A crossover anime/manga series, starting with Kaguya's fiancé.

She pointed to the ceiling, where some dark figures were hanging.

"Their mouthparts are materials for making amplification magic items, but they are very fragile and need to be collected carefully."

Lynn nodded, his gaze fixed on the dark figures.

The Badbart bat is several times larger than a regular bat, with a pair of broad, leathery wings and sharp ears.

What is most striking are their protruding mouthparts, which resemble long, bony tubes.

These mouthparts glow faintly in the darkness; they are their tools for sucking blood.

"I'll do it," Lynn said eagerly.

He took a deep breath and swung his arm.

"call!"

A thick pillar of fire erupted from his palm, roaring like a fire dragon as it charged toward the swarm of bats overhead.

The flames were powerful, instantly engulfing several Badbart bats. They didn't even have time to scream before turning into charred remains and falling from the sky.

however,

When Lynn went to check, he found that the mouthparts that had been directly hit by the flames had also been burned to ashes along with the bat's body.

"Lynn! Isn't your fire a bit too big?" Kaguya walked up to the charred remains on the ground and said helplessly.

"These mouthparts are all burnt and unusable."

Lynn scratched his head, a little embarrassed. "Sorry, it was too big, I couldn't control myself."

Lynn refrained from using a wide-range pillar of fire when another Badbart bat swooped down from above.

He slightly opened his palm and flicked his fingertips lightly.

"laugh!"

A tiny flame, like a nimble snake, shot precisely at the bat's head, avoiding its mouthparts.

Bats rely on being flying monsters with sharp claws and mouthparts, but their physical strength is generally average.

The flames instantly ignited the bat's body, burning it to ashes, while its mouthparts fell to the ground intact.

A hint of surprise flashed in Kaguya's eyes.

Is this exquisite control of the flame something you just learned?

Lynn walked over to the fallen mouthparts and carefully picked them up.

He looked again at the swarm of bats hovering in the air, a smile spreading across his face.

Once you understand one thing, you understand everything.

Next,

Lynn's fire manipulation skills have demonstrated an amazing versatility.

He would sometimes lightly tap his fingertip, shooting out a thin line of fire as fine as a hair, precisely slicing open the bat's body, leaving only its mouthparts.

Sometimes, with a flick of his hand, a thin curtain of fire, as thin as a cicada's wing, would instantly unfold, enveloping the swarm of bats that were attacking, burning their flesh but not their bones.

Sometimes, he would even conjure a ball of flame the size of a thumb and shoot it out like a bullet, piercing through the bat's skull.

Throughout the entire process, those fragile mouthparts fell off unscathed.

Kaguya followed behind Lynn, watching his efficient and precise kills, and couldn't help but exclaim, "Your control over fire far exceeds my expectations."

...

On the other side, in the farmland outside Orario.

This is where the tribe of Demeter, the goddess of agriculture, used to grow pumpkins, but now it's a complete mess.

Alexandra squatted down, picked up a clump of soil, and frowned.

The vast pumpkin fields were utterly destroyed, with vines broken and fruits shattered, as if ravaged by some giant beast.

“Strange,” Leila hopped around on the edge of the field, her pink hair swaying with her movements.

"The damage looks like it was done by a big four-legged creature, but why isn't there even a single claw mark?"

Niz lay prone on the ground, her white wolf ears twitching warily. She brought her head close and sniffed the ground deeply.

"There was no smell of wild animals, only the smell of many people, a mixed and chaotic smell."

The gentle Maru had just returned from beside a still-shaken member of the Demeter Familia, and she shook her head slightly;

"They said they didn't see anything, and the field suddenly turned like this."

Alexandra stood up, her gaze sweeping over the messy footprints.

"The evidence looks like a human, but the scene looks like a wild beast. It's very strange."

The moment she finished speaking, a chilling killing intent erupted from the surrounding woods!

"careful!"

Alexie drew her rapier, "Crimson Order," from her waist.

0...Requesting flowers...0

Three figures emerged from the forest like ghosts, exuding the powerful aura of LV3 adventurers. Wielding sharp blades, they made no attempt to conceal their killing intent as they charged straight at Alisha.

