After activating her magic, Ais’s speed skyrocketed explosively, her wind-wrapped figure almost transforming into a golden thread. An instant dash, swifter than the swiftest gale, and an overwhelming assault.

As if to knock down the enemy, she swung with all her might!

“!!”

Reivice’s expression suddenly changed.

It was one of disbelief.

Her instinctive swing with the great sword was knocked aside by Ais, who then followed up with a relentless wind slash, sending Reivice reeling back in astonishment with astonishing force.

“BOOM—”

The aftershock of the slash hurled surrounding rocks and crystal chunks into the air, a terrifying reverberation erupting as the ground crumbled into a deep pit.

Amidst the swirling dust, a battered figure stood up again, her equipment tattered.

Streams of crimson blood trickled down her cheek, but Reivice paid no heed to these minor injuries, her elongated eyes gazing at Ais with a complex and shocked look.

“This wind… I see, you must be ‘Alya’…”

Despite being injured, Reivice’s attitude was unusually calm, now scrutinizing the girl before her.

And upon hearing that name escape her lips, Ais’s heart raced with shock, her golden eyes widening as an indescribable wave of impact washed over her entire body.

“You… how do you know that name!”

The delicate throat quivered from shock, the jade fingers gripping the Sword of Despair turning pale, her mind filled with nothing but “why.”

Both were plunged into an unusual state of shock, creating an odd silence on this battlefield for a moment.

“—AAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!”

But just then, a wailing scream shattered the atmosphere.

“Eh!? W-Wait! What is this thing—!?”

In the farthest corner of Crystal Street, Lulune, crouched behind a cluster of crystal pillars, let out a cry of despair.

The bag she held emitted a radiant glow, and cries came from within, accompanied by an eerie wriggling sensation.

Terrified by this feeling, Lulune forgot about its importance and hastily threw it away.

The next moment, the bag burst open, revealing its contents.

A green gemstone. A transparent membrane enclosing liquid—and an eerie fetus.

Completely disproportionate to its small, round body, its large eyeballs stared intensely at Ais on the battlefield. The mysterious infant had hair symbolizing femininity, flowing in curves from its head to the front of its spine.

Its tiny hands struggled within the gem, moving around until its grotesque head pierced through the green film.

“—!?”

At this sight, Ais’s mind froze for a second, and Reivice’s face contorted with frustration upon hearing the scream.

Before either could react, the mysterious infant began to move, as if flying.

It darted across the entire length of the street in an instant, hurtling directly toward Ais.

“Take this—!”

“BOOM!”

Even amidst battle, Izay maintained enough awareness to notice Ais’s situation.

The moment he saw the fairy spawn heading towards Ais, he flickered into action. He picked up a nearby man-eating flower at random and kicked it with all his strength.

The powerful kick tore the chosen man-eating flower apart.

However, the crucial part containing the magic stone—the head—was deftly controlled to intercept the airborne infant mid-flight.

With only about ten meters left to reach Ais, this distance would’ve been covered in the blink of an eye.

The infant’s enormous eyeballs gleamed with visible excitement, already envisioning its impending victory.

But in the next instant, a shrieking man-eating flower appeared out of nowhere.

It blocked the path between Ais and the fairy spawn.

Unable to change course—or perhaps rear-ended at a crossroads—the infant collided straight into it.

Like a pebble sinking into water, it merged silently into the monster upon contact.

“What—!”

“Ohhhhhhhhhhhh(￣⊿￣)!!!!”

The supposedly dying man-eating flower erupted in cries.

Starting from where it made contact with the fairy spawn, changes spread throughout its body.

Red vein-like lines surged across its elongated form, its cries becoming increasingly shrill. Its long and bulky body began swelling, muscles bulging.

Before Ais’s horrified gaze, the spot where the infant had merged emitted a sound, and something began protruding.

It was like a butterfly emerging from its cocoon; thick red veins covered the man-eating flower’s body as plant skin formed rapidly, evolving into a humanoid upper half.

“ROOOOAAAARRRRR!!!”

From Izay’s side, the tree dragon, as if celebrating the birth of a new comrade, roared loudly.

But after only two roars, Izay silenced it with a Starfall, blasting it away.

More scales fell, the explosion deeply piercing the tree dragon’s flank.

“Don’t yell! You’re all just here to lose!”

Izay didn’t care whether the tree dragon understood or not, delivering a mocking insult regardless.

He’d beaten a Level 6 mature form, so why fear a Level 5 growth form created through transformation?

Admittedly, ignoring the outcome and focusing solely on the process, it was pretty unsettling.

After all, it was a parasitic monster…

The process was indescribable.

However, the tree dragon seemed unyielding toward Izay, charging forward recklessly with a fierce determination.

The appearance of its comrade revived the tree dragon’s previously flagging morale, summoning countless thick plant vines and gathering magical energy in its mouth.

There was no doubt that this would be a devastating, wide-ranging attack.

“Wanna finish this? Fine, I’m bored anyway.”

Realizing the tree dragon’s intentions, Izay glanced once more at Ais, confirming she hadn’t been affected by the fairy spawn earlier, before refocusing.

Instantly, an ominous blue mana exploded, distorting the surroundings.

Concentrating horrifying amounts of magical energy at the spear tip, Izay lowered his stance, stirring up a cold wind.

Though surrounded by scorching starflame, inexplicable frost swirled around him.

Centered on the silver spear glowing amidst the starflame, mana spiraled into a vortex, whistling furiously.

“———!”
