The people around them stared in horror at the strange flower in Mu Fengyu's hand, terrified that he might use this unknown World-class item to instantly kill them. Mu Fengyu shrugged and mocked them.

"If you don't have the guts to play the mantis stalking the cicada, you'd better just log off and go to bed."

"Vier, let's go."

With that, he led Vier forward. The people currently destroying the barrier noticed someone approaching and were just about to rush over to drive him away when they saw dense, intricate magic circles manifesting around him. Someone shouted nervously.

"This guy is planning to cast a Super-tier spell! Stop him, quickly!"

Just as they scrambled to their feet, Mu Fengyu's spell was already prepared. He crushed the hourglass-shaped item in his hand, and the magic circles surrounding him accelerated their formation.

The space in front of him gradually shattered. From the pitch-black void, waves of sighing echoed periodically. The entity within seemed to notice the rift, and a pair of pale, giant claws reached out, attempting to widen the opening, yet no matter how hard it tried, it could not enlarge the crack enough to escape.

The giant claws retreated back into the rift, and a head composed of starry skies leaned toward the opening. Looking at the vibrant world outside, it let out a helpless sigh.

A wave of starlight accompanied by the sigh drifted toward everyone in front. Those touched by the starlight felt all their attributes plummet, as if the entity within had stolen their strength.

Super-tier spell [Abyssal Sigh]: a demon god banished to another dimension by the gods, forever yearning to return to the real world.

Whenever a rift opened, it would struggle to escape, but space was reinforced by the gods; only those recognized by the gods could open even a sliver of a crack.

"Damn it, it's a wide-area debuff spell! Forget the barrier, kill this group first!"

Although Mu Fengyu's Super-tier spell had significantly weakened their attributes—reducing the pressure on Takemikazuchi and the others—their HP was already low, and they were still at risk of being finished off by the concentrated fire of this group.

"Vier, I'll leave the rest to you. Show them what you're capable of."

Having just cast a Super-tier spell, Mu Fengyu entered a period of weakness, providing the perfect opportunity for his companions to witness Vier's abilities.

Vier stepped forward gracefully. A staff woven from silver and white appeared in her hand, seemingly imbued with endless mysterious power.

As she moved, a melodious and solemn voice emanated from her, echoing in the air like a heavenly melody.

"Holy feathers shelter all living things, from the evils and miseries of this world."

Her staff traced an elegant arc in the air, and a dazzling radiance erupted from it. Holy feathers drifted through the air, gradually gathering around Takemikazuchi and his team to shield them from incoming damage.

"The gods protect us, fear not this place; Holy Magic, [Heavenly Protection]."

She waved her staff again, and an even more intense light shot into the sky. The enemies caught in the radiance were all frozen in place, while those protected by the light feathers were teleported to Mu Fengyu's side.

The sudden teleportation caught everyone off guard. Takemikazuchi immediately swung his blade, but fortunately, Mu Fengyu reacted in time, catching the blade with his bare hands.

"Big brother, it's me! Don't attack!"

The two stared at each other in awkward silence, as if a few crows had just flown past.

"Heh, didn't react in time. You okay?"

Once they confirmed there was no danger, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Fighting five people at once was exhausting regardless of skill, and Yamaiko sat down on the ground, complaining.

"I'm exhausted. If there's a next time, I'm not doing it. This job isn't meant for humans."

"Stop complaining. Once we take this place, we'll have plenty of resources to squander."

Mu Fengyu smiled and patted Yamaiko on the shoulder, encouraging her.

"That's true, haha."

Yamaiko gave a wry smile and laughed along.

Genjiro looked at Vier curiously and asked.

"By the way, Yu, what exactly is the class of the NPC you created? I've never heard of the magic she used."

Mu Fengyu proudly patted Vier's head and introduced her hidden class to the group.

"Vier's class is [Divine Musician]. You have to max out the pay-to-win class [Chanter] and combine it with other classes to obtain it, just like how Momonga maxed out the Necromancy tree to get [Eclipse]."

"I'll tell you a secret: Vier is the first [Divine Musician] in the entire server. I hand-picked her from the database, jealous yet?"

"And this class also..."

After hearing Mu Fengyu's introduction, everyone's faces were covered in black lines. After all, the [Chanter] class was notorious for requiring real money to obtain.

Moreover, it required the player to actually chant the name of the skill to activate it, and the effect was only a minor boost in power, leading players to mock it as the most useless pay-to-win class.

"Cough, cough. Let's skip the details for now. Just demonstrate it for us."

"Eh? I had so much more to say."

Seeing the impatient looks on everyone's faces, Mu Fengyu realized he had gotten too carried away. If he kept talking, he might actually get beaten up, so he decided to drop it.

"Come on, Vier. Let these people who don't know how to appreciate you see what ultimate output looks like."

Nishikienrai silently took out his daggers and spoke solemnly to the others nearby.

"I want to stab him right now. Do you think there's still a chance?"

"I think it's worth a try."

Genjiro also drew his katana; backstabbing a teammate sounded quite thrilling.

Receiving the command, Vier began to chant her most powerful spell.

"From the mortal realm, toward Asgard. Ancient gods, please open your slumbering holy ark. We, with humble souls, beg for your eyes, beg for your gaze. Flame of wrath, silent earth, please grant me the power to ascend to the heavens."

As Vier chanted, a pair of deep, profound eyes suddenly opened in the sky. A primitive, ornate crystal ark appeared, and a golden flame descended from it.

The frozen players looked up at the anomaly in terror. As the flames fell toward them, the earth shook, and rows of stone pillars erupted from the ground, trapping them inside.

"Divine Magic, [Flame Judgment]."

With Vier's final chant, the flames erupted instantly, and a massive vortex of fire swallowed everyone within the stone pillars.

A deafening explosion rang out, and the entire space seemed to tremble from the force. As the smoke and dust gradually cleared, the players inside the stone pillars were nowhere to be seen, leaving only scorched marks on the ground.

Everyone stared in stunned silence, unable to imagine that this seemingly delicate NPC possessed such overwhelming power.
