Danmaku, my skills refresh weekly.

It's incredible that someone could not only perform parallel chanting under intense battle conditions, but also simultaneously deploy magic circles.

The enemy's talent is enough to make all magic swordsmen lose face.

Ryubi had to get used to singing, a lesson learned through blood and tears from the loss of her closest friends.

If only we could have fought together back then, if only we could have sung while we fought!

If only we had been more mature and stronger back then, and could have protected everyone...

Tears welled in Liu's eyes, blurring her vision, but were dried by the flames. She roared as she uttered her final incantation:

"The light of the lodged stardust annihilates the enemy—"

Then, the massive array of Jade Cannons, shrouded in green wind, engulfed the battlefield.

Celty and Leana's support couldn't even cause a ripple under the barrage of this immense magical power.

Ryu had to admit that this body possessed unimaginable magical power!

Even though she had restrained her power enough, the light cannon still instantly blasted everyone to the ground.

[Wind of Light] was not preceded by the chanting of incantations containing sacred text; it is not inherited magic, but rather belongs to the enemy itself...

Alexie, leaning on her sword, watched as Ryu turned and, carrying a massive shield, headed deeper into the building. She reached out her hand, trying to stop him:

"Wait, wait... Leon!"

Ryu paused for a moment before continuing on her way, leaving only her words, carried on the wind, echoing in Alexie's ears:

“Don’t come any closer… give it to me. Alexie… this is my lifelong request.”

Chapter 438 Jāluó: The Joker Wants to Kill Me?

Dungeon Level 30, Twisted Jungle.

Huge black pine trees reaching the ceiling, twisted shrubs as dense as an upside-down octopus, and knee-high grass filled the entire floor.

Among the dense grass where one couldn't see their feet, countless flame stones, shimmering with red crystals, were scattered throughout the floors.

At that moment, a green-haired orc frantically parted the bushes, rushed to the vicinity of the pre-set core ambush circle, burst out of the bushes, and fell to the ground.

His eyes widened, his lips trembled, and he exclaimed:

"Big brother! They're here... someone's coming!"

"Great!" The man guarding the spot slowly turned around, his face beaming with excitement. "Those righteous bitches, I've been waiting for them for so long! They've finally arrived!"

Upon seeing Jaluo's appearance, the green-haired orc quickly shook his head and stammered, "No...no, no. It's...it's someone else."

"Hmm?" Jalal's expression turned serious: "At this time, who would come to this floor? Whoever it is, whoever can enter the 30th floor is not a core member of Orario's familia? They are all the same. Prepare to make a move."

"She...she was all alone. She killed all her other brothers! So fast you couldn't even see them!"

Upon hearing this, Jaluo's face turned cold: "Then how did you get back?"

The man was stunned. Before he could speak, a white light flashed across his neck, and his spherical head floated high into the air.

With a soft "plop," a large amount of blood splattered onto his body.

He knew... someone had followed this idiot!

The next second, another magical slash flashed out.

Jaluo drew the broken blade from his waist and blocked the attack in front of him.

With a 'clang,' sparks flew.

At the same time, three other slashes came from above, behind, and below Jaluo's body.

"Come out, Orochi-well!"

Jaluo stomped his foot hard, and the Lymton pet hidden underground instantly devoured him. Then, three flashes of light appeared and slashed at Lymton's body, causing a large amount of blood to spread.

"Ugh...what...thing?!"

As the roaring, wailing giant snake spat out his body, he rolled quickly upon landing, hiding behind a massive tree root. He nervously looked around, but there wasn't a single person in the surrounding forest.

Having dealt with the Astrea Familia so many times, he was well aware that the swordsman from the Far East possessed magical slashes capable of ignoring space, but this was simply too exaggerated.

"Are you kidding me? How far away was that attack from?!"

Jaluo's gaze fell into the distance.

Through the gaps in the trees, he saw glittering starlight hundreds of meters away.

"That's... a magic circle?!"

That guy actually used "magic" to increase the range of that Iaijutsu!

This means that he could be beheaded at any moment, without even seeing his opponent draw his sword!

