Extra: Coming to the Rescue

"Are we late? Ha, it seems we're not too late. It was Galan who was the first to get back, after all, he was the closest to the two of them. When we made this arrangement from the beginning, he had already decided that he would be the first to come back and support them."

At this moment, he was rapidly approaching their location from the end of the spacious corridor.

"It's Galan!"

Lia, who could have fainted on the spot at any moment, now seemed to have been injected with a stimulant and looked like she was about to jump up and cheer.

While Lucina, standing beside her, didn't react in such an exaggerated way, she was still relieved by Galan's arrival.

I've already witnessed some of his strength; if he were here, we shouldn't have any more problems.

Seemingly sensing a new target rapidly approaching, the Copy that had been dealing with Lucina and Lia quickly turned their heads, adjusting the direction of their Staff and controlling the imposing [Fire Phoenix] to fly towards Galan.

The attack not only left charred marks on the surrounding rocks, but also burned away some moss hiding in the crevices of the thick rocks. Galan was still some distance away, noticed the powerful attack and the scene it had created. He immediately knew that he absolutely could not confront the attack head-on. Even if the attack could not kill him, Galan would not do something as foolish as taking a serious injury to show off his physical strength.

He quickly dodged to the side, trying to avoid the opponent's attack trajectory, but how could the two Copy let him escape so easily? They immediately controlled the [Fire Phoenix] to bite him tightly from behind.

However, just as the Copy were about to increase their firepower and finish off the man in one go, a beam of light flew rapidly from the corner toward their heads. It was clear that Lucina, who had just taken Lia to hide in the corner, wanted to take this opportunity to eliminate the opponent.

However, the lightning beam was blocked by an unknown force just as it approached the Copy.

It was as if an invisible barrier stood around the two Copy, constantly protecting them.

"Pfft! I knew a sneak attack might not work, but I didn't expect it to be this ineffective... They dared to stand there so openly casting spells; they must have taken precautions to protect themselves..."

Male Lucina carefully observed the two who were intently dealing with Galan. They hadn't even made a single move to cast any other magic, yet they had managed to block her attack. Clearly, it wasn't a spell they had used, but rather the effect of some Magic Device they possessed. "Water Mirror Demon can even copy the Magic Device on its body? This ability is too overpowered!"

Even Lucina was astonished by the magic's cheat-like ability. If it could even copy Magic Device, coupled with the opponent's almost "infinite copying" ability, wouldn't it be possible to replicate certain precious Magic Device without limit?

She shook her head, quickly dismissing the idea.

If the Copy is defeated, the Magic Device copied from its body will also disappear, right?

Moreover, without dealing with the opponent, it would be highly unlikely to remove the Magic Device from them. Even if it were possible, whether an ordinary person could use it would still be a question.

Galan kept dodging left and right, avoiding the opponent's attacks.

Right now, the [Fire Phoenix] was almost within reach. The surging heat made him feel as if he had jumped into a giant furnace; the terrifying temperature was even making it hard for him to breathe.

"Wow, is the damage from a combination attack from just two people really that terrifying?"

He was also somewhat astonished by the terrifying power of the magic unleashed by the two Copy. The last time he had seen such terrifying magic was when he encountered Frieren a few times before, and later when Duncan unleashed the [Gale Inferno] magic.

"Can two people working together actually reach their level?"

Galan had come to acknowledge the true strength of the two individuals, but at the same time, he felt a bit of a headache.

Generally speaking, it should be easy for a warrior to deal with Mage, provided that the mage allows the warrior to get close enough.

At a certain distance, even a skilled Mage wouldn't have time to cast a spell before being easily taken down by a warrior of average skill.

This is why a team must have a vanguard to Protection Magic mage.

When accepting a commission and going to the wilderness to carry out a mission, it often involves encounters. If there is a warrior in the team as the vanguard, the Mage's survival rate will be greatly improved.

"They're very vigilant... they don't give me a single chance to get close..."

Galan has been entangled with the [Fire Phoenixes ] they released until now. Although he has not been injured, he has not found an opportunity to get close.

The opponent was clearly an experienced Mage, who, while blocking their escape route, also used flames to block all paths that could approach them.

If I want to get closer, I have to rush into that fire.

However, the power of the opponent's magic is undeniable; if an ordinary person were to come into contact with even a little bit of the flames, they would likely be burned to death on the spot.

"Is the only option to just rush through?"

After another round of back-and-forth struggle, Galan still couldn't find another solution.

Even if this path of fire will harm me right now, there's no other way.

I don't want to waste too much time on these two; I must quickly deal with them and leave!

After making his decision, he stopped fleeing, then stepped on the corridor wall beside him and with a sudden burst of power, his body flew out like a cannonball.

Meanwhile, the [Fire Phoenix] that had been chasing him was easily left behind by Galan because it hadn't expected him to suddenly increase his speed.

Galan drew his Alchemy Longsword and held it in front of his face, waving it around like a propeller to disperse some of the flames that were about to pass through him.

Even though he inevitably got a little bit on himself, it wasn't a fatal injury and was still within his tolerance level.

The key is that once you pass through this wall of fire, your opponent will be within your killing range!
