The oppressive atmosphere, like a mountain, enveloped the Hero, making it hard for her to move, suffocatingly heavy.
"You will become stronger." Her father's voice carried through the wind, calm and clear.
"Therefore, I will look forward to next time, my daughter."
With a gentle swing of Wind Tears, the Heavenly Spear that connected heaven and earth descended toward the Hero.
[Verdant Demon activates skill: Divine Speed, Void Destruction, Disaster Hurricane]
[Verdant Demon activates Legendary Magic: Heavenly Spear - Falling Cloud]

D235+70+160+3d333+1001+100=d235(5)+(105)+(71)+(278)+1331=1790
Before the Heavenly Spear fell, the remains of the Viscount Mansion had already collapsed in response.
The entire courtyard's ground cracked under the terrifying Magic Power, and abyss-like fissures spread out, forcing even the three spectators to keep retreating.
"Hmm?" Suddenly, her father's brow furrowed.
With his mastery over the Wind Element, he could not only extract the air around his enemies but even withdraw the Magic Element along with it.
For weaker targets, without any Magic, a simple finger flick could kill them on the spot. Even against powerful enemies, this ability could inflict heavy blows.
Yet today, this skill, which previously never failed, had inexplicably faltered multiple times.
Normally, under his command, the Wind Element never dared to disobey, but it hesitated and softened when passing by his daughter, as if ready to rebel in the next instant.
And now, those elements were still reluctantly lingering around the Hero, and despite the pressure as heavy as the Heavenly Spear, they raised their heads with determination and resilience.
One pursed her lips tightly, another revealed a fierce smile.
"——Very well, let me see how far you can go."
In the next moment, the girls let out their final cries, their Magic Power transforming into a dazzling torrent, rushing straight into the skies with the sound of horns.

Note: Due to the suppression effect of Legendary Magic, the damage reduction effect of Oath of Steadfastness is ineffective. After this round, the battle ends, the Hero will enter an Exhausted State, and the final result of the battle will be determined based on the difference in output.

[Hero receives 477-381-66=30 points of True Damage, HP46/76]
The heaven-shaking roar gradually subsides.
What was once the location of the Viscount Mansion has been leveled, and endless mist covers the ground, making it impossible to see through the thick fog, with occasional flashes of lightning interspersed deep within the clouds.
Then, with a gentle sweep of the Crystal Spear, the heavy clouds slowly dissipate, revealing a calm figure.
The father stands there unharmed, the spear in his hand lowered, his emerald green eyes reflecting a deep light as he gazes in another direction.
The mist there hasn't completely cleared, but a vague silhouette can be seen.
The Gleaming Scale Serpent quickly rushes over, having no time to direct hostility at the father of their queen by blood, only eager to break into the battlefield's remains.
"Let her mother come, you are not suitable."
The father turns, glancing at the Familiar who resembles him closely, dissuading gently.
The Gleaming Scale Serpent pauses in action, silently retreating to the original spot, while the mother swiftly passes by his side, directly entering the mist that hasn't completely dispersed.
Under the shelter of the clouds, a small figure stands.
Her flawless white skin is covered with red marks, abrasions almost covering her entire body, her legs tremble slightly like a newborn fawn.
Yet, even so, she still grips the Finger Claw in her hand tightly, maintaining a ready-to-punch posture, despite the flames upon it having long extinguished.
Upon noticing approaching footsteps, the Hero's eyelids, heavy to the point of unable to open, slightly move, then she raises her arm, ready to punch.
The soft and weak fist is easily caught, the girl's body falters slightly, almost falling, but is steadily caught by a soft embrace.
"...It's over now, rest well."
A calm and gentle voice murmurs by her ear, reminiscent of a lullaby from long ago.
The tension within the Hero finally dissipates, unable to maintain consciousness any longer, her awareness plunging into deep darkness.
[The battle is over. Because the Hero remained conscious at the end, the reward is enhanced]
[The first thing the Hero sees upon waking is——]
