She gracefully took out an antique and exquisite sandalwood incense burner and a heavy magic book with a cover made of an unknown leather from her storage space.
She lit the incense burner, and a strange, incense-like fragrance that could enhance concentration rose gently.
"In the name of Xia Shizi..."
She opened the spellbook and chanted obscure incantations in an almost aria-like tone.
"Bless our hero with a blessing of madness!"
"[Attack Speed Boost]!"
"[Spell Power Increase]!"
A faint purple halo appeared around Nami and Saeko Busujima, making them feel lighter and their minds quicker.
"It's not over yet."
Kasumigaoka Utaha had a sly smile on her lips as she extended her slender finger and lightly tapped a page in the spellbook.
"Go, my little darlings, and give the ladies across the way your sincerest greetings."
The Shadow Serpent!
Six tiny black snakes, composed purely of shadow energy, suddenly darted out from the pages of the book!
They moved silently, skimming the ground, and at incredible speed toward the remaining Phoenix troops!
"What the hell is that!"
One of the castle's retainers cried out in terror, raising his great shield to defend himself.
But those shadow snakes were incredibly agile; they easily bypassed the shield and wrapped themselves around his ankles!
"what!"
The member screamed in agony, feeling his magic being frantically drained, and his body becoming sluggish and weak.
“Debuff? Or damage over time?” Jill calmly analyzed from the side. “A very interesting support method, Utaha.”
"It's alright," Kasumigaoka Utaha closed the book and pushed up her non-existent glasses. "After all, we can't let Saeko-senpai and Nami have too much fun, can we?"
"Hmph, now I'm asleep!"
Nami felt the power surging within her body and excitedly clenched her fists, making a crisp "crackling" sound.
She looked at the [monk] and [queen] opposite her, who were holding staffs, and revealed the smile of a capitalist who sees that the KPI is about to be exceeded.
"Time to collect your debts! You two, would you rather be auctioned off as a package deal, or try out the electrotherapy package?"
Before she finished speaking, she had already transformed into a blur and rushed out.
Meanwhile, in the center of the battlefield, the Rhine and Myne sisters, facing Saeko Busujima, had extremely grim expressions.
They watched as their companion was ensnared by a strange black snake and weakened to the point of exhaustion.
I could also sense that the aura emanating from the woman with the knife opposite me was steadily increasing!
Can't wait any longer!
"Go, Myne!"
"Understood, sister!"
The two sisters exchanged a glance and simultaneously launched their attack!
As knights, they were as fast as lightning. The two of them, one on the left and one on the right, formed a perfect pincer attack. The knight swords in their hands drew two deadly arcs, slashing towards Saeko's neck and abdomen!
The combination is seamless!
However, Saeko Busujima's face remained completely expressionless.
Just as the two swords were about to strike him.
She moved.
[Clang!]
A crisp, clear clang of metal clashing against metal!
Not two sounds, but one!
Saeko Busujima's sword, at a speed imperceptible to the human eye, simultaneously blocked the slashes from two directions!
Her body sank slightly, the blade of her longsword pressed tightly against the two knight's swords, sparks flying.
"what?!"
Rhine and Maine's pupils contracted sharply.
Their prized combined attack was blocked so easily?
"too slow."
Saeko Busujima spoke softly, her purple eyes revealing a calm that seemed to see through everything.
"Your swords are weeping."
"Because it followed the wrong master."
The moment the words left her lips, Saeko flicked her wrist!
An irresistible force traveled along the blade!
Rhine and Maine felt a violent jolt in their hands, and their knight's swords almost flew out of their grasp. They were forced to retreat several steps before they regained their footing.
They stared at Saeko Busujima in horror.
This woman is not only fast, but also incredibly strong!
"Is this... your glory?"
Saeko Busujima slowly raised the long sword in front of her, the blade reflecting her beautiful yet cold face.
"Just like your swords."
"utterly vulnerable."
Chapter 152 Sofia Aini
Saeko Busujima's words were like poisoned steel needles, piercing deeply into the hearts of Rhine and Maine.
"You are insulting Lord Leval!"
"You are insulting the entire Phoenix family!"
The sisters' anger was completely ignited. They no longer cared about tactics or coordination, but poured all their magic power into their swords and launched another desperate charge!
This time, their swords were ablaze with the golden flames characteristic of the Phoenix family, creating an even more magnificent spectacle than before.
Faced with the fiery strike imbued with rage, Saeko Busujima merely curled her lip in disdain.
"Incompetent rage."
Instead of retreating, she advanced, her figure moving like a ghost as she met the attack, her long sword drawing incredible arcs.
[Jingle bells!]
The dense clanging of metal, like a torrential downpour pounding on banana leaves, echoed across the battlefield.
Despite facing two opponents alone, Saeko Busujima not only held her own but also displayed remarkable skill. Each of her strikes precisely targeted the weakest points in her opponents' swordsmanship, and each parry perfectly neutralized their force.
Rhine and Maine grew increasingly alarmed as the fight progressed.
They felt like they weren't fighting an individual, but rather wrestling with a bottomless quagmire. No matter how hard they tried, their opponent would easily deflect their attacks and launch a counterattack from an unexpected angle.
Several scratches of varying depths have appeared on their armor.
"I'll help you, Myne, Rhine!"
Just then, a steady shout came from behind.
The last remaining "monk" of the Phoenix family, a seemingly refined middle-aged demon, raised his staff high.
"Phoenix's support!"
A red glow, formed by flames, emanated from the tip of his staff, enveloping the entire battlefield.
The Shadow Serpents that had been coiled around the ankles of the Castle's servants let out a mournful hiss under the red light and vanished into black smoke.
Immediately afterwards, several golden halos descended from the sky, landing precisely on Rhine, Myne, and the two [Castle] Familiars.
[Power Boost]!
【A blessing of resilience】!
"Ugh, those annoying flies."
In the distance, Kasumigaoka Utaha clicked her tongue in annoyance and closed her magic book.
"That healer on the other side is something else, boss," Nami commented in real time. "She can dispel Utaha's debuffs and apply so many buffs to her own team!"
Rhine and Maine, having received the boost, were greatly invigorated, feeling a surge of new power flowing into their bodies, instantly sweeping away their previous suppressed dejection.
"Woman! Your death is near!"
"Pay the price for your arrogance!"
At the same time, the two burly [Castle] servants also moved.
They roared and charged at Saeko Busujima from the left and right, like two heavy tanks.
One person raised the tower shield high, preparing to restrict Saeko's movement with absolute defense.
The other man dragged his giant axe on the ground, creating blinding sparks as he prepared to deliver a thunderous blow.
Support, pincer attack, encircle and kill!
In the blink of an eye, Saeko Busujima found herself in a desperate situation of one against five.
"Oh ho, five against one? How shameless!" Nan Lixiang whistled, but her face was full of amusement.
Zhou Ye kept his hands in his pockets, his expression unchanged.
He simply stared silently at the center of the battlefield, at his sharpest blade, which was surrounded by the enemy.
Despite being ganged up on, Saeko Busujima remained fearless.