Realizing this, Jallu felt a chill run down his spine. He pulled out his eye crystal and issued a command to all the believers on the floor:

"Quick! Light the fire! Blow this guy up!"

Shila-

Boom boom boom— Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom—

As soon as the words were spoken, the entire floor shook violently, followed by a series of deafening explosions. Chaos instantly descended upon the Twisted Forest.

Flames flickered in the dark woods, thick smoke billowed, and intense heat filled the air.

Cracks began to appear in the walls and floors of the building, and stones continued to fall from the ceiling.

With a loud bang, the building began to collapse, and the entire cavern was like a giant hourglass, with sand and stones constantly pouring down.

The explosion lasted for nearly half a minute, and the chain reaction of the firestones turned the entire floor into a huge crater.

The only surviving location was the rock face where Jalal was.

He stood at the edge of the huge crater caused by the bombing, his eyes warily watching the movements beneath the rubble.

In order to "ensure" that "Zagnat" could be summoned, Jala had taken out all the fire stones of his Familia. The range of the explosion was definitely beyond what a mere "trap" could describe.

And if that still doesn't work...

"Snap... snap..."

In the ruins of the building, gradually shrouded in darkness, an unusual starlight rose up. A hand pushed aside the stone slab pressing down on it; it belonged to a girl with white hair.

Jaluo squinted.

When his eyes met those red eyes, his expression froze instantly.

"Who are you?!"

That hair, those eyes, and that black sword…

Who else could it be but his younger brother?!

Jāluó subconsciously thought this, but seeing her figure retracting to her side and assuming the Iaijutsu stance, this idea was completely shattered by "reality".

"Why? Why are you getting in my way, Joker!" Looking at the enemy's hideous figure, Jāra was filled with rage and hatred. At the same time, terror was also rapidly taking hold of him.

The drifting sacred texts, the magic that imitates others... who else could it be but the Joker?

He was afraid that if the Joker really became an enemy, if the Joker betrayed... no, abandoned him, then what would he do?

"Big brother... that looks like 'Jester'?!" Seeing their leader freeze in shock, the followers beside him reminded him, "Let's kill her! We'll be done for this time!!"

"!"

The voices of his subordinates rang in Jāra's ears, as if enlightening him.

Jaluo was stunned...

That's totally right!

Ciel had no reason to kill him!

Having colluded with Ciel from the very beginning, he was somewhat aware of the events that had occurred in Orario.

At least, Jāra knew that "noname" was a fabrication.

There is no Metluth, that is silence, that is absolute evil.

Damn, I was almost misled by the "jester" in the war game. That was the Joker in disguise, and the one in front of me seems to be the real one!?

but……

Damn, even the person in question is terrifying!

Jaluo cried.

That guy single-handedly crushed the Dark Faction Alliance at its peak!

He knows his own situation best. Although he recently reached level 5, it was only by barely meeting the "Durability D" requirement and through the infinite resurrection challenge in the "Undying Domain" that he managed to achieve this feat. He's a complete fraud.

Looking at these formidable enemies and their followers, a blush rose on his face as he said:

"Brother, let's do it! For Lord Thanatos's long-cherished wish, for Lord Jaluo's tragic wish! Activate that!"

Jaluo hesitated as he looked at the woods behind him, where a separate cluster of firestone traps was set up for the [Destroyers].

After all, if the Astrea Familia fails to defeat Zagnat as expected, they can use a trap to severely injure him and then capture him.

But the next second, he suddenly ripped off the mask of pain and burst into maniacal laughter.

The dungeon trembled once more. As the mournful cries of the dungeon gradually rose in his ears, a smile spread across his face:

"Haha, I've made it! Hahaha, here it is, my super rare pet! My Tamashi!"

"Jester! Today is your death day!"

Chapter 439 Brother, you've misunderstood me.

Like a blade cutting through a taut string, a piercing high-pitched sound came from the depths of the underground city.

"Ah...that's right, that's the voice, I will never forget it." Liu gripped his longsword tightly, his eyes fixed on the ceiling.

As the underground city wailed, a wide and long ravine stretched out from the crumbling, massive rock wall.

From the deep, vertically extending ravine, a chilling purple liquid and scorching hot air gushed forth...
