Chapter 463: Twin Flame Descent
Seoha, standing on a floating stone above, gave a wide grin and raised her thumb in the air in response. "Got it!" she shouted back, her eyes scanning quickly to the right.
She spotted the two guild members Min Yoonji mentioned—but now they were screaming, falling fast from the sky, their figures small against the backdrop of fire and smoke.
Then she saw the dark shape of a dragon diving straight toward them, ready to devour them mid-air.
Without a second thought, Seoha raised her arm and threw her sword with deadly accuracy. The blade sliced through the air and hit the dragon in the wing, making it roar in pain and veer off course.
"I don't think so!" Seoha yelled as she jumped off her platform, diving down at full speed. Wind rushed around her, her cloak flapping wildly as she shot down like a meteor, her hands reaching out.
With a loud thud, Seoha landed on the ground in a roll, her arms wrapped tightly around the two she saved, her body breaking their fall as dust flew everywhere.
The two gasped, stunned but alive, and Seoha stood, groaning a little but already grinning again.
"Next time, don't fly around like you're sightseeing! We're regrouping at the wall! Move!" she shouted, brushing herself off and pointing toward the distant city wall where the others were gathering.
The two nodded quickly and ran, while Seoha looked up again. The sky was still full of fire, dragons, and floating stone paths—but at least now, they were starting to move together, slowly pulling their forces back into one solid front.
Gideon flew with his wings wide, soaring through the chaos with smoke swirling around him and arrows slicing past. His arms were full, carrying unconscious guild members, their bodies limp from mana exhaustion or wounds, and another person clung weakly to his long tail, barely holding on.
"Clear a path! Build a wall! Get ready down there!" Gideon's voice echoed with strength and urgency as he swooped low above the outer wall, his shadow stretching over the tired defenders below.
Lauren looked up, her face pale but focused, her eyes glowing faintly as she prepared herself.
"I'll do it. I'll use my ultimate barrier spell!" she called out, mana already building around her hands, the wind rising around her like a protective storm.
"No! You can't! Not yet!" Lee Minjoon landed hard beside her, his boots skidding across the stone surface of the wall, his arms open to help catch one of the people Gideon dropped. "If you use your ultimate now, you'll be drained too fast."
Lauren clenched her fists, then lowered her hands, biting her lip. "But we need to end this fast, Minjoon. They keep coming. We're losing more and more."
A calm, steady voice interrupted them. Tanaka Hiroshi, guildmaster of Japan top 1 guild, stepped forward, brushing dust from his shoulder as he adjusted his gloves.
"This won't end fast until the source is destroyed," he said firmly, his dark eyes focused on the sky where dragons circled like shadows. "As long as that summoning crystal remains untouched, these dragons will keep spawning, again and again."
Everyone turned to look at him.
"If you use your ultimate skills now, you might not have the mana to destroy it later. There's no guarantee you'll regenerate fast enough, even with support." Tanaka pointed to the skies.
Daewon flew backward through the sky, his body spinning after being hit by the shockwave of a dragon's roar, and he crashed onto the outer wall of the kingdom with a loud thud, his boots scraping against the stone as he slid down painfully, but he gritted his teeth, pushed himself up, and growled through his breath as he looked up at the sky full of dragons.
Without wasting a second, he started running again, leaping across the floating stones with fire in his eyes and shouting at the top of his lungs, "All fire mages, get ready now! I said prepare yourselves! This is our chance!"
The moment the fire mages heard Daewon's shout, they stopped what they were doing and turned to look at him, some of them already grabbing potions from their bags.
while others raised their hands as red sparks began to form in their palms, and their bodies started to glow, the heat surrounding them like a flickering blaze ready to explode.
Seoha appeared beside him in a flash, landing with her blades glowing red from the intense heat she was building inside.
"Lauren! We need to go higher! Get us up there!" Daewon shouted as he and Seoha ran past the defenders, jumping onto a stone platform where Lauren stood nearby, already breathing heavily from earlier spells, but when she saw Daewon's determined face, she nodded quickly and lifted her arms.
"Wind platform—Air surge!" Lauren called out with both arms raised, her voice cutting through the chaos, and in that exact moment, a wild burst of air exploded beneath Daewon and Seoha's feet like a cannon blast, launching them sideways, right above the allies at incredible speed, their bodies glowing with energy, their weapons ready.

They soared higher and higher, past the outer walls, past the topmost floating stones, climbing into the heart of the sky where dragons were gathered, flapping their wings in slow unison, screeching as they suddenly noticed the two figures racing upward toward them like fiery missiles.
Down below, people had stopped fighting to look up. Mages, knights, even the emperor's guards paused and pointed to the sky, whispering in awe.
"Are they… doing it?"
"Wait, those two aren't they cousins?! The hammer wielder and the Fire madqueen from Korea—"
"They're doing the Twin Flame Descent! It's their combination skill!"
At the top of their ascent, Daewon floated for a heartbeat, spinning his double-headed hammer behind him like a wheel of fire, then raised it over his head, his body now wrapped in fire magic that was not his own—because Daewon had no fire affinity, but Seoha, flying right beside him, did.
Seoha held her sword close, red fire glowing in spirals along the blades, her mana threads already connected to Daewon, her breathing steady despite the altitude. "Don't miss it, Daewon. I lit the fuse—now drop the bomb."
