"Fireball!" Justine launched four fireballs towards the point where our swords t. The flas from our blades devoured her fire, growing even stronger than before.
The concentrated power we held was more than enough to destroy the dungeon's boss.
"This combo of yours is truly incredible, Sarah. I'm impressed," I praised their newfound power.
Sarah stood beside , her red hair blending with the flas of our swords. Yet even as she radiated power, her face was flushed as red as a tomato.
"Eh? Really? You actually liked it?" For so reason, Sarah seed a bit nervous at my words.
It wasn't exactly the best mont for this, but I kept smiling. "How could I not? The power you two discovered will be the key to our victory."
"Ahh, actually, this combo was my idea," Sarah quickly added, eager to take credit for the combined attack.
"Damn you, humans!!" Zalrorg cursed. The flas of his crown seed faint, as if they were drawing their final breath before fading away.
Though his voice trembled with anger, the Lich before could no longer hide his fear of the end as he stared at the flas surrounding Sarah and .
I turned to the undead who had caused so much trouble—for , for Ironburgh Town, and for my Valkyries. "These sa humans you despise will be the ones who bring you down."
The flas behind us crackled impatiently. I couldn't hold them back much longer. I glanced at Sarah, and with a nod, we agreed to unleash our attack.
"This is your end, Zalrorg!" I shouted.
Together, we raised the raging inferno behind us. The fire we wielded was so fierce and untad that it felt like the breath of a fire dragon. With everything we had, we unleashed our final strike, pouring our very spirits into the blow.
Our diagonal slashes carved an X across the skeleton before us, each bone disintegrating as it was devoured by the flas.
When it was over, a mist spread across the hall. The ice that once covered the ground had lted away, leaving behind solid earth. Where our flas had collided with Zalrorg, a crater remained—as if the ground itself had been blasted apart by an explosion.
At last, the battle was over. After everything we had gone through with the Ghosts and Derug, the boss of this cursed dungeon—Zalrorg—had finally been defeated.
And with his defeat, our levels increased as well.

Our levels had increased significantly, and on top of that, we had received a large amount of Status Points. The number of my Valkyrie slots hadn't changed yet—that would only happen once I destroyed the core of the dungeon and finally brought this mission to an end.
I didn't waste much ti and allocated the newly gained Status Points into what I considered the best stat distribution for each of us.

'Huh, what's this?' I thought inwardly, noticing sothing unusual on my screen.
I checked the Valkyrie Tar System HUD, and it seed I had gained sothing more than my usual rewards.
[
Devil Crystal: A consumable item capable of summoning a demon. Thanks to your Valkyrie Tar class, the demon created from this crystal will beco your servant. It also grants you an additional Valkyrie slot, though the creature will not have a class.
]
'Why did I receive sothing like this?'
At that mont, Brandish's gentle voice echoed in my ears. 'Because the monster you defeated had the power to create demons. So you received this as one of the rewards for defeating it. This item will allow you to create a demon in any way you can imagine, but the crystal will be destroyed the mont it's used, and the demon will be bound to you from then on.'
'I see.'
So that ant I could now have a monster join my party. But since it seed like sothing quite delicate—and could only be done once—it was better to save it until after the mission was complete.
'I'll find the core of this dungeon, destroy it, and finish this mission quickly,' I thought inwardly. But for so reason, I felt like I was forgetting sothing.
"Huh?" A hoarse sound escaped my throat as I felt sothing unusual happening to my body.
At that mont, I rembered exactly what I had forgotten. It wasn't just who felt strange—I could see that my Valkyries were experiencing the sa thing. The side effect of Ero Boost had begun.
