"Ah... ah..."
By then, the battle was nearing its end.
The battlefield before them was already a complete mess. The young swordsman lay on the ground with lifeless eyes, thoroughly dead. On the other side, the female martial artist screamed as she resisted the monsters' final assault. Not far away, Priestess tightly protected the female Magus, whose fate was uncertain, not knowing what to do.
The monsters had completely surrounded them. There was only one path left: death... They let out ugly laughter as they closed in on their prey.
"No, don't come any closer..."
Clutching her staff tightly, Priestess quietly prayed to the god she believed in... yet received no response.

"Boom!!"
The next moment, the blaze slammed heavily into the nearby wall, causing the entire underground passage to shake. Broken stones scattered and rolled down, making it seem as though an earthquake had struck and the place might collapse completely. But no one had time to care about such trivial matters, because the instant the blaze hit the wall, blinding black-violet lightning erupted and filled the entire space, mercilessly engulfing those weak, evil monsters. In the blink of an eye, it reduced them to blackened cinders.

Priestess sat dumbly on the ground, staring at the monsters' charred corpses before her, unable to say anything for a while. She had not even processed what had happened and could only stare blankly at it all. A moment later,
