The Fukaros Familia, starting from DanMachi.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The violent explosions continued in succession, and scorching blasts swept across the entire platform.

Those Lv.1 Hilichurls and slimes were utterly helpless against this scale of wide-area magic, instantly turning to ashes in the flames.

Even the few Lv.2 mutated lightning slimes and large ice slimes that had just been alerted from deep within the platform and rushed to provide support were also wailing and exploding under the repeated bombardment of the flame javelins.

With a single strike, most of the area was wiped out!

"Wow...that's amazing magic!"

Feng Jin looked at the terrifying power and couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

Fenyu and the others also quickly retreated, avoiding the center of the explosion.

Lefia's attack instantly relieved a huge amount of pressure on them.

However, as the flames and smoke gradually dissipated, the two figures remained floating unharmed in the center of the explosion.

One was a short, stout figure enveloped in a deep blue ice crystal shield; it was the Lv.3 Ice Abyss Mage.

The other was a tall woman protected by a crackling purple lightning shield, a Lv.3 Fatui - Lightning Mage.

Although Lefia's magic was powerful, their elemental shields had extremely high magic resistance, greatly weakening the fire attack and steadily blocking the blow.

"Tsk, the troublesome guy has come out." Fen Yu's eyes narrowed.

The sorcerer Lei Ying let out a soft, silvery laugh that echoed through the empty temple, carrying a hint of mockery and danger.

The misty grass lantern in her hand swayed gently, and the three fireflies surrounding her buzzed.

Suddenly, her figure transformed into a streak of purple lightning and vanished from the spot in an instant.

The next moment, she appeared behind Lefia without warning.

"Be careful!"

Both the robin and the pheasant issued a warning.

But Lefia was completely caught off guard.

Teleportation, this incredible method of movement, was completely beyond her expectations.

Lei Ying, the sorcerer, gracefully raised her hand, and the lightning in her lantern suddenly blazed brightly.

A thick bolt of purple lightning descended from the sky, carrying a destructive aura, heading straight for Lefia's head.

Caught off guard, Lefia's mind went blank, her body stiffened, and she couldn't even muster the thought of dodging.

However, Fenyu had been wary of Lei Ying's move from the very beginning.

His body moved even as he issued the warning.

The stone slab beneath his feet suddenly exploded with a loud bang, and he shot out like an arrow, leaving a blurry afterimage in the air.

Just as the lightning was about to strike Lefia, a strong arm suddenly grabbed her slender waist and rolled her to the side.

Boom—!

Purple lightning struck the spot where Lefia had just stood, blasting a charred crater into the hard ancient stone slab, sending debris flying everywhere.

"Are you alright?" Fen Yu's deep voice rang in Lefia's ear.

Lefia then came to her senses and realized that she was being half-held in Fenyu's arms in a protective manner.

She could feel the strength and warmth from his arm, as well as the faint masculine scent mixed with fire and sweat.

Her face flushed red instantly.

"I...I'm fine...Thank you..."

Fen Yu did not let go of her; his left hand still held her tightly, while his right hand slashed forward with the longsword burning with flames.

A crimson sword light tore through the air, heading straight for the Thunderfire Mage who had just launched an attack and hadn't had time to teleport again.

The shield of the Thunderfire sorcerer was already at its limit after being bombarded by Lefia's magic.

Faced with Fen Yu's sword strike, which was infused with the power of [Eternal Flame], the thin lightning shield shattered like fragile glass, turning into countless purple light fragments.

The sorcerer Lei Ying let out a cry of surprise and tried to back away.

But at that moment, an invisible blast of compressed air struck her side precisely.

It was an attack by Kazemura.

Within the spiritual network of the [Harmony Family], Fen Yu's intention to attack had already been conveyed to Feng Jin.

She unleashed her magic almost simultaneously with the drawing of her sword, a gust of wind not intended to cause damage, but to disrupt the enemy's balance.

As expected, the sorcerer Lei Ying staggered, her body momentarily stiffening.

For Fen Yu, that moment was enough.

"it's over."

His cold voice rang out, and the flaming sword in his hand did not stop for a moment, piercing through the chest of the Thunderfire Sorcerer.

On the other side of the battlefield, the fighting was equally intense.

Tifa became entangled with the Ice Abyss mage.

Faced with that unbreakable ice shield, Tifa did not choose to confront it head-on.

She maximized her speed advantage, moving at high speed around the abyss mage like a butterfly dancing on a knife's edge, constantly dodging the ice spikes shot from the staff and the chill spreading from the ground.

"drink!"

Seizing an opening in an Abyss Mage's attack, Tifa activated the skill [Aura Release], unleashing a powerful burst of energy from her entire body.

Her speed increased again, and her continuous punches and kicks rained down on the ice shield like a storm.

boom!boom!boom!boom!

The sound of continuous, intense blows echoed, and ripples spread across the ice shield, but it remained steadfast without showing the slightest crack.

The difference in levels made Tifa's physical attacks ineffective.

"Play it!"

The robin's song rang out, and a sharp sonic wave struck the ice shield precisely with [White Flapping Wings].

However, the sound waves were also absorbed by the thick ice layer, only dimming the light of the ice shield slightly.

Just as the battle reached a stalemate, a burst of fire descended from the sky.

After rescuing Leifia and working with Feng Jin to kill the Lei Ying sorcerer, Fen Yu immediately rushed to provide support.

"With this sword's light in hand!"

The second verse of "The Flame Burns Forever" is now complete.

The crimson flames on the longsword in his hand suddenly surged, transforming from their original coiled state into a lightsaber made entirely of ultra-high temperature flames.

The air around the sword sizzled as it was burned, and even space itself seemed to distort.

"Get out of the way!" Fenyu shouted at Tifa through the telepathic network.

Tifa jumped backward without hesitation, putting distance between herself and the Abyss Mage.

The Ice Abyss Mage seemed to sense a deadly threat as well. It screamed and poured all its magic into the shield in front of it, causing it to glow with a brilliant icy blue light.

But it was all in vain.

Burning Feather's figure transformed into a straight line of fire, instantly rushing towards the Abyss Mage.

He raised the flaming sword high in his hand, and then slashed it down fiercely.

With a soft "sizzle" sound, like a hot knife cutting into butter.

The sturdy ice shield that was strong enough to withstand Lefia's wide-area annihilation magic and Tifa's continuous attacks was as fragile as paper in front of the super-high temperature fire sword, and was silently split in two.
