The vast expanse of vegetation covering the entire chapel emitted a light white mist. And then—

──The forbidden area is liberated.

As long as it is within the Queen's domain, the true sublimation magic effect will definitely be achieved.

The members of the Liberator camp were simultaneously enveloped in a vibrant, leaf-colored glow. And so—

“Fufu, I almost died—[Recovery Field]!!”

Tigne, who had been stabbed in the heart, had revived. In her precarious state, she activated "Recovery," healing herself bit by bit even as her consciousness faded. With the blessing of sublimation magic, the wound healed completely in an instant.

At the same time, she activated a wide-area magic that "restores only allies." A radiance like the dawn instantly saved all of her companions.

Old Mr. Yaser also came back from the brink of death.

"How long are you going to drag it out?! Let's decide the winner!"

He roared as he stood up, and at the same time blasted Tules. The corrosive smoke was also blown away by the blast.

"Understood. It's time for the massacre, Aegis!!"

Bart swung the Aegis in his hand dramatically, causing it to unleash a vast swarm of jet-black magic blades, numbering three hundred. Two hundred of these blades stabbed at Tureth, while the rest attacked the surrounding White Light Knights.

The power of this attack was completely different from the previous one, and the Second Holy Armor was instantly damaged. The knights, unable to withstand the attack, howled in pain.

"Damn it, his skills are completely different now!"

Leleye shot a series of light arrows at Bart, the power of which was significantly reduced, but they were easily deflected, as if he was deflecting a flying pebble.

The same is true for Strauss.

"Hmm, is this the effect of the sea of ​​trees and white mist?!"

"You finally revealed your flaws."

The white mist had the effect of hindering cognition. Although it was weak, it was enough to disrupt Strauss's smooth "Phantom Dance".

As a result, Strauss was caught in the vines under his feet and fell slightly. Under normal circumstances, he would never make such a mistake. But Loris did not miss this opportunity.

But Loris split the giant scissors in two and slashed them simultaneously. One blade hit the phantom, but missed; the other finally cut a shallow wound on Strauss's upper arm.

"Hmph, this little injury..."

"Wail! ――[Increase the pain]!"

Then, Strauss screamed so miserably that people thought he was going to die.

This was caused by Korolis's inherent magic, "Pain Manipulation." This magic can alleviate pain for herself and her allies, and can also amplify pain after inflicting minor injuries on an enemy. With the addition of sublimation magic, the effect is akin to torture.

"Very good, now!"

"Stop hiding, you damn cockroach!"

Ah Kuang fired a blue flame spear array at Strauss. A knight holding the second holy shield was about to rush over to protect the legion commander, but was hit hard by Ned. The whole person flew out, a distance that was a bit ridiculous.

Strauss's expression was no longer relaxed, so he turned to Mox and asked for help...

"Oh, that's an ugly expression. It looks like a cannibal."

"Once you have the upper hand, you're so mean!"

"That's right, Bakara, I'm in great shape now! This is the worst my mouth has ever been in my life!"

"It's so noisy! Has even your voice gotten louder?!"

Dean Nadia dodged Mox's axe spear and struck him in the chest with a palm strike. Mox thought that a woman's slender arms were nothing to be afraid of, but the next second he coughed and spat out blood, his eyes rolling back.

"It finally worked! The expression twisted in pain is truly hideous!"

Although Nadia's vocation as a physician is to be a "healer," she did not serve as a healer alongside Tigne, but instead fought on the front lines. This was because Dean Nadia Biscott was a master of melee combat.

Her primary combat method is the use of recovery magic, which causes the opponent's internal organs to overactivate, leading to self-destruction.

Her unique magic, "Magic Penetration," was originally intended to enhance the healing efficiency of her rare healing magic. However, if used offensively, it could bypass armor and become a terrifying move that destroyed the body from within.

Due to the magical defense of the Second Holy Armor and the inherent magical resistance of her apostle-like body, Nadia's previous attacks had been ineffective. However, now that Mox's power had been greatly reduced, and Nadia herself had been blessed by sublimation magic, her attacks finally took effect.

