Twelve Star Beasts
"[Aurora Burst]."
A flash of white light appeared, illuminating the entire gray wilderness.
From the white magic circle above the Corrupted Fairy, a cannonball formed from pure flashes of light blasted out, tearing through the atmosphere and shooting straight toward Leo.
Clearly, the Corrupted Fairy's primary target was still Leo, who had just gotten in her way.
The malice of this Corrupted Fairy was so obvious that it filled her beautiful face with a ferocious look, ruining her goddess-like beauty.
They would not rest until they completely eliminated the eyesore; this is the kind of viciousness that the Corrupted Fairy displayed, unlike any other monster.
If it weren't for the Giant Battle Suit protecting him and mitigating much of the damage and impact, Leo definitely wouldn't have been able to react in time and avoid that attack.
"[Comet Dash.]"
Leo, whose vision was obscured by the intense flash of light, almost reflexively activated his flight magic, transforming into a high-speed comet and soaring into the sky, avoiding the aurora's beam. The flash struck the rocks behind him, causing them to explode with a deafening roar.
"Laaaaaaaa!"
Seeing its seemingly sure-fire attack thwarted, the Corrupted Fairy roared in anger, whipping its tentacles around, transforming them into giant pythons that swarmed towards the soaring comet.
At the speed of these tentacles, it's naturally impossible for them to catch up with Leo, who can accelerate without limit.
However, this is also the drawback of this flying magic. Once the speed is increased too much, even the caster Leo, will not be able to keep up, making it impossible to make agile movements or attack while accelerating. He can only crash around aimlessly.
In this way, as long as the density of attacks is high enough to restrict Leo's space for movement, even random attacks will eventually hit him. That's what the Corrupted Fairy did.
"Boom!"
She screamed, and the entire floor shook.
Immediately afterwards, on the 59th Floor, the walls, floors, and dome covered in Green Flesh began to move, forming green flesh walls that started to compress the space of the entire battlefield.
The fleshy wall rose from the ground, pressed down from all sides, and fell from the sky, forming a sealed chamber that kept closing and shrinking, making the area where Leo, who had transformed into a comet, could fly smaller and smaller.
Countless tentacles danced wildly in this space, densely packed and resembling venomous snakes. The comet, which could only charge blindly, eventually collided with one of the giant tentacles and was violently whipped away.
"[Meteor Dance]!"
With the Protective Starlight and Giant Battle Suit, Leo wouldn't be injured by this attack, but the unavoidable situation still left him breathless. He could only activate a magic circle and shoot out countless meteors, blasting at the tentacles and green walls around him.
"Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom!!!!"
A deafening explosion erupted throughout the Green Wall space, unleashing a Meteor Shower across the entire battlefield, creating a scene of relentless artillery fire. With Leo's current magical firepower, the petal Corrupted Fairy had specially designed to protect itself might be able to withstand it, but the surrounding Green Wall and those tentacles were not.
Therefore, the meteor's frenzied bombardment not only severed the enormous tentacles but also shattered the heavy green walls, freeing the compressed space and returning it to the vast wilderness.
"[Fire, come on!]"
A sweet voice rang out, instantly freezing the atmosphere of the newly opened battlefield.
Leo's expression changed drastically. He abruptly turned his head to look in the direction of the Corrupted Fairy, where he saw the Corrupted Fairy with outstretched arms, giving him a malicious smile.
"[Roar! Roar! Flame Vortex! Crimson lotus cliff! Roar of karmic fire! With the power of a sudden strong wind, seal off the world! Burning sky! Burning earth! Burning ocean! Burning springs! Burning mountains! Burning life! Turn everything to scorched earth! Fire the horns of anger and sighs! Pay the price with the life of my beloved hero!]"
An ultra-long chanting magic spell in a super-fast chanting state!
The Corrupted Fairy once again awakened a calamity capable of destroying heaven and earth, causing the enormous fiery red magic circle to spin and expand wildly, growing larger and larger. The terrifying Demonic Power light shot into the sky like a pillar of light, reaching straight up to the dome.
The terrifying Demonic Power spread outwards like a tsunami.
The crisis roared like a thunderbolt, and death stormed down upon Leo, making him grit his teeth.
To be honest, he knew the Corrupted Fairy was powerful, but he never expected it to be this powerful.
In the original story, this Corrupted Fairy almost wiped out the entire Loki Familia's main force single-handedly, causing Finn, Ais, and others to struggle on the brink of death countless times.
Leo thought that with him on board, things wouldn't get too bad, no matter how bad they were.
Who would have thought that he was still taking things too for granted?
Under the unreasonable magic of immortals, having one more Lv.6 combatant or one less Lv.6 combatant might not make a crucial difference.
