Chapter 93: Izay: Eat My Starfall! (First Update, Please Subscribe!)

A horde of monsters filled the wide passage, their numbers so vast it was daunting to look at.

Seeing countless monsters wriggling about in a chaotic mess, the ugly creatures that humanity inherently rejects seemed to have emerged en masse, enough to send shivers down anyone’s spine.

Suddenly, Izay had a feeling.

“If I cast Starfall now, wouldn’t it be—”

An instant one-hit KO?

In his mind, Izay couldn’t help but imagine that scene.

However.

ZOOM—

In an instant, Refia’s energy shield rippled.

This was a unique occurrence when defense met attack.

The elfin girl instinctively covered herself with her hands.

A metallic sphere, glowing with a sheen and produced within the body of a Dragonfly Monster, clattered onto the ground.

“Trying to sneak attack me, huh?”

The Dragonfly Monsters, capable of ranged attacks, were hidden among the dense crowd of monsters, making it impossible to tell where the bullet came from.

“With this many, Izay… should we retreat?”

Raul wasn’t interested in watching anymore. He wasn’t sure if Izay and Refia could handle such a massive number of monsters.

It was a “Monster Feast,” but compared to the lower levels, the quantity and quality of monsters in the Middle Layer were incomparable.

There was a decisive difference in scale between the two.

“Retreat? I don’t think it’s necessary…”

Izay spun his spear into a flourish, planted it firmly into the ground, and spoke with determination.

Reaching behind him, he retrieved a high-grade Mental Recovery Potion.

As the vanguard, Izay usually didn’t carry too many Spiritual Medicines. Typically, he only carried two or three at most.

After all, he had to fight monsters head-on, and carrying too much medicine would not only be inconvenient but also risk being damaged during battle.

“Speaking of which, I haven’t shown you guys my magic yet, right? Perfect timing to demonstrate its power.”

“Hey, stop joking around, Izay! This is a Monster Feast we’re talking about. We’re outnumbered dozens of times over, and you still have time to experiment with magic? If you want to rely on magic, protect Refia and let her chant a wide-area attack spell!”

Upon hearing Izay’s words, Raul instinctively chimed in with criticism.

Refia possessed wide-area attack magic, universally acknowledged as the second most powerful category of magic.

On the upper floor, it was already classified as wide-area annihilation magic; there were very few users of such magic in the entire city of Orario.

If they intended to break through the current situation, covering Refia while she casts her magic was a must.

At least, that’s what Raul believed.

“Relax, watch me perform!”

Izay waved his hand to reassure him, preparing to put his idea into practice.

Taking a step forward, Izay moved several paces ahead.

Behind him, Refia looked at the situation and blinked. “Shouldn’t we stop him? Izay hasn’t even picked up his weapon…”

Raul twitched at the corner of his eye upon hearing this. “I don’t know what he’s planning, but Izay isn’t stupid—he wouldn’t do something without confidence.”

Both were filled with questions.

And Izay stopped two or three meters away from them. Turning his arms across his chest, his expression grew solemn.

A bright yellow magic circle with a diameter of half a meter appeared beneath his feet.

Following that, an overwhelming amount of magical power surged out from Izay’s body.

“Celestial Movement of All Things!!”

With a low shout, the space within the channel instantly brightened. Nearly the entire bark-composed ceiling was enveloped by a colossal magic circle.

The area where the trio stood was entirely bathed in golden hues, and the numerous monsters ahead were illuminated.

The massive magic circle formed at a speed that left everyone awestruck. Before anyone could react, dark gold star rocks began to emerge.

A meteor tens of meters in size tore through the air within the channel, creating gale-force winds as it roared toward the cluster of monsters ahead of Izay.

Even before the monsters could scramble to escape, the meteor had already fallen.

“BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!”

In an instant, intense light dominated the field of vision, thunderous sounds pierced the eardrums, and the ground shook violently.

The moment the dark gold meteor made contact with the ground, it shattered explosively, transforming into a giant bomb.

The channel groaned in agony as the grassy terrain was violently torn up and hurled into the air.

The explosion spread flames, along with countless tiny golden particles, raising dust and rampaging through the channel.

“—!!”

After a long pause, when the aftermath of the explosion subsided, Raul opened his eyes, which had been forced shut by the intense light, and his jaw dropped like it had dislocated.

Numerous magic stones and fragments shimmering with blue-purple auras lay scattered.

Monsters on the ground, their bodies glowing faintly with golden light, struggled helplessly to rise.

Where was the heart-stopping Monster Feast that once loomed before them?

Not a single lethal hornet remained from the initial wave.

As airborne creatures, they were the first to get crushed by the falling meteor.

Refia fared no better than Raul.

Both were utterly stunned by Izay’s terrifyingly powerful magic, unable to recover for a long time.

This was the “Monster Feast” inside the Great Tree Maze!

Dozens of monsters, including some extremely troublesome flying types.

If it were anyone else, ninety-nine percent of adventuring parties who regularly operated in the middle layer would have fallen to them.

Perhaps a lucky one or two might survive, but just barely.

Yet, this formidable lineup of monsters was almost completely wiped out in an instant!

“Are you kidding me? Magic with this kind of power… actually…”

Almost instantly summoned by Izay?

Refia felt a flicker of doubt about the path she’d always resolutely followed.

If someone with such natural talent for Magical Arts became a warrior instead, why bother learning magic?

She might as well switch to melee combat.

After all, seeing Lady Riviria swing her staff around always looked pretty cool…

“Basic operation, sit down, both of you!”

Izay turned around, saw their shocked expressions, and grinned mischievously, pretending to comfort them.

In reality, he was just reveling in his own satisfaction.

So many monsters, one magic spell!

Snap!

Gone!

All gone!

Divine! Refreshing! Invigorating!

The feeling was akin to a stone golem pulling off a successful scam against five people—it was exhilarating.

“Hmm, stop spacing out. There are still some survivors; let’s finish them off.”

After indulging himself for a bit, a sudden sense of depletion swept through his body, bringing him back to reality.

That one spell cost him a third of his magic power.

Oh man, can’t afford to play around like that.

Terrified, Izay quickly gulped down a high-grade Mental Recovery Potion to calm his nerves.