Then, Bakara unleashed his innate magic, Quicksand, to destabilize Mox. Solas then launched a scalpel, a medical instrument, into the attack, a move completely unbecoming of a physician. The scalpel was coated in a deadly poison, a toxin synthesized within Solas's body through his innate magic, Poison Generation.

So, Mox was left with no time to take care of himself.

After realizing that he couldn't count on Mox's help, Strauss turned to look at Wapura. However, the result was as expected—

"You're too hard, aren't you!?"

"It's such an honor to be praised by the Sword Master."

Vapura's slashes were completely ineffective against Marshall. Combining the effects of his greatsword, Diamond, and full armor, Marshall unleashed his impenetrable defense, living up to his name, the Unbreakable Shield, and blocking Vapura's blow head-on.

In addition, Xiu Xiu, Tony, and Ivy also fully recovered due to the effects of "Recovery".

"It's time to die!"

"Xiu Xiu is really going crazy. Ivy, don't stand in front of her."

"It has come to this, I can't be killed by mistake!"

The three of them dealt with the surrounding White Light Knights and six of the swords surrounding Wapura. At this moment, helpers arrived, having determined that Nadia and the others didn't need them.

"Jaclyn, cooperate with me!"

"Yes, dear Hauser!"

This response was so charming that it made one think someone was having a date on the battlefield. At the same time, the two swords behind Wapura were blown away by the wind cannon.

Seeing that his opponent's back was defenseless, Hauser leaped into the air, raised his sword high, and chopped down hard on his opponent's forehead.

“Hmm…!”

"Tsk, you can actually dissipate such force with just your skills!?"

Wapra blocked Marshall's sword with one hand, then turned sideways and used the other sword to deflect Hauser's sword.

His miraculous skills were indeed worthy of the title of Sword Saint, but it was still not enough to completely eliminate the destructive power caused by the prosthetic limb and the greatsword. His left arm hung down limply.

"If you keep going like this... Tsk! Lelaie, release that!"

Wapura called back the two swords that Jaclyn had blasted away earlier, and shouted while protecting his left hand.

“What!? B-but, that’s already…”

"Look at the situation carefully! Now is not the time to hold back! We must at least destroy that coffin!"

“Got it!”

Wapura glanced at Adel, who was holding a coffin-shaped shield and continuously activating "Reversal: Decline Execution".

After Adel finished his work, he was now free to attack. True to his nickname, "Magic Maniac," he continuously unleashed various complex and destructive compound spells, like a stationary artillery turret, a very imposing presence on the battlefield.

For the Cavaliers, it is indeed necessary to deal with Adel first and try to narrow the ability gap that has been reversed.

Even if it means using means that may hurt one's own people, it will not be hesitated.

Lelaye gave the order, and a white light knight near the altar ran to the wall deep inside the chapel and input magic power into the magic circle hidden in the wall.

Suddenly, a pillar at the deepest part began to hum and spin, drilling into the ceiling like a loose screw. Where the pillar disappeared, a staircase leading to the lower level appeared.

—Roaroo ...

The roar, like a creature just awakened, shook the entire cathedral.

Heavy footsteps thudded out from the darkroom that had just been opened. Bart and the others broke into cold sweats upon seeing that presence.

“What the hell is that…?”

"Don't tell me that's a sacred beast... It looks like a complete monster."

That thing looks like a human, but it doesn't look like a human at all.

It was over three meters tall, but its body was grotesque. Slabs of muscular muscle were a chaotic fusion of fragments of armor, and its fingers were metal claws. Its feet were stout prosthetic limbs, and red stones were embedded in its forehead and chest, beating like a heart.

Even more terrifying was the fact that boiling white magma continued to leak from its mouth. There was no other word to describe its appearance except "monster."

"Vice-Captain... No, Elem! If you still have any dignity left as a knight, then act! Suppress the heretics!"

Hearing Leleye's cry, the Liberators were stunned. Chris and the others, who had fought against Alem many times in the West Sea, were especially incredulous.

