"Boom!"
In the explosion that shook the air and the green passage, dust rose like flas behind the group of man-eating flower monsters, resembling a small mushroom cloud.
In this breathtaking explosion, two figures rushed out from the rising dust and smoke, one wielding a crystal long sword, seemingly pursuing the latter, while the other raised a broken greatsword, in a backward flying posture, attempting to evade the forr’s attack.
The two burst out of the dust in a clearly confrontational manner, leaping into the air, capturing the attention of both the man-eating flower monsters and the adventurers present.
"Reiger!"
Ais looked at the two leaping figures in the air and shouted to the forr.
One of them was Reiger.
Reiger had just charged into the group of man-eating flower monsters, directly surpassing the monster group to attack a certain person at the rear.
Now, the opponent had clearly been caught off guard by Reiger’s offensive and was fiercely battling with him.
"Clang—Clang—Clang—Clang—Clang—"
Imdiately, accompanied by a series of intense tal collision sounds, the two in the air, one attacking and one defending, advancing and retreating, while leaping over the heads of the man-eating flower monsters, engaged in fierce combat, letting a flash of blades and swords appear instantly, performing a rapid sword dance within a blink, letting the sound of whistling winds continually resonate, and the sparks from weapon collisions scatter everywhere, imprinting into everyone’s eyes.
"Who is it?"
Asafi, guarded by mbers of the Hers Clan, gripped a short sword with a notable quality in one hand, cutting off several attacking tentacles, while holding a strange bottle like a grenade in the other, her gaze turning towards the air.
She intended to see the true face of the person fighting with Reiger but found the opponent’s strength astonishing; although caught in Reiger’s offensive, unable to escape, and flying backward in the air, the speed was still rather impressive, coupled with the continuous sword light around the opponent, making Asafi, a Lv.4 second-level adventurer, unable to catch up and see the opponent clearly.
Even Ais, in the urgency, couldn’t see the person’s face, but she knew the opponent was definitely not ordinary.
The reasoning was simple, just the fact that the opponent could withstand Reiger’s fierce attack, weaving together a sword dance akin to a flash of blades and swords, Ais was sure of her judgnt.
"A first-level adventurer...?"
Ais gave the opponent such an evaluation and prepared to rush forward to assist Reiger.
Among all present, only this city’s strongest female swordsman had the ability to intervene in such a fierce battle to help Reiger.
Unfortunately, the enemy did not allow it.
"Roar oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh...!"
In a nacing, jarring roar, the man-eating flower monsters seed to receive so command, collectively attacking Ais, leaving the Hers Clan mbers behind.
"Wait..."
"Ran away...!?"
"Watch out!"
"Quick! Stop them!"
Seeing the nurous man-eating flower monsters collectively charging at Ais, surrounding her, Hers Clan mbers first hesitated, then beca tense, Asafi even loudly ordered while throwing the bottle in her hand, smashing it above one man-eating flower monster’s head.
"Boom!"
In the next mont, the bottle exploded on the head of that man-eating flower monster, raising a fierce blaze and wave of fire, scorching the man-eating flower monster, making it emit a mournful scream.
That was one of the many magic tools made by the omnipotent, known as explosive dicine, a liquid explosive produced by Asafi using volcanic flowers growing near volcano craters in the northern part of the continent, similar in effectiveness to the magic bombs used by oasis knights in the neutral city, Sinjer.
This liquid explosive, which only Asafi could produce, could take down monsters from the middle layers with just a small bottle.
Using her specialized, high-powered magic tools, Asafi, a Lv.4 herself, could sotis exhibit power equivalent to a first-level adventurer, making her presence on the battlefield possibly more troubleso than many first-level adventurers for many enemies.
Facing a large number of man-eating flower monsters, Asafi utilized such magic tools, unleashing the power that omnipotent should have.
"Don’t run!"
"Stop there!"
"Ha aaaah!"
On the other side, the Hers Clan mbers, having received Asafi’s orders, charged forward, either using sharp weapons to injure the man-eating flower monsters or using shields to block in front of them, preventing their charge.
Thanks to this, even though Ais was surrounded by man-eating flower monsters and targeted by the flying tentacles everywhere, continuously jumping on the ground and in the air to evade the monsters’ attacks, this level of all-around assault did not pose a threat to her, making her transparent golden eyes condense, her silver military knife transform into a cold arc, chopping off the tentacles and heads of the man-eating flower monsters one by one, dealing with them one at a ti.
"Boom!"
At the sa ti, the person being pursued by Reiger finally had nowhere to retreat, their back smashing against the green at wall, hitting the wall, halting their backward flying posture.
