Chapter 47 Chapter 40 Fire of Salvation
Grisia, having escaped death, looked gratefully with her emerald green eyes at the girl not far away who held her staff and cast the magic, her weak body finally slumping to the ground, her slender chest heaving as she panted, a look of fear on her fair cheeks.
Ig, wielding his sword, killed a stray goblin on the battlefield, green blood splattering on his sword. The young man quickly helped Grisia up.
“Miss Grisia, are you alright!”
“Ah, I’m fine. Thank you, Mr. Ig. It’s just that everyone…”
Grisia looked at the battle line shattered by the demonic beast’s impact under the night sky, her voice tinged with anxiety. Ig gave her a comforting smile.
“Miss Grisia, don’t worry. Since Miss Verafia has taken action, everything will be fine.”
“Miss Verafia…”
Grisia uttered the name of the girl who had just saved her and then turned to look at the broken, scorched vines in front of her. Her emerald eyes showed shock and relief.
Grisia had seen it clearly just now.
When the branches of a Fire Blast Tree struck the fire shield in front of her, the flames summoned by the girl ignited its branches, forcing the Fire Blast Tree to sever its own branches to prevent the flames from harming itself.
She knew very well what this meant: the mere flames on Miss Verafia’s shield were capable of inflicting great damage on the Fire Blast Tree itself!
After all, this Azure Crystal Fire Blast Tree was not only a powerful Gold Rank existence, but as a fire-elemental magical beast, it possessed extremely high resistance to fire magic!
“How powerful would Miss Verafia’s offensive magic be if she used it seriously?”
Grisia stood up with Ig’s help, her heart unable to help thinking, and at that moment, in her eyes, the delicate yet exquisite figure of the girl became extremely awe-inspiring.
Silver moonlight touched the bloody and cruel battlefield, and every second human or demonic beast’s blood dripped onto the ground.
However, compared to the battlefield, Verafia’s expression showed no trace of nervousness. The girl held her staff in one hand, powerful demonic power rippling around her, and the few demonic beasts attacking her were all turned to ashes by a few fireballs casually thrown by her.
Verafia, of course, had no idea that in that brief moment, her image had changed so drastically in the eyes of the half-elf girl.
At this moment, she was humming a pleasant melody, casually waving her flame staff. The girl suddenly raised her little face again, and under the silvery moonlight, a slightly puzzled expression appeared on her flawless, exquisite face.
“Huh? Why aren’t those people making a move yet? Oh well, it’s none of my business anyway… So, it’s time for me to perform!”
Shaking her head, Verafia raised her delicate face and looked at a Golden Ape that was suppressing Hel under siege, her big eyes, filled with interest, reflecting the rapid gathering of blazing light on her staff.
“Miss Verafia!”
Hel felt the girl’s gaze and, under the immense pressure, didn’t even have time to look back, only managing to let out a cry.
“I’m here! Demonic beast, die!”
Verafia responded, looked at the blazing spell that was about to condense on her staff, and her voice became slightly puzzled.
“However, my debut needs a nice name… Hmm, let me think…”
Verafia lowered her little face and thought for a moment, then her scorching golden eyes lit up with a bright glow, and a proud smile appeared on her exquisite face.
“This name is good… Hey, fire spirits burning in the sky, ignite your rage, transform into the deepest red and crimson, Heavenly Calamity Fire!”
After “chanting,” the girl suddenly leveled her staff, and amidst the extremely powerful magic fluctuations, a roaring, scorching, and fiercely glowing blazing fireball erupted!
The moment the magic condensed by countless flames appeared, its light and heat almost occupied the vision of everyone present.
The Mountain Ape, which had been forcing Hel into a desperate situation, didn’t even have time to react. In just an instant, the booming blaze of light had already encroached, pouring its immeasurable and scorching power onto its enormous body!
Exploding red flames scattered everywhere. The Golden Rank Mountain Ape, even before it could make a sound, had half of its body blown away by this extremely powerful fire magic and perished!
The immense heat evaporated from beside him. Hel, not having time to catch his breath, was shocked by the sight of the demon ape in front of him completely perishing in the flames, leaving only half of its remains.
“Such terrifying power!”
In the previous battle, Hel knew very well how powerful these demonic beasts were.
If this demonic ape were to be judged by its physique alone, it would be considered a top-tier powerhouse among human Gold Rank warriors, yet even so, it couldn’t withstand a second of that flame magic!
Hel thought that even if he were in its place, he wouldn’t have done any better under such intensity of flame.
As the shock in Hel’s eyes gradually faded, all that remained was relief.
He was inwardly grateful for how correct his choice had been to have this mage accompany him earlier.
…
Verafia, of course, didn’t know Hel’s thoughts, and even if she did, she probably wouldn’t care.
The girl’s staff, which had just unleashed “Heavenly Calamity Fire,” paused for only a moment before its light flared up again, and the flame elements condensing around her once again emitted extremely powerful energy fluctuations.
“Meteor Shower, descend!”
“Storm of Blazing Flames, answer my summons, and howl here!”
Born on the girl’s staff and illuminated by the brightly colored light reflecting on her exquisite and flawless face, Verafia, after releasing powerful magic, unexpectedly cast two completely different area-of-effect spells simultaneously again in an instant!
All the mages present were shocked to discover that the moment Verafia cast her spells, the elemental particles that had been fixed and converged onto the spell constructs by their spirit had almost completely lost control.
It was as if the entire ocean of elements under the sky was almost disturbed by her demonic power, condensing into an extremely powerful blazing storm amidst the chaotic surges!
Columns of firelight soared into the sky, and as the sweeping infernal tornado ravaged the earth, fiery rain fell from the sky, causing great casualties to the demonic beasts and treants trapped on the battlefield.
In just an instant, more than ten scorched corpses collapsed on the ground, devoured by the flames and turned into ashes!
