Linglan clasped her hands together towards Elise.

"Grace and I will act according to the situation."

"Well, since Ella-chan and Eve-chan are not here, try not to take direct attacks, and use magic that conserves mana."

Commanding everyone to disperse, Iris quickly rose into the air and pointed her staff forward. Like a high-speed cannonball, the deep-sea octopus slapped the water surface hard and rushed towards everyone.

""slow"."

A milky white halo, centered on the staff, quickly enveloped the deep-sea octopus. In just a blink of an eye, the deep-sea octopus, which was originally in flight, suddenly slowed down. It was not until everyone was in the air that it crashed heavily into the rocks of the island, stirring up huge sand and dust as high as tens of meters. Not only that, even the sea water around the island was stirred up by the spreading aftermath, and waves as high as a person were raised.

"Tsk, this is really tricky."

Shen Gan smacked his lips. Just as Camisia had reminded him in advance, the tentacles of the deep-sea octopus had the effect of absorbing vitality and magic. Whenever the tentacles of the deep-sea octopus touched the plants on the shore, the plants would quickly wither and eventually turn into a handful of dust. The whole process took less than ten seconds.

"After seeing this, I really don't dare to try to resist..."

"No, I think it's better to give up close combat."

Facing Nanako's muttering, Mitis smiled bitterly and said that the weakest among all people were Nanako and Tifarian. Not to mention Tifarian, as for Nanako, who Mitis knew best, Nanako's magic power would be exhausted after using her strongest attack, and Nanako's strongest attack happened to be a throwing skill, which did not require any close combat.

"If we leave like this, the pressure on Fukagan and Miss Tifarian will increase. We can't retreat here."

"Really? If that's what Nanako says, I'll have to work harder."

"I didn't expect that guy to choose to fight on shore. No, this is actually an opportunity for us—let's go!"

While the deep-sea octopus was still struggling to pull its head out of the giant pit, Tifarian added the "Holy Flame" magic to her rapier, and with a golden light that lit up the night sky, she launched an attack from the air with an indomitable momentum.

“‘Flash’!”

Although theoretically a rapier is not suitable for actual combat, the rapier in Tifarian's hand is a specially processed product. The hexagonal structure with the addition of a "sharp blade" will not break even if you chop hard. On the contrary, it can easily cut through ordinary steel.

flutter.

The sound of a rapier cutting into flesh was followed by an unpleasant smell of burning and an unpleasant, sticky, squirming sound.

"Tsk, even the 'Holy Flame' can only cause minor damage."

If the deep-sea octopus had reacted violently, Tifarian might have just felt nervous, but seeing the unresponsive appearance now, Tifarian had no other emotions except the anger of being despised.

"In that case, how about trying this—'Disappear in the Holy Light'!"

A sacred flame even more powerful than the "Holy Flame" instantly spread from Tifarian's hands to the tip of the sword. Unlike the first attack which only brought a slight burnt smell, the additional magic this time not only dried up the moisture on the surface of the deep-sea octopus, but also caused its skin to shrink and eventually ignite. From an outsider's perspective, it looked like someone had poured a bucket of gasoline on the deep-sea octopus that was already on fire.

After reaching level 30, Tifarian could freely use the magic that she once used as a sure-kill weapon.

“Hiss—”

But when Tifarian was still feeling proud of her attack, the deep-sea octopus had already gathered three tentacles and attacked from behind where Tifarian could not see.

"Tifarian, come back soon!"

"Explosive Bomb."

boom.

The projectile with an orange-red tail flame accurately hit the three giant tentacles twisted together and blew them apart easily. Although only part of the flesh was blown away, most of the tentacles still retained their functions, but it still served to delay time.

"As expected of my sister."

"Instead of being so self-absorbed, Tifarian, you should pay attention to yourself. Nanako, help me delay for a while."

"Yes, Onee-sama."

"No……"

Although she felt shy about being called "Onee-sama", now was not the time to talk about it. While Nanako was using her spear to deflect the flying tentacles, Mitis flapped her wings in mid-air and brought Tifarian away from the octopus at a clever angle.

"You won't have us to help you if you face it alone. Tifarian, you should pay more attention to yourself when fighting."

"No...I just happened by mistake. But judging from here, that attack didn't actually do much damage."

Looking down at the back of the deep-sea octopus from high above, Tifarian curled her lips. Although her attack just now was quite powerful, it only set fire to an area less than three meters away. To the deep-sea monster that was nearly a hundred meters tall, it was not a threat at all.

"By the way, where's Fukagan?"

Glancing around the battlefield, Elise, Linglan, and Grace were dealing with most of the tentacles, while Camisia and Dean kept hitting the octopus's head hard, not giving it a chance to raise its head from the mud. As for Shen Gan, there was no trace of him at all.

"Eh? You were right next to me just now..."

With Tifarian's reminder, Mitis also discovered that Shen Gan was not nearby.

"Ms. Fukagan is there!"

