, and Rimuru, who was under his robes, attached himself to Ciel and hid him inside the black robes.

After finishing everything, the two looked at each other, and then, one in black and one in gray, the two beams of light collided again.

The deafening roar echoed through the collapsed cave, and their peripheral vision unconsciously drifted towards the end of the corridor.

Braving the sonic boom and heatwave, the emerald-haired elf, staff in hand, soothed her wind-blown hair. Her emerald eyes narrowed slightly as she gazed at the two warring parties, and she strode over.

"Joker... and then... [Silence]? Or [Witch]?"

Naturally, no one answered her question.

The battle between the two was extremely intense. Both sides almost completely abandoned magical combat, or rather, it consisted entirely of highly mobile, rapid-fire magic and close-quarters melee combat with short incantations.

Flashing lightning, spewing flames, shockwaves, and the physical collisions of point-blank artillery fire—these magical aftershocks are relentlessly eroding the surrounding labyrinth.

Rivera found it hard to believe that mages could collide in such a crude way.

If Ciel knew what Riveria was thinking, he would definitely complain, "What kind of serious Caster doesn't know melee combat?"

After observing for a moment, Rivera suppressed her surprise and her eyes became serious.

Although it's unclear why Joker has grown to be on par with the Witch in such a short time, now is undoubtedly the best opportunity to defeat Joker.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Although this friend once beat up their commander, there is now a more threatening enemy...

"【Witch】I'm here to help you!"

A pale blue magic circle unfolded on the ground, and Riveria raised her staff high, aiming the cannon at the flickering figures in the battle.

"Snow-covered peaks, three harsh winters..."

"Old woman, don't get in my way..."

Alfia's eyes flashed, she tilted her head back to avoid the sweeping shield and axe, swung her staff to block Sharl's pursuit, and then shot out a sonic shock from the top of the [Tear of the Goddess].

boom--

The earth shattered, and Ciel's figure transformed into patches of light, gradually becoming transparent.

next moment……

A flash of lightning, and Ciel created some distance, shifting his gaze to Rivera, who was focused on chanting. He extended his palm...

It's too late; if I chant now, it won't be able to interrupt my magic!

Thinking this, Rivilia quickened her chanting: "My name is..."

"Hmph~ Divine script doesn't need to be chanted... Nine Demon Princess."

The cold voice reached Riveria's ears, and an arcane character on the ground bloomed, gradually turning red and igniting into scorching flames.

boom----

In a split second, Rivera leaped backward, dodging the earth fire that exploded from the ground. However, a second celestial fire fell where she landed.

She gritted her teeth, forcibly suppressing the interrupted magic circle, and uttered three words: "My name is... Alfre!"

The Staff of the Supreme Being unleashed a chilling aura, and ice spikes hurtled toward the falling heavenly fire.

Amidst the frost, a shadow suddenly appeared behind Riveria. As she blinked and turned her gaze, a short sword burning with fire was already close to her throat.

Sizzle—bang!

A gray shadow hurtled in from the side, its bare feet landing on the Joker's face. The short sword and the figure, only centimeters away from Riveria, retreated rapidly.

The persistent, explosive noises came from behind Riveria once again.

She slowly turned around. The deathly silence that had just struck her was momentarily dazed, but the Joker's magic surprised her even more.

"That's... ancient magic? Sacred writing? No need for chanting?"

A series of questions made Rivera's gaze towards the Joker change...

She could recognize some sacred texts and interpret the blessings so-so, but when it came to application, that was already the authority that a deity should have.

Divine script is not merely words; this is clearly stated in both the blessings and the magic books for the children underground. However, those who can delve into and apply this wisdom, and even put it into 'real combat,' are unprecedented throughout history.

Perhaps only a genius like the Joker, who can master all kinds of magic, can use this technique with ease.

In that instant, the desire for the "unknown" and "knowledge" overshadowed the fear of "death".

In the words of the gods, it is...

As you hear the news, you can die in the evening.

Rivera's expression was complicated as she stood frozen in place. The Joker's body was surrounded by rapidly flashing divine runes, using kaleidoscope-like magic to forcefully suppress the "witch".

and many more……