"Tsk!"
The person uttered a very obvious tongue-click sound, then imdiately and decisively swung their sword, slashing forward.
This slash was powerful and heavy, not only fast but also strong, imdiately appearing unbeatable.
However, in the face of this powerful slash, Reiger was unafraid; instead of retreating, he boldly stepped into the opponent’s arms.
"Clang!"
With a flash of the crystal long sword, the broken greatsword was deflected.
Sparks scattered, and the fierce winds blew, causing Reiger’s bangs to sway continuously in the wind, yet unable to obscure those eyes coolly sharp to the extre, seemingly capable of piercing through an opponent’s flesh.
"Bang!"
Reiger, with a sword, deflected the enemy’s descending great sword, then spun around for a kick, a beautiful spinning kick that landed squarely on the enemy’s face, sending them flying heavily.
"[Maximum Enhance·Fireball]."
Having succeeded with one hit, Reiger did not stop attacking, but instead extended a finger in the direction of the enemy he had kicked away, unleashing magic.
Thus, a gigantic fireball, far larger than the previous one that had destroyed the at wall blocking the passage, ford at his fingertip, larger than Reiger himself, like a burning mini-teorite that Reiger blasted out.
The massive fireball swept across the sky, trailing a long fiery tail, looking truly like a teor streaking across the sky, as though a teorite was descending from the heavens, remarkably dazzling and radiant.
Faced with the fireball capable of burning everything, the person who was kicked away let out a cold, angry sound.
"Don’t underestimate !"
With a voice full of malice, the person actually abandoned the great sword, and punched towards the incoming fireball.
"Boom!"
Deafening explosions erupted instantly.
The explosive flas spread like tidal waves in the air, spreading towards the surroundings, unexpectedly wide and large in range.
"Roar!"
Nurous nearby carnivorous plant creatures were unfortunately caught in the explosive flas, letting out clattering screams, struggling and twisting desperately in the fire.
"Sizzle!"
The surrounding green at walls, ceilings, and floors were also affected by the flas, emitting a sound as if being roasted, really starting to wriggle like living creatures.
[Fireball], though only a third-tier magic, was a range attack magic, and in terms of attack range, even if it couldn’t compare with tactical level magic, it wasn’t far behind.
Even though Reiger now only had Lv.5 power, with a terrifyingly high "Magic Power" parater, combined with developntal abilities in "Magic Conduction" and "Magic Chanting" and double skill effects, this one [Fireball] possessed firepower comparable to Lv.7.
If not for Reiger disabling the effects of multiple treasures including Morgan’s Ring, this one [Fireball] would have been even stronger.
Therefore, under the attack of [Maximum Enhance·Fireball], not only was the intended target caught, but the surrounding carnivorous plant creatures and green at walls were dragged into it, becoming sacrifices to the blazing flas, burned and screaming continuously.
Reiger, executing this strike, finally descended from mid-air, landing on the ground, eyes slightly narrowing as he watched the flaming waves scorching everything ahead.
"Co out."
There was a flicker of transparent radiance in Reiger’s eyes, and he seed to have seen through sothing, speaking extrely calmly.
"Just now that strike wasn’t fatal for soone like you, I advise you not to continue hiding in the flas."
"Otherwise..."
Reiger extended his finger once more.
"With the next strike, let’s see if you dare to continue using your fists."
Along with these words, a suppression fell over the scene.
The carnivorous plant creatures were still roaring, still raging all over, causing Ais and the Hers Clan adventurers to constantly scurry about, weaving through nurous tentacles, engaging the carnivorous creatures.
The raging flas across the scene seed to have been restrained, gradually extinguishing on the wriggling at walls.
Not long after, a seductive, voluptuous silhouette stepped out from the flas.
"...You seem to know quite well, hateful adventurer."
In an icy, piercing voice, a red-haired woman slowly appeared.
"Pfft!"
She rudely spat out a mouthful of blood, then wiped her mouth with the back of her hand, removing the bloodstains.
Her attire had beco tattered, burnt marks evident all over her body, making her appear sowhat forlorn.
Especially her right hand, which was completely a ss of flesh and blood.
That was the hand she used to punch at the [Fireball] just now.
"Drip... Drip..."
Blood droplets continued dripping from that hand, soon reddening the ground.
The red-haired woman appeared indifferent, her eyes fixed on Reiger, filled with crimson killing intent.
"Seems I underestimated you."
The red-haired woman—Reveis said coldly.
Around her, nurous carnivorous plant creatures began to appear in succession.
