"KIAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAH!"
"?!"
But then they noticed the spirit letting out an ever creepier laugh than ever.
They all stop instantly.
The burn wound that the spirit received from Lefiya's magic closed instantly as she healed herself with magic.
And the spirit opened her mouth.
"Queen! Queen! Queen!" the spirit said in an excited tone.
Everyone stopped at that word.
"Queen?"
Tione is the one who reacted first.
"Queen, I miss you!" with a big smile and cheerful tone, she said that, as if she's a kid that just saw her parents return home.
"Who is queen?"
"Queen, why are you not saying anything?"
"Queen, let's play! It's been a long time!"
"... Queen, why did you leave me that day?"
Suddenly, the spirit said in a low tone.
Like a kid disappointed.
"Queen... Why?"
"Why?"
As if she's disappointed.
"Queen why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why?"
"C-Creepy!"
"W-What's wrong with that monster?!"
"Everyone, be careful!"
"Freeze over as though the eternal permafrost, untold blades. Your envoy beseeches you, Undine. Incarnate of water. Queen of aqua,"
"Fast?!"
Lefiya shrieked at how fast the demi spirit was chanting. It was even faster than the previous chant that she had intercepted.
"Icicle edge!"
A huge pillar of ice appeared in front of the spirit and travelled instantly to where Lefiya was.
"... Eh?"
Before Lefiya could react, Aiz grabbed her.
"A-Aiz-san... thank you."
"You bastard!"
Tione and Tiona Charged through the spirit
Yet another magic circle appeared above the spirit again
"Pierce, spear of lightning. Your envoy beseeches you, Tonitrus. Incarnate of thunder. Queen of lightning."
"A-Already?!"
"Thunder Ray!"
Thunders rained from the sky as it traveled directly towards Tione and Tiona.
Tiona jumped and tried to fend off the thunder with her weapon. But the magic exploded when it made direct contact with Tiona's weapon.
"Gyaa!"
"Kyah!"
Both of them got blown away by the impact.
"Bastard! I finally reached you!"
Bete suddenly appeared near the spirit as his feet were covered in winds.
He swung his feet towards the spirit
But the spirit raised her hand with a smile.
"Ngh?!"
Bete's attack could not reach the spirit as he got stopped midway by something invisible.
"B-Barrier?"
Raul shouted.
"She didn't use any magic right, Oi oi that's broken" Tsubaki squinted her eyes as she imagined what would happen next.
The spirit retaliate by swinging her hand
"Gah?!"
Bete took a direct hit and was blown away to the ground with a terrifying speed.
"Bete!"
Just like that, he lost consciousness.
In an instant, 3 of Loki's familia front liners were blown away by the spirit.
"E-Everyone!"
Raul's eyes widened as he saw what's happening in a short amount of time.
The spirit just released 3 consecutive magic that is all short-chant magic,
(This is crazy...)
He could only stare at the spirit with a terrified expression.
"This is bad... I don't know what happened, but that monster became angry suddenly."
"Finn, what should we do? Do you think retreat is the best option? That monster is clearly off the chart."
"While I want to say retreat is not an option. We might do that if we got the chance. But given the monster can cast super short chants, it might be hard. We will get wiped out instead while trying to run. And my thumb won't stop tingling."
Finn licked his thumb to calm it down, but it was no use.
He himself was also interested in the Queen.
Who is queen?
Is it Aiz? She is the descendant of a spirit, so that might be the answer or it might be someone else?
"Riveria, can you open us a path? Tsubaki protect Riveria, Raul, look at Bete's condition. The rest of you, come with me, Lefiya, you too."
"" Yes!""
Then here we go!
"Tsubaki, Raul protect me."
"Alright!"
"Everyone, let's go!'
The march started as Finn led everyone else towards the Spirit.
In the back, Riveria began chanting.
"Aiz, gather up all of your strength! You will finish this with a single blow, the rest of you just make any opening for her to strike! I'll attack with everything I got!"
"Demonic spear, pierce my brow and take this blood offering! Hell finegas!"
Finn turned into a frenzied warrior as his eyes were dyed in crimson.
This is Finn's magic that allows him to gain more strength in exchange for his reasoning.
He jumped to one virga that was blocking them, although the number diminished from before, they are still a threat that they need to address.
Loki's familia front liners quickly advanced forward.
"
-No...-
Lefiya suddenly heard a voice inside her head.
She momentarily stopped at that moment.
"W-What's that?"
"Lefiya? What happened?"
Aiz noticed Lefiya stopped running and momentarily stopped.
The spirit then raised her hand and
"Flash, rays of light. Tear through the darkness.
White light gathered around her hand, turning into a magic circle.
Everyone stopped when they saw the spirit chanting again, however this time.
It cannot be compared to how fast it chants before.
Your envoy beseeches you, Lux. Incarnate of light. Queen of light"
"?!?!"
She finished the whole chant for the magic in just a few seconds.
Gareth jumped just in the nick of time to the front line and readied his shield.
(Not good! I can't cast Filvis's magic in time!)
"I won't let you!"
"Light Burst!"
A white beam instantly travelled from the magic circle towards them.
"GUOOHHHHHHH!"
As soon as the burst made direct contact with Gareth, his eyes widened at how strong the impact.
He feels like he's fighting a tug of war with 1000 people in front of his shield.
"Lefiya! Get down!"
Aiz quickly grabbed Lefiya and jumped to the side.
And in the next moment, the shield cracked before it crumbled and blew Gareth together with everyone behind him.
"Sweep completely, bring a close to the grea-"
Riveria's eyes widened when she saw the whole thing, and her mouth stopped.
Only Aiz and Lefiya, who she pulled to the other side, remained in that place.
