Having dealt with the Dark Disciples, Gacha's group finally arrived above the palace at the final moment of Noelle's defeat.
"Interesting." Vanica, crushing the lightning, tilted her head and sized up the newcomers, messy blue arcs of electricity still dancing incessantly on her massive blood-red hand. "How did you defeat my Dark Disciples?"
"How strange, the curse symbols placed on them have all disappeared."
"Oh my, Megicula, do you also have moments where you fail?"
Amidst the conversation between one person and two souls, Megicula's voice was cold: "Perhaps among them, there is Arcane Stage Magic similar to the Sealing Magic from earlier."
"...Interesting enough, to even be able to erase my Curse Symbol Magic."
"Great!" Vanica laughed wickedly. "I didn't feel satisfied just now, so let's have a real rampage now!"
As the two sides faced off in a mid-air stalemate.
The Heart Kingdom's Spirit Guardian, led by Gacha, sized up Vanica, who had released 70% of her Devil Power. At this moment, she had dark red horns, half of her body retained its original appearance, while the other half had turned pitch black. The black mana she released invisibly exuded a cold, terrifying aura.
The crimson blood wings and the hideous, massive blood hands were far more terrifying than what they had seen last time!
But... looking at the severely injured Queen beside her.
They ignored the terrifying mana emanating from Vanica and struck first. Petrov, one of the Spirit Guardian, slapped his hand into the air, and vines generated by Nature Magic, wrapped in golden runes, entwined toward Lolopechka.
They had to save the Queen, Noelle, and the others first!
But how could Vanica give him the chance?
The hideous blood hand swung forward, and the claw-like blood-line slashes easily severed Petrov's vines, sending fragments of vines fluttering down everywhere.
"What are you trying to do?" Vanica looked at the person who attacked with a cold expression. The next moment, that cold expression changed drastically as she giggled: "If they are here, you will use your full strength, right?"
There was no more hesitation.
The Devil Power dissipating from Vanica's body burned like black flames. "Blood Magic: Red Beast Pack!"
A massive amount of blood was released, forming grotesque scarlet beasts that charged toward Gacha's group. They opened their bloody maws wide, fearless of death—true beasts.
"Everyone, be careful!"
At Gacha's warning, everyone began to deal with the scarlet beasts that rushed in front of them in an instant.
Piles of earth,
Swirling wind blades,
A giant sheep emerging from behind Charmy... For a moment, everyone's magic appeared at once, creating strange phenomena in the sky. Gacha, Luck, and Leopold were the first to break through the scarlet beasts attacking them and immediately counterattacked.
Gacha took the lead and attacked first. As his right hand pointed at Vanica, golden runes condensed between his fingers, and blue electric arcs began to crackle: "True Lightning Magic: Roaring Multi-Directional Chorus!"
Enhanced by Mana Method, the Lightning Magic transformed from mana gathered natural power, far surpassing the bolt of lightning that had attacked Vanica just now.
The lightning roared, pouring out relentlessly!
The blue lightning continuously branched out like the limbs of a new tree, with a faint hint of brilliant white appearing at the tips.
Vanica conjured another massive blood hand, and her two scarlet palms pressed forward. The roaring lightning was blocked in front, no matter how the current clamored and raged, it could not break through those massive scarlet hands.
Just then.
A figure darted rapidly through the air, pulling out thin, thread-like traces of electric arcs as he repeatedly changed positions.
After feeling the elves' magic in the Shadow Palace and learning Mana Method in the Heart Kingdom, Luck's strength had undergone two leaps in a short time. At this moment, wearing his "Setsuki" armor refined from Lightning Magic, his speed was staggering.
Taking advantage of his speed and the opportunity Gacha created, he looked for an angle to launch an attack.
"Found it!"
"Lightning Magic: Swift Thunder Blast Orb!"
Two blue spheres shrouded in lightning suddenly appeared in his left and right palms. With a boom, the spheres wrapped in dissipating lightning burst forth!
Vanica sensed the attack from behind but did not panic. The wing membrane of the blood wings condensed from blood behind her shook, suddenly doubling in size. As the lightning orbs approached, the wings wrapped around her, and blood-red veins extended.
Lightning bloomed on the blood wings, and electric arcs danced and dissipated, yet Vanica was completely unharmed by the lightning.
Just as the roar of Gacha's lightning was completely blocked by the scarlet hands, blood surged from Vanica's body, and the blood droplets condensed in the air floated, transforming into sharp blood needles.
Just as she was about to fire these blood needles all at once, she suddenly looked down at her feet.
On the surface of the calm lake water, a massive golden rune appeared. The range of the Magical Language Technique was exceptionally wide. Leopold raised both hands, using the Magical Language Technique to strengthen his Flame Magic.
His voice was stirred, and the gaze in his fiery red eyes was like a lion's. "True Flame Magic: Crimson Lotus Hellfire!"
"Bang!"
A massive wave of fire surged up from the lake's surface like an angry volcanic eruption. The towering waves of fire instantly engulfed Vanica and then surged upward again.
"Huff, huff..."
Leopold panted heavily; using this magic was still a burden for him at his current level. "Did it work? This is the strongest magic I can cast right now. Under this blow, even a member of the so-called Dark Triad should..."
Before he could finish his sentence, he was stunned the moment he looked up.
Amidst the raging waves of fire, that woman was looking down at him coldly. The blood droplets that had floated out formed a barrier in the fire, similar to a sealed space.
"How is this possible?"
"Leopold!"
Gacha's call brought him back to his senses. "There's no time, use that move!"
"Alright!"
Luck, whose sneak attack had failed, used the golden runes beneath his feet to reach Gacha's side. The three of them now stood on the same line, and the suffocating mana within the flames began to erupt.
The repeated attacks from multiple sides finally made Vanica focus!
Black curse symbols combined with blood, releasing countless long black chains like a scarlet spiral vortex. The sky beneath the azure blue turned dark.
This was the magic Vanica had used before to deal with Lolopechka and Nero.
"Curse Symbol Magic: World of Decay."
Everyone within this magic found their mana and spells weakening; the power of the spells cast by the weaker Spirit Guardian actually became only half of what they originally were!
But there were some who were unusually unaffected.
For instance, Gacha's group of three standing on the same line.
The magic formed by lightning, lightning, and fire, under the enhancement of one golden rune after another, formed a powerful torrent of mana that was temporarily not eroded by the Curse Symbol Magic.
The three of them coordinated perfectly, as if this wasn't the first time they had done this.
An accidental attempt during their previous training had now become the key to breaking the deadlock.
With a roar.
"Union Magic: Incandescent Thunder Lion's Roar!"