Nanako returned to the air and pointed at a part of the deep-sea octopus and shouted. In her field of vision, Fukagan was controlling a weapon that looked very much like an enlarged version of a hexagonal snowflake.

"what is that?"

Tifarian asked naturally.

"It seems to be a magic weapon that Ella made a few days ago. She said that Fukagan had never been able to find a weapon that was suitable for him. Using only blade claws would not be convenient for fighting large monsters, so she gave him that strange thing."

"Since it's a gift from Ella, there shouldn't be any problems. I'd say Ella is quite talented for creating this weapon, but it's even more terrifying that Fukagan got used to it in just a few days... It takes a long time to get used to a strange weapon, right?"

"Ms. Fukagan has made a move."

Using stealth techniques to eliminate his presence, Fukama quietly appeared on one of the deep-sea octopus's tentacles, holding a strange weapon that Ella named "Ondine's Curse."

As befits its enormous size, each of the deep-sea octopus's tentacles has a diameter of nearly twenty meters. Ordinary anti-human weapons are completely incapable of causing any harm to it. Realizing this, Fukagami frowned.

"...Even though I have the weapons given to me by my senior, I'm still a little unsure."

In order to deal with large monsters, Ella deliberately added metal that would expand in size after being injected with magic power when casting the Curse of Undine. Although it would become more troublesome to use, the user would only feel one-tenth of the weight of the body, so it was not ridiculously difficult to use. As for the method of use, since the appearance of the Curse of Undine completely imitated a hexagonal snowflake, both sides were extremely sharp and could not be held in hand at all. Therefore, Ella used the characteristic of the Sword of Disorder that could be operated remotely as a prototype and imitated the same structure.

Although Wendini's curse cannot leave a distance of one meter around Shen Gan at this stage, this is enough for Shen Gan. Wendini's curse is much stronger than ordinary weapons in terms of flexibility and power. In an emergency, Shen Gan can even use Wendini's curse as a shield in front of him. It is a weapon that is very difficult to master, but once you get the hang of it, it is extremely powerful.

"The maximum we've tried so far is 25 meters... After that, the weight will exceed our physical capacity, making it difficult to control flexibly. But for now, 15 meters seems to be enough."

After visually estimating the diameter of the deep-sea octopus's tentacles, Shen Gan began to inject magic power into the curse of Wendini that was slowly spinning in his palm. He was standing in the middle of the tentacle, and the diameter was less than ten meters at most.

"Phase one has begun."

Following Shen Gan's whisper, Wendini's curse suddenly accelerated its rotation speed, and its surface, as transparent as ice crystal, began to flash with blue light. Its size of only half a meter also rapidly expanded with the input of magic power.

"Sharp Blade."

A layer of white light was added to the sharp edge of a blade. Patiently waiting for the strengthening magic to be completed step by step, Shen Gan injected magic power with a momentum that tried not to be discovered.

"All of this could have been done in a split second... I'll need to practice more when I get back. Hmm—is it ready yet?"

Tilting his head, Shen Gan looked at the ice crystal at least five meters in size spinning around him. The magic power gathered inside was ready to be released at any time.

"Then, 'Liberation'."

Without warning, a dazzling icy blue light emerged from Wendini's curse, suddenly covering Shen Gan, and at the same time—

wow-

Along with the icy blue light, a straight line of ocean tide rolled in from the distant sky and reached the Branch of Disaster. From the perspective of Mitis and others, it was as if Fukagami had summoned the ocean tide—the grand festival had begun.

Perhaps it noticed the huge magical fluctuations from Shen Gan's side, so the deep-sea octopus swung its huge tentacles to try to shake Shen Gan off, while at the same time wrapping its tentacles with suction cups around the tentacles where Shen Gan was standing. In this way, even if it could not shake Shen Gan off, it could use the strange force of the two tentacles squeezed together to strangle Shen Gan to death.

but--

"The first batch of results will be collected by me and Senior."

He jumped high into the air with the help of the air pedal, and then used the effect of teleoperation to continuously rotate the Curse of Undine in his hand. The Curse had expanded to 15 meters and suddenly swung it towards the tentacles following closely under his feet.

Phew.

Like brittle paper, the originally tough octopus tentacles were easily cut into two pieces, and countless white juices flew in the air, emitting a disgusting fishy smell. Not only that, because the deep-sea octopus extended two tentacles at the same time, this blow even cut off the subsequent tentacles. Finally, with a snap, two twenty-meter-long tentacles fell to the ground.

Including the deep-sea octopus, the scene fell into an eerie silence, with only the huge tentacles that fell on the island and lost the control of their owner twisting continuously.

One second later.

“Eeheeeheeeh—!”

The deep-sea octopus's entire body began to tremble constantly. It no longer used magic to cover its head to defend against Camisia and Dean's attacks, but instead spread the magic power throughout its body, and an unstable blue-purple light like lightning appeared on its body surface.

"Oh no, that guy is going to use his innate magic."

"Miss Camisia, Miss Mitis, come back soon!"