This Corrupted Fairy has matured, its power far surpassing that of Udaeus. Even the floor master of the 49th Floor, who is classified as Lv.7 Balor, might not be able to compare to it, not to mention that the other party can use fairy magic.
Ais merely inherited the wind magic of the Great Fairy, yet she possessed an ability almost capable of challenging opponents of a higher level. As fellow fairies, how much weaker could the magic of this Corrupted Fairy be than Ais's wind magic?
That magic, capable of instantly wiping out the entire Loki Familia's main force, is simply not something that can be dealt with by adding an extra Lv.6 combatant. There is only one way to turn the tide of the battle.
Go all out... fight with your life on the line!
"... Then let's give it our all."
After whispering this, Leo suddenly pulled out several high-grade magic potions from his pouch and drank them all in one gulp.
The mental energy recovery effect, several times greater than that of ordinary magical potions, combined with the development ability of "Mind Healing," rapidly restored Leo's greatly reduced mental energy.
But just as his mental energy was recovering, Leo began to relentlessly exploit it.
"Buzz"
The two magic gems on the Starlight in his hand burst forth with light, and the sacred golden patterns also emitted an unprecedented brilliance.
Without hesitation, Leo unleashed all of his mental power, transforming it into Demonic Power, which was then amplified by Starlight before being released.
In an instant, a massive Demonic Power, no less Corrupted Fairy, was generated.
"[Come from the Golden Palace!]"
Leo sang loudly.
But this time, he didn't stop there.
"[The invincible beast of glory, the star spirit ravaging the battlefield, soars through the earth's core, roaring with unquenchable fury.]"
This is the full release of Leo's Third Magic, a complete incantation that leaves no step out.
"[Thunder, Flood, Storm, Ice and Snow, Flaming Meteor]"
"[You are the embodiment of calamity, the warhammer of divine retribution, rushing from the ends of the world, descending upon boundless calamity.]"
"[Judgment! Judgment! Cleanse the world of all filth, chaos, darkness, evil, and madness!]"
"[Let the original order return to this place]"
This is the incantation for Leo's Third Magic.
[Meteor Dance] and [Comet Pursuit] are both very short incantations, while Leo's Third Magic is a very long incantation, yet it has multiple incantation effects, allowing the number of spells summoned to be changed through various incantation methods.
If you're only summoning one Star Beast, then you only need to chant the first line of the incantation, which falls into the category of a very short incantation. If you want to summon more Star Beast, then you need to increase the amount of chanting.
The more you chant, the more Star Beast you can summon, but the mental energy consumed will also increase exponentially.
Now, with Leo chanting without reservation, the full power of this summoning magic has been unleashed.
The magic circle, radiating intense Starlight, expanded rapidly outwards, layer upon layer, becoming extremely complex.
"[Prayer of the Twelve Zodiac Palaces]!"
Leo raised the Starlight in his hand, and under the illumination of the magic gem and sacred runes, he completed the release of the magic.
Twelve golden palaces suddenly rose one after another from the enormous magic circle.
The first constellation opens, and the giant Aries emerges from it, bringing vibrant life—[Aries Star].
The second constellation opens, revealing a colossal Taurus, its body surrounded by floating rocks [Taurus Star]. The third constellation features two giants engulfed in flames [Gemini Star].
The fourth constellation features the illusory Cancer I [Cancer Star].
The fifth constellation features a lion, its body as hard as steel [Leo Star].
The sixth constellation features a beautiful goddess holding a stalk of rice—[Virgo Star].
The seventh constellation features the golden Libra [Libra Star].
The eighth constellation features a giant scorpion shrouded in poisonous mist—[Scorpio Star].
The ninth constellation features a Sagittarius Star (Sagittarius) with a bow and arrow drawn.
The tenth constellation features a long-nosed, sharp-toothed fish-bodied beast that sways like a shadow—[Capricorn Star]. The eleventh constellation features a mermaid holding a treasure bottle—[Aquarius Star].
The twelfth constellation features two whales stirring up icy currents—[Pisces Star].
Twelve Star Beast, each with a different attribute, appeared and descended together at this moment.
"Boom!!!"
The turbulent flow of Demonic Power formed a storm that exploded on the twelve Star Beast, causing them to roar in unison, their voices shaking the heavens and the earth. "[In the name of the Agent, I am given the name of the Fire Spirit (Samander), the incarnation of fire, the Queen (King) of fire]." The Corrupted Fairy's expression changed, and it was a sudden change unlike anything she had ever seen before.
Her incantation was already fast, and she should have released the magic before Leo, but she seemed to be stunned by this earth-shattering Third Magic, causing her incantation to pause several times, making the magic that should have been released before Leo actually a step slower.
However, when Twelve Star Beasts appeared, the Corrupted Fairy's magic was still successfully unleashed.
"[Flame Storm]!"
The Purgatory flames that swept across the battlefield have descended once more.
