A tremendous explosion shook the ground, accompanied by a blinding light that seemed to split the darkness. Agents who were too close were thrown back by the wave of hot air, some nearly toppling from their defensive positions.
Not stopping there, the mighty Valkyrie lifted its axe with both hands and stepped forward with its head held high. Its red axe spun like a storm, mercilessly cleaving through enemies. Each swing swept away many foes at once, flesh and blood flying in all directions. The outcome of this battle even surpassed that of the two white lantern envoys, creating a visual impact so brutal that it made the onlookers tremble.
At the same time, the steel horse landed on the ground. With a loud thud, shockwaves spread in all directions. A large group of rats was thrown into the air, their bodies flailing helplessly like leaves caught in a storm.
Suddenly, the steel horse neighed to the sky and lifted its legs high before bringing them down with a force that shook the ground.
Explosion!
Waves of energy spread, clearly visible even to the naked eye. The vibrations traveled like waves, destroying everything in their path.
At the same time, Vivi's sword trembled violently in her hand, transforming into Garōzanbaken (Fanged-Wolf Horse-Slaying Sword) or, since it was bestowed by Raigō, it became Kokuenken (Black Flame Sword) nearly three meters long. Meanwhile, Christine's magic staff appeared to glow. Its size remained the same, but the dragon pattern etched on its surface suddenly lit up with a blinding light. The pattern moved, twisting as if alive, swirling around the magic staff and emitting a sharp whistling sound.
However, the most striking was Brynhildr. After receiving the blessing from Raigō's shockwave, Brynhildr's body grew to eight meters. The giant blood-red axe held by Brynhildr also expanded, now enveloped in bright flames. Each swing of the axe brought destruction, burning and incinerating the giant rats to ashes in mere seconds.
At the same time, many members of the special forces were shocked to realize that their weapons had also changed. Whatever they held, the power of the weapons surged drastically.
Doctor Druid stared at the two strange entities with gleaming green eyes. The bald man's breath caught as he observed their mysterious aura.
"Magical beings?" Doctor Druid murmured. "From what dimension do they come? They possess dark energy... but do not spread chaos. This... is very strange. Very, very strange!"
"Awesome! These two reinforcements are incredible!"
Vivi enthusiastically swung the Kokuenken (Black Flame Sword) without feeling any weight. Vivi's muscles tensed, but her body remained agile, as if the large sword were merely an extension of her arm. Vivi's sharp gaze quickly caught sight of three skeletal wizards rising from the pile of rubble.
Without hesitation, Vivi gripped the hilt of her sword tighter, then turned to face the Three Arts Wizard.
"Scattered upon the bones of beasts! Sharp tower, red crystal, steel ring. Move and become the wind, stop and become tranquility. The sound of clashing spears fills the empty castle—Hadō #63: Raikōhō! (Fiery Lightning Howl)!"
Vivi's voice echoed, followed by a dazzling flash of golden light.
Explosion!
Raikōhō, the strongest soul technique Vivi could unleash at that moment, erupted with tremendous force. The crackling lightning transformed into a wave of thunderous lava, sweeping everything in its path. After being blessed twice by Raigō and the Magic Sword, its destructive power nearly matched that of high-level soul techniques. The thunder wave surged wildly, obliterating the ruins and burying the three skeletal wizards in an instant, sweeping away everything around it.
Doctor Druid, who had appeared calm and indifferent until now, began to show a change in demeanor. The Doctor's brow furrowed, his hand lifted, and his lips moved quickly to chant a defensive spell. Vivi was not an opponent to be underestimated. The lightning unleashed by Vivi was too powerful—if Doctor Druid did not act quickly, the wall of creeping plants blocking this area would be shattered to pieces.
After all, Doctor Druid had promised the Lord of the White Sky, or Lance, to ensure that this disaster did not spread any further. However, deep in his heart, Doctor Druid did not want to embarrass himself by showing weakness.
Meanwhile, Coulson, nearly blinded by the dazzling lightning, hurriedly fished out his sunglasses from his pocket. After putting on the sunglasses, Coulson calmly raised his pistol and pulled the trigger several times.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Several shots were fired, and each bullet struck the body of the giant rat roaming the battlefield. Thick blood dripped from the small wounds that formed on the creature's body. Coulson's eyes widened in disbelief.
"Is magic really this powerful and terrifying? What is the principle behind this strength?" Coulson murmured.
Coulson knew very well that the gun he was using was a specially reinforced model, but previously, the weapon had hardly any significant effect on these strange creatures. The bullets would merely bounce off their thick skin without leaving a mark. Yet now, a single shot was enough to create a hole in the enemy's body. This was not just a minor enhancement—this was a drastic change that was hard to believe.
Victoria, standing next to Coulson, let out a long sigh.
"That's why we are actually in greater danger," Victoria said softly.
Wizards, magical beings, and other supernatural entities were far too terrifying. If ordinary people were caught in between them, how could they possibly survive?
However, Coulson seemed not too bothered by it. In a casual tone, Coulson said, "Creatures like them have existed for thousands of years, yet this world is still governed by ordinary people. We can always coexist with them. I'm sure there's a reason behind this balance; we just don't know it yet. Until we uncover these secrets, there's no point in worrying too much."
Victoria glanced at Coulson briefly before slowly shaking her head. "Maybe."
Victoria's hand moved to the tactical tablet in her grip, her eyes scanning the data displayed on the screen. There was one figure far more terrifying than the enemies they were currently facing. In a serious tone, Victoria asked, "Should we send someone to contact this person?"