"It's Vittor, the commander of Erebus! How dare you show your face?" Alexie shouted angrily.

However, all she received in response was Witt's cold and ruthless gaze and the spear thrusting straight at her.

The battle erupted instantly!

"Nitz!"

At Alexie's command, Niz immediately understood.

"Awooo—!"

The werewolf girl let out a high-pitched howl, her muscles bulging, and her short white hair standing on end. Like a cannonball, she charged towards an enemy wielding a giant axe on her left.

"when!"

Niz's claws collided violently with the giant axe, sparks flying. With her brute force, she managed to force her opponent back half a step.

At the same time, Leila had already nimbly rolled backward, creating distance between them.

With a flick of her small hand, several black spheres, accompanied by a whistling sound, flew in tricky arcs towards the other two enemies.

"Boom! Boom!"

Explosions rang out one after another, and the flames and thick smoke instantly disrupted the enemy's formation, creating an excellent opportunity for Alexie to launch a surprise attack.

"Burning fiercely, burning fiercely, burning fiercely, unleash the full power of fire!"

Alexandra's chanting was rapid and powerful.

【Red Chickweed】

Instant flames enveloped her limbs and the blade, her speed surged, and she transformed into a streak of red light, facing the leader, Victor.

...... 00

The sword light and the spear clashed fiercely in the air, producing a dense, rain-like sound of impact.

Alexandra's swordsmanship was like a raging storm, with flames trailing brilliant paths as she wielded the blade, completely overwhelming Vittor.

"Mallu!" Lyra called out urgently between throwing bombs.

Her opponent's attack was also sharp, leaving a bloody gash on her arm.

"cure!"

Maru's calm voice rang out on the battlefield, and a gentle healing light fell precisely on Lyra's wounds, causing the bloodstains to heal at a visible speed.

With Maru as their backup, the other three had no more worries and their offensive became even more ferocious.

Niz's attacks grew increasingly ferocious, her claws leaving deep, bone-revealing wounds on her enemies.

Lyra's explosive orbs kept coming out one after another, precisely blocking the enemy's movement and preventing them from covering both ends.

Alexie's offensive had reached its peak; the flame-wrapped "Crimson Order," like an angry fire dragon, completely tore apart Witt's defenses.

"Pfft!"

The sword tip sliced ​​through, leaving a charred wound on Witt's chest.

Witt grunted, a flicker of fear in his eyes, and he abruptly waved his hand, signaling a retreat.

The other three LV3 adventurers immediately withdrew, not lingering in the fight, and quickly retreated into the forest.

The flame at the tip of Alicia's sword hadn't completely died down. She looked in the direction the enemy had disappeared, and let out a cold laugh.

"Want to run?"

"Captain, don't pursue a cornered enemy!" Layla gasped for breath as she quickly replenished her small bag with explosives.

“No.” Alexandra shook her head decisively. “The fact that Witt showed up on his own initiative is suspicious in itself.”

"Now that they've just been injured, it's the perfect opportunity for us to capture him alive!"

Niz licked the blood off her paws, her gray wolf ears twitched, and her eyes gleamed with the excitement of a hunter. "I smell them. They can't have gone far!"

"Everyone be careful." Maru's voice was as calm as ever; she was ready to provide support at any time.

"Chase!" At Alisha's command, the four of them transformed into four swift shadows, following the tracks left by the enemy, and rushed into the dense forest.

The dappled sunlight filtering through the trees created a fierce yet silent chase.

Alexie and the others kept close to each other, both pushing their speed to the limit, with only the rustling of leaves being blown by the strong wind.

Just as they were about to rush out of the woods, a figure dressed in blue came towards them and nearly collided with them.

"Alissie?" The newcomer was Adi of the Ganesha Familia, and she looked slightly surprised.

"Adi! Help!" Alexie didn't have time to explain further. Pointing to the three dark figures that had just darted out of the woods, she said urgently, "It's Witt of Erebus! Don't let them get away!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Adi turned around and moved to flank Witt in the other direction from which he had fled.

With Adi's addition, the encirclement was formed instantly.

The three of them, including Witt, were clearly not prepared for an unexpected surprise, and their speed noticeably slowed down.
