Chapter 704: We Are Loki Familia (Part 2)
In the next second, pure white brilliance surged from the magic array, causing the injuries on everyone's bodies to visibly heal.
"This is..."
Chun looked in shock at the arm that just a second ago was scorched black, now rapidly recovering.
"It's, it's the [Battlefield Saintess]'s magic...!"
Raul, Angel, Alicia, and others exclaimed in surprise.
This light, deemed the highest healing magic in the entire Maze City Orario, healed everyone, not only healing their wounds but also restoring their lost stamina.
Healing wounds, restoring stamina, group effect... Reiger displayed the three wondrous effects of this top-tier healing magic in one go, bringing the team from the brink of death visibly back to their prime.
But that was just the beginning.
"[Group Mark]!"
Reiger activated magic once more.
A type of magic not existing in this world — tier magic.
When this magic is used in conjunction with other magic, it transforms the scope of the magic's effect from individuals to groups.
Reiger activated this magic, causing a special magic mark to appear on all members of the team, regardless of whether they were top-tier adventurers like Finn, Ais, or supporters like Rephia and Raul.
Then, Reiger activated the truly cheating magic.
"[—— Grow.]
"[Power and deeds, countless treasures and countless wishes. When the chime rings, pray for glory and fantasy.]
"[—— Grow.]
"[Body that consumes divine offerings, grant the golden light to gods. Hammer returns to earth, bestow blessings.]
"[—— Grow.]
The magic mark on the members of the team lit up.
The pure white magic array under Reiger transformed into pure golden, turning the magic power into mist like a nebula, gathering above the adventurers' heads, finally forming a light hammer of wood.
"[Myriad Treasure Hammer]!"
The most unfair magic in this world was activated, wooden hammers swinging one after another, showering dazzling light particles upon everyone, enveloping them.
Then, everyone felt it.
They felt themselves entering a new realm.
They felt themselves stepping into a new phase.
They felt themselves transcending.
They felt themselves evolving.
Lv.6 Finn, Revilia, Grace, and Ais transformed into Lv.7 at that moment.
Lv.5 Bert, Theona, Theone, and Chun transformed into Lv.6 at that moment.
Lv.4 Raul, Angel, and Alicia transformed into Lv.5.
Lv.3 Rephia transformed into Lv.4, becoming second only to top-tier adventurers.
"What kind of magic is this...!?"
Chun trembled.
Even those in Loki's Familia, who already knew about the existence of "Level Transcendence" magic beforehand, began breathing heavily.
Sensing the overwhelming power flowing within their bodies, they were rendered speechless.
Only Reiger's voice continued to reach everyone's ears.
"Afraid of getting hurt?"
"It's okay, I'll heal you, no matter how many times, I'll make you stand again."
"Worried about lacking power?"
"It's okay, I'll help you enhance, allowing you to keep going forward."
"So, are you still in despair?"
Reiger didn't turn back, just like that, quietly spoke these words.
"No, you won't."
"The enemies before you may be strong, but aren't you strong too?"
"After all, we are Loki's Familia."
These words, if spoken as encouragement, might be too bland.
This tone, if spoken as motivation, might be too ordinary.
Yet somehow, everyone including Chun, who wasn't in Loki's Familia, felt their fighting spirit rekindle.
And it burned even more fiercely and brightly than before.
"Ah, you're right."
Finn's eyes shone anew, a daring smile emerged on his young face.
"We are indeed..."
Revilia gripped the shattered wand, Grace raised the battle axe, and both stepped forward.
"Loki Familia!"
Theona and Theone let out the warrior's roar.
"How can..."
Bert struck his knee, revealing his fangs.
"Fall here!"
Ais re-bound the wind, drew the Sword of Despair, and her eyes revealed unwavering determination.
"Captain..."
"Everyone..."
Rephia, Raul, Angel, Alicia were also inspired and stood up one after another.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...!"
The elf's split, caught in the screams, seemed to feel something, wailing while trying hard to swell up Magic Power. Like the monsters Reveis and Olivias, it was emitting smoke all over its body, wrapped in particles formed by leftover Magic Power, and rapidly recovering from injuries.
Unfortunately, in the unilateral crush on scene, the Loki Familia finally gained an advantage for the first time, recovering from injuries faster than the elf's split and regaining stamina.
"Charge!"
Finn no longer had more words to say, he shouted loudly.
"OOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHH——!"
The adventurers immediately let out a more audacious roar unafraid of death, under the miracle known as "level up," and began the charge.
The elf's split sent out an army of worm-type monsters, intending to stall for time with a tide of monsters to recover its injuries first, but that vast army of monsters met a brutal fate.
Bert, Theona, and Theone, armed with indestructible special weapons, charged into the monster group like three fierce beasts, transforming into meat grinders, slaying crazily, causing dissolution fluids to splatter everywhere.
Revilia and Rephia began chanting Magic, letting the Array open under their feet.
Grace roared and swung the battle axe, single-handedly blocking all the tentacles of the elf's split.
Finn, without a trace, activated his unique berserk Magic. His eyes turned crimson, and his strength soared, carving a blood path with two guns much longer than himself, allowing Ais, carrying the surging wind power, to charge towards the elf's split.
Raul, Angel, and Alicia didn't stand idle either; they all took out Magic swords, wildly shooting, either blasting those worm-type monsters or firing at the elf's split, causing waves of explosions.
In the end, even Chun seemed to be stimulated, wielding a katana, turned into a berserk female warrior, frenziedly slashing worm-type monsters.
With the reinforcement of the [Thousand Treasures Hammer], the strategy team finally regrouped, launching a formal counterattack.
Of course, this process was very tough.
The elf's split, which absorbed the Magic Power accumulated over eleven thousand years, now had its strength elevated to another realm, likely very close to the intensity of the main body.
It squandered Magic Power repeatedly to repair injuries, and it chanted Magic at ultra-high speed again and again, bombarding everyone, knocking the strategy team members into near-death repeatedly.
Yet, Reiger who wasn't participating in the battle continuously supported [Diya Flatel]'s activation from the rear, allowing the near-death individuals to stand up time and time again, continue to roar and charge.
They couldn't afford to worry about defense anymore.
Since injuries can be healed, they just ignored them and focused on the attack.
This was also why Finn abandoned command, directly activating the [Fierce Demon Spear].
"Attack!"
"Attack!"
"Abandon everything! Just attack!"
This was Finn's final instruction.
In such circumstances, history's most brutal strategy battle was unfolding underground, unnoticed.
The adventurers were knocked into near-death time after time, yet stood up time and time again, knocked down repeatedly, yet attacked again and again, only to create even one wound on the elf's split.
In the face of such adventurers, the elf's split finally feared, felt terror.
But she could not escape.
Because the monster she parasitized was an immobile super-large monster, causing her to only keep facing the battle here.
Thus, would the elf's split fall first, or would the adventurers fall first?
The answer, was actually quite evident.
Even the Magic Power of the elf's split can be exhausted.
Reiger, however, possesses the highest level of "Magic Recovery" development ability, even though deploying multiple cheat magics, he would not run out of Magic Power.
Thus, this fearless assault war by the adventurers, after lasting a day and night, successfully concluded.
The victor, undoubtedly, was the Loki Familia.
"We won ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh——!"
When the exhausted elf's split's magic stone in its mouth was pierced through by Ais's sword, the adventurers frantically cheered on the shattered earthly terrain.
They defeated the unprecedented formidable enemy.
They crossed an adventure.
They claimed victory.