Camisia hesitated when she heard Lotte's shouting. Although the wisest choice now would be to evade the attack, if she simply avoided it without any response, the octopus's attack would undoubtedly be discovered by the people on the shore. You know, the main reason why Camisia and Dean didn't choose to kill the octopus directly was because they were worried that the magic would be too powerful and would ruin the festival.

Although Shen Gan's magic just now was eye-catching, the fireworks display had just started at that time, so people would only think of it as a background prepared by Dean. If he had used his own killer magic, it would probably not be discovered until the grandest fireworks bloomed in the sky.

However, compared to Camisia's hesitation, Mitis and others who had cooperated with Ruthie many times in the maze reacted much faster. They didn't even think about why Ruthie said that. Including Linglan and Grace, the six people chose to retreat in the direction of Ruthie.

"Camisia, don't hesitate, come here."

Mitis, who was faster, pulled Camisia.

"Trust Lotte."

"In that case...Dean, let's go."

"Um."

Taking one last look at the deep-sea octopus lying in the mud pit and about to raise its head, with a large amount of blue-purple electric light gathered all over its body, Camisia frowned and turned into a red meteor and rushed towards Luty.

“Ugh!”

"Lotte-chan, are you ready?"

"Well, I will never let it be used, Your Highness Elise."

Iris, who has reached level 39, stood quietly beside Luty, surrounded by six gems symbolizing the six elements. She had completed the chanting of the spell and was ready to cast the prepared magic at any time.

As for Lotte, although it was not as obvious as Iris's, it was the same. With Hela as the center, six different colors of light surrounded the gun body.

Iris nodded at Lotte's answer and pointed her staff at the deep-sea octopus that was about to launch a devastating attack three hundred yards away from the two of them.

"Then, chain chant—"

""Silent Field""

Chapter 79: Light the fireworks for the festival!

As the two people moved, a layer of hazy purple light mist suddenly spread towards the deep-sea octopus, like a flame that was splashed with water. In just a moment of contact, the blue-purple electric light on the deep-sea octopus disappeared.

——It prevents creatures in the area whose level is lower than that of the caster from using magic. This is the most primitive "Silence Field". The "Silence Field" used by Iris and Lotte now is a version improved by Iris.

Although the original "Silence Field" has the advantage of not losing its effectiveness until the magic circle is destroyed once it is deployed, its disadvantages are also obvious. The first is that it can only be presented in the form of a magic circle and lacks flexibility. The second is that it can only be used on people with lower levels than itself and lacks versatility. After Iris's improvement - or rather, transformation, the "Silence Field" has changed from a rigid magic circle to a magic that can be cast remotely.

Although it sacrificed the characteristic of being permanently effective once triggered, it also had a qualitative improvement in flexibility and versatility. According to Lis's prediction, the chain chanting of the two could prevent the deep-sea octopus from using magic for three seconds.

The fact was just as Iris had thought. The magic that the deep-sea octopus was about to cast was forcibly interrupted by the purple light mist. Perhaps it was suffering from the backlash of its own magic power. The remaining six tentacles twisted together in pain, and the huge strange force instantly flattened all nearby obstacles.

"A mind-interference magic? A magic that can forcibly stop a deep-sea octopus must be at least level five, right? As expected of a princess of the Godman tribe."

Dean came to Iris's side and nodded in affirmation without hesitation, praising her.

"No, it's just an improved version of Silence Field, and it can't be used without Lotte-chan."

To be precise, it would be unusable without Hela as a magic converter, but this is not the time to discuss magic theory in detail, so Iris did not explain in depth.

However, Dean, who was keen on magic research, had no intention of letting go. Like a hunter seeing his prey, Dean's eyes hidden in his wrinkles suddenly lit up.

"Converting the Silencing Field into a spell? No... this is a quantum leap. How did they do it? The Silencing Field can only be manifested by setting up a magic circle. If they can convert the Silencing Field into a spell, other magic circles should be able to be converted using the same method... This is definitely a miracle in the world of chanting magic—"

"This is all thanks to Lotte-chan. If you have any questions, go to Lotte-chan."

Before Dean could finish his words, Iris waved her hand in disgust and turned her attention to the deep-sea octopus in the distance that had noticed her.

"Lord Luti?"

Dean was stunned. If he had to choose the person in the world who was the hardest for him to ask for help, the first person would definitely not be Ella, but Lotte. When he was first in the western demon territory, Dean had clearly expressed his contempt for Lotte, a slave. Although Dean had apologized many times after that, until now, Dean still felt it was difficult to ask Lotte for help.

Seeing Dean's embarrassment, Luty stood up and showed Hela in her hand.

"Mr. Dean went to Miss Ella and told her that things would be better. Although Her Highness Elise attributed the success to me, the real culprit was the magic device Hela that Miss Ella gave me."

"Is that so... I understand."

"That guy is coming—no, it's that guy's magic!"

Mitis's shout brought everyone back to their senses, but by the time everyone reacted, the deep-sea octopus's lightning magic had already reached everyone.

laugh--

"Distracting yourself on the battlefield...isn't a good thing..."
