Chapter 836: Chapter 836 Riveria Clearing Everything
"From this distance, Lefiya, it's up to you. You should be able to take this one down!"
Riveria said. Lefiya, who was only Level 3, was the weakest here, but like Riveria, she was a mage. Despite her rank, Lefiya's magic power was incredibly strong due to her inherent talent, though she didn't have as many spells.
Among her skills, the one known as 'Fairy Canon' was particularly powerful. It's important to note that Lefiya was only Level 3, while the weakest member of the expedition team that ventured into the deepest layers was Level 4. Moreover, those Level 4 members were there just to carry supplies, while the rest were all combat personnel.
The combat personnel were all undoubtedly Level 5 or Level 6, making Lefiya's presence as an Level 3 adventurer seem a bit out of place.
However, her strength was proven to be exceptional. Mages are inherently fragile and require the protection of others, but Lefiya was capable of instantly killing monsters close to Level 5. And not just defeating them, but instantly killing them.
Such power was extraordinary, and since this dragon was now at Level 5, with others protecting her, Lefiya shouldn't have any trouble seriously injuring it, if not outright killing it.
At this moment, Lefiya was not like her later self in the original story. She still harbored feelings of inferiority and lacked the courage to face monsters alone. Another issue was that she didn't fully trust her companions yet.
This was quite normal, given that she hadn't been with the Loki Familia for long and hadn't fully integrated with them. As a result, when faced with monster attacks, she couldn't remain as composed as Riveria and rely entirely on her comrades for protection.
It was well-known that mages were vulnerable, so the immediate priority for all non-mage companions was to protect the mages and ensure their safety.
Some excellent companions would even sacrifice their lives for this purpose. However, Lefiya hadn't fully placed her trust in these people yet, and she would often abandon her spells mid-cast if a monster attacked.
This was frustrating, but Riveria likely assigned this task to her to give her a chance to prove herself.
"Me? You… you want me to do it?"
Lefiya hesitated, her self-esteem was currently very low, and she had little confidence, so she was apprehensive.
"Go for it, Lefiya! If things get dangerous, we'll stop it. Just focus on killing that big guy!"
Tiona cheered her on from the side.
"Let me get this straight, are you serious? You're letting this little girl take on that dragon?!"
Hawkwood stared in disbelief. Were these people always this reckless? To him, it seemed like this girl might get obliterated in a single strike, he wondered why Riveria letting her make a move!
"Lefiya is a mage, and her magic is incredibly strong. Just watch and see!"
Riveria nodded. Lefiya knew she couldn't refuse, so she started preparing, chanting her incantation. Because the spell was long and complex, most mages couldn't protect themselves while casting.
Ryuu was an exception, as her ability to use magic while moving at high speed was highly unusual.
Soon, Lefiya conjured a multitude of flaming spears in front of her and then launched them forward. The spears shot out like arrows, striking the dragon in the blink of an eye.
Boom boom boom!
The magic spears, which initially didn't seem that powerful, now turned into missiles. The explosions staggered Hawkwood, who looked at Lefiya in disbelief. He never expected that this young girl was such a formidable mage.
However, this barrage clearly didn't kill the dragon outright, but it did inflict serious injuries. Most importantly, the dragon's wings were crippled, rendering it unable to fly.
"Lefiya, keep going!"
Ais called out, drawing her rapier and charging forward, with Tiona also rushing in with her greatsword.
The two of them worked to pin down the dragon. Given their strength, either of them could take the dragon down alone. The reason both of them go is to create an opportunity for Lefiya.
"Lefiya, start chanting! Don't waste this chance; Ais and Tiona are giving you this opportunity!"
Under Riveria's urging, Lefiya snapped back to reality, realizing that she needed to take action now.
She raised her staff once again and began chanting. In truth, she lacked confidence, but with just one successful attempt, the next step would come much more smoothly.
Thus, Lefiya resumed her chanting, and another round of magic commenced.
Seeing Lefiya's magic attack is coming, Ais and Tiona immediately dodged out of the way. The dragon was directly struck by the magic in its eyes, and as its head was attacked through the eyes, it was instantly defeated.
"Two magic circles took down a dragon. With a bit of luck, hitting its eyes on the first try would take it out… It's simply unbelievable!"
Hawkwood couldn't help but nod at this sight, acknowledging the effective teamwork with the others.
"This is… what a huge mass of souls!"
Lefiya harvested the dragon's soul, a huge mass, much larger than the one from the earlier Gundyr. After all, the previous Gundyr was merely a defective version, and the true Gundyr possesses far greater power.
And the true Champion Gundyr would never be affected by Pus of Man.
"Well done, Lefiya! It seems you can take care of yourself now!"
Tiona encouraged her, and Ais also nodded in agreement. Riveria was quite satisfied as well and finally allowed the little girl to revert to her previous role.
"Now, it's time to eliminate the monsters here. There shouldn't be anyone left, right?"
Riveria asked.
"I'm not entirely sure, but you can proceed. As long as you don't damage the buildings, even if there are survivors, they wouldn't be wandering around a place full of hollows. They're likely hiding inside the structures!"
Hawkwood was well aware of this, so Riveria didn't hold back. She unleashed a torrent of flames that spread much wider than the dragon's breath earlier.
Nearly half of the city wall was engulfed.
Hawkwood was even more stunned by this sight. He had thought Lefiya's previous spells were powerful enough, but now, the mage before him was even stronger, clearing out half the field with just one powerful attack
It's so terrifying.
This is the power of a high-level sorcerer. Although preparing a spell takes a long time, the resulting power is absolutely overwhelming.