Elem Ockerman—former Vice-Captain of the Knights of White Light. However, this monster now looked nothing like Elem. If one were to find a similarity, the color of the oozing magma was indeed the same as Elem's inherent magic, "Holy Flame."

—Roar!

The roar seemed to be in response to Lelaye's command.

"Vice-Captain!? Stop—"

No, it seemed not. The red stone on its chest glowed, and the monster instantly extended its right claw, tearing the White Light Knight who had just disarmed the darkroom mechanism in half with the ease of tearing paper.

──Lao Si! Lao────Si────Aa ...

Resentment. The monster's heart held only resentment. Even if it lost its mind and became a monster, the only thing it would never forget was the resentment it held towards the commander it once revered.

A roar filled with resentment shook the cathedral, and white magma spurted out of the monster's mouth like a water gun.

The white scorching torrent burned up the surrounding plants in the blink of an eye and devoured many fighters from the White Light Knights and Liberator camps.

The defensive power of the Second Holy Armor and the Metal Bartram was completely ineffective. The white magma was a viscous, fluid flame. Once it penetrated the cracks and touched the flesh, it would completely melt it in a matter of seconds. Many agonized howls echoed in the air, and the scene resembled a hellish hell.

"Don't even think about running wild!"

A dagger was thrust into the right eye of Erim, the symbol of tyranny—no, a "monster" fused with numerous divine artifacts.

Katie was the one who took action. With her agility, she suddenly appeared on the monster's shoulder as if she had teleported. She left Seth to Chris and went to deal with the monster herself.

──Ross────! !

"nausea!!"

The monster swung its claws as if to swat away a fly, but Katie was faster.

She leaped upwards, standing upside down in the air. Using her divine boots, she created a "gravity barrier" in the air as a foothold. With a push of her feet, she rushed down again, using the force of gravity and her weight to stab the monster's left eye with another dagger.

—Gahhhhhh!!

“No way!? You’re not going to die like this!?”

White magma erupted in large quantities like a volcanic eruption. Katie retreated with a speed as fast as teleportation and landed on the ground.

Then she pulled two large kukri knives from the leather sheaths wrapped around her thighs and got down on all fours.

The buttocks are raised high, the back is bent softly, and the cat's tail wags twice.

—Kill! Heresy! Betrayal! Kill!

"You can't do it! Because... no one can keep up with my speed!"

I don't know what sense the monster uses to sense the enemy, but he allowed two daggers to pierce his eyes and shot out several pieces of lava continuously.

"I'll distract him! Tigne, heal everyone!"

"yes!"

In order to save as many companions as possible, Katie called out to the stunned Tigne loudly, and at the same time rushed into the black and white area formed by a large amount of magma without hesitation.

Speed ​​up, speed up again. Both your mind and your body must keep speeding up.

Chunks of magma shot out one after another. A high-heat beam swept across. Its retractable claws were so sharp they seemed to rip through space.

Katti dodged all of these attacks and used the briefest of opportunities to hack at the monsters.

To the eyes of others, she looked like a flash of white lightning. With lightning-fast speed, she moved in a zigzag pattern, moving freely up and down, left and right, completely restraining the monster's movements. Her white hair swayed rapidly with her body.

With the blessing of true sublimation magic, Katie's speed is overwhelmingly fast. It is no exaggeration to say that no one can keep up with her.

However, the monster was not easy to deal with. He completely ignored the damage around him and frantically launched large-scale attacks, just to defeat Katti.

"You actually called out something like that! You won't get away with it if you keep going like this."

Bart said this with disdain to Tourez and Leleye.

Le Laye's eyes were bloodshot, and he retorted angrily, like the roar of a wild beast.

"As long as I can kill you all, I will not hesitate to die! We, the Knights of White Light, do not know despair. Martyrdom is our honor! This battle will not end until either side is completely annihilated!"

“…Hmph. I think so.”

Bart sighed. He had thought he might have a chance to persuade them to surrender, but it seemed pointless.

"Ah!" At this time, a childish cry of surprise rang out.
