Chapter 609: The Strongest Magic (Please Subscribe!)

For adventurers, staying up all night relying on sheer physical prowess is absolutely no issue.

On this night where their leader, deputy leader, and main deity had temporarily left to obtain “Great Achievements,”

the members of Loki Familia would have been possessed by ghosts if they could sleep soundly.

Especially after learning the explosive insider information about the existence of another world.

It’s worth noting that those who could be brought out to participate in battle by Loki herself were naturally the elite members of the Familia—companions who could be trusted.

They certainly wouldn’t leak something like this.

But just thinking about how, when they lacked “Great Achievements” in the future, they might also have the chance to see the scenery of another world made everyone quite excited!

Even Raul, the big brother figure, was like this.

“You guys didn’t go to sleep…?”

“Of course not! Who can sleep?”

“Yeah, exactly!”

Tione twitched her eyes, looking at her foolish younger sister and the small fairy agreeing with her, feeling speechless.

The outside had been so quiet earlier, she thought everyone had gone back obediently.

But now it seems, these people had just restrained themselves, waiting for her to get caught.

“So, Tione, did the leaders leave?”

“Hmm.”

“Did Izay and Loki go too?”

“Hmm!”

“How do they cross worlds?”

“They just disappeared with a flash. Don’t ask me okay! Hurry back to your tents, if you won’t sleep, at least don’t gather here! The leader told us everything should stay normal!”

One question after another made Tione complain to Tiona.

“Boring…”

The werewolf lying slanted on a small mound wasn’t interested in this scene of older sister scolding younger sister and left first.

Bert stayed here just to wait for a result, though he couldn’t deny that he also had aspirations for the other world.

Though he envied Finn and the others somewhat, but the wolf doesn’t say…

Ais slowly approached from a farther position.

With a calm expression, the blonde girl pulled her fox-eared close friend quietly towards the head camp tent, peeking inside.

—Empty.

Upon realizing this fact, Ais’s eyes flashed with understanding.

“Go back to your tent, Haruhi. We’ll check again tomorrow.”

“Hmm, okay.” Haruhi nodded obediently.

“Refia, you guys should sleep early too.”

Before leaving, Ais kindly reminded everyone.

Regardless of what others thought,

Ais herself felt that sleeping right now was the best choice.

Between enduring a hard night of waiting and waking up refreshed to check the situation,

the young girl happily chose the latter.

“Eh—? Eh!!! Miss Ais, wait for me—!”

Inspired by the person she admired, Refia couldn’t care less about her curiosity at the moment and hurriedly followed.

Seeing this, Tione hit Tiona’s forehead.

“See that? Go back to your tent! You stupid little sister!”

“Ouch… I understand, sis, please don’t really hit me.”

The little angel was dragged away amidst injustice.

Anqi took one last look at the energetic boys before quickly averting her gaze.

“Alisia, Nav, let’s go too. Let these guys get excited by themselves.”

“Hmm.”

“I don’t mind.”

In the end, even Raul returned to his tent sheepishly.

………Hmm….Ah～………

Time passed quickly through the night.

The dawn symbolizing the start of a new day gradually rose over the eastern horizon.

At Loki Familia’s camp, near Finn’s head tent.

“Whoosh—!”

The goddess kicked open the curtain, carrying Finn out of the tent while incessantly complaining.

“What misfortune I have~! Why am I carrying you, Finn, instead of Mama-san!? What fairness is this—!?”

“Ahhaha… I’m not a beautiful girl, sorry about that, Loki.”

The red-haired goddess’ back clearly showed signs of weakness as the Halfling Tribe Leader chuckled dryly.

“The teacher said not to let you touch her. What can I do?”

Izay came out a step later, carrying Riviria on his back. For Loki’s complaints, he could only helplessly express sympathy, emphasizing that he was following orders. Riviria had already fallen asleep on his back, her warm breath making Izay’s neck itch.

“Pfft… I declare… Riviria’s heartless actions deeply hurt me! She must give me a hug afterwards to forgive her!”

“That’s something you’ll have to discuss with Riviria yourself, Loki. See if she agrees~ Old man here guesses she won’t… After all, why should Riviria give you a chance when you keep harassing her, even in her unconscious state.”

The voice of the dwarf warrior followed shortly after, but compared to usual, it also seemed lacking in energy.

The battle between the three giants and the “Swallowing Fourth Beast” was completely grueling.

Calculating the time of departure and now, subtracting the travel time,

they battled for at least four hours.

Initially, the Fourth Beast had the strength of an upper-level Lv.8. In the beginning, neither Finn nor Gress could do much more than scratch its thick shell.

The one who changed the disadvantageous situation was Riviria, who now lay unconscious on Izay’s back.

Her third-stage chant-linked wide-area annihilation magic “Wiss Windheim”, which spanned two levels of difference, shattered the Fourth Beast’s defense in one strike, paving the way for victory by breaking down the beast’s troublesome protective shell for Finn and Gress.

Indeed, the people of this world regarded magic as a powerful force that could sway the outcome of battles, and it fit perfectly.

This was also the first time Izay had seen Riviria use a third-stage offensive magic.

Speaking of destructive power, there probably weren’t many spells in this world that could surpass this one, except perhaps Auntie’s “Annihilation·Final Prayer”, the spell that killed the sea tyrant “Leviathan” with one blow from the Holy Bell Tower.

Izay didn’t count himself in this category.

After all, he was cheating.

However, after unleashing this move, along with the subsequent continued combat, Riviria predictably fell into a state of “mental exhaustion.”

At the exact moment Finn killed the Fourth Beast, it was as if the string in her brain snapped, and her whole body went limp.

It was Izay, who had been closely monitoring the battle, who caught Riviria, preventing her from falling to the ground.

And it seemed Riviria had foreseen this, for before losing consciousness in Izay’s arms, she specifically instructed, “Don’t let Loki touch me later.”

This was the reason for Loki’s complaints and teasing earlier.

“By the way, today the only one who could barely participate in the battlefield was the old man. As for the teacher, well, Finn, I think you might need a recliner chair?”

After teasing Loki for a while, Izay pulled the topic back to the main point.

To sum it up,

during the battle, all three were injured to varying degrees. They could converse normally now solely because of Izay’s healing.

Gress suffered the most severe injuries, but they were also the purest.

Whether external wounds, internal injuries, or cuts on his body, they were all healed by Izay.

Apart from that, the old man had no major issues; he just needed a bit of rest to regain some combat capability.

Facing Lv.1 or Lv.2 rookies would be no problem at all.

As for Finn and Riviria…

Their wounds were healed, but the lost physical strength and mental energy couldn’t be restored by Izay.

That’s why Riviria was currently sprawled out like this~

As a healer, Izay’s suggestion was to rest.

Finn couldn’t help but smile bitterly at this.

“Spare me, Izay. The commander sitting or lying on a chair giving orders, you can just say you want to see me embarrassed.”

“Nice idea, I think Izay’s suggestion is great.”

“Loki, stop messing around…”
