"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
As three consecutive loud explosions echoed in the battered and hardened metal corridor, the entire passage shook, and flames swept through like a storm.
Three massive fireballs struck the surging green flesh tide, as if three nuclear bombs had been thrown into the sea of green flesh, erupting one after another, reducing the green flesh tide to dust with countless giant chunks flying about.
"[Flame Volt]!"
Reiger shot out thick Flame Thunder, continuously firing, making the Flame Thunder burst forth like red lightning.
"Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boomââ!"
The explosions resounded continuously, and the Flame Thunder soaring through the air blew up the flying chunks of green flesh, flipping over the coming green mass in the back, ultimately shattering the corridor, causing the super hard metal to fall from the ceiling, forming a stone pile that blocked the green fleshâs path, leaving the green mass behind the rubble.
Such a massive commotion naturally made Ais and others who were running wildly in front stop in their tracks.
"Itâs, itâs Mr. Reiger!"
"Mr. Reiger is here!"
"Great!"
The team members were instantly overwhelmed with joy and tears.
"Reiger..."
Ais also uncharacteristically showed a look of delight, allowing her tense body to finally relax.
"...Mr. Reiger?"
Rephia, in a nearly mentally exhausted state, struggled to open her eyes, trying to catch a glimpse of her object of admiration in the blurry vision.
Reiger turned around, gazing at his companions who were covered in wounds, exhausted, yet still looking at him with joyful expressions, causing his heart to tighten.
Especially when he saw Rephia, nearly mentally exhausted, slumped on Aisâs back, unable to move, yet still holding on not to faint, an unnamed fire surged in his heart.
Reiger could only suppress this nameless fire and release healing Magic.
"[Drop of Healing, Tears of Light, Permanent Holy Sanctuary, call forth the medicine sonnet here.]"
"[Melody of three hundred and sixty-five, the healing calendar shall save all things.]"
"[Then, come forth, dispel evil.]"
"[Bury wounds, banish sickness.]"
"[Send the Curse to the other shore, send the Lightâs Nave.]"
"[By the name of the Goddess â I shall heal.]"
A pure white magic array unfolded at Reigerâs feet, covering everyone present.
"[Diya Flatel]!"
The highest level healing Magic was unleashed, causing light particles to surge from the pure white magic array and float into everyoneâs bodies.
Immediately, the wounds on Ais and others began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Unfortunately, healing Magic could only heal wounds, not restore spiritual power.
"Mr. Reiger..."
Feeling the warm Magic Power floating within her body, Rephia, with her injuries healed, finally couldnât hold on anymore, closed her eyes, and fell into sleep.
"Rephia!"
Ais instinctively shouted, her voice full of worry.
"Rephia!"
"Rephia!"
The others also noticed Rephiaâs unconsciousness, their joy disappearing, turning instead to urgency.
"Donât worry, Rephia is fine."
Reiger swiftly moved next to Ais, reached out and touched Rephiaâs delicate face, and then spoke.
"Itâs a typical case of mental exhaustion, her spiritual power is completely drained, she will wake up after some rest."
As he spoke, Reiger turned his gaze to the others.
"Iâll take you out first, be prepared."
Without giving them time to react, Reiger spread his arms.
"[Group Teleport]!"
This was a teleportation Magic that could transport a group, bringing multiple people around together.
"Swish!"
And so, they all vanished in an instant.
"Boom!"
Only then did the green flesh tide slowly swallow the obstructing rubble, squeezing through the space, flooding into the corridor, completely covering it.
...
"Swish!"
Outside the artificial labyrinth Knossos, Reiger returned with Ais and others, causing a dense crowd of figures to suddenly occupy a spacious area.
"This, this is...?"
"Outside the labyrinth?"
"Are we out?"
Everyone only felt a blur before their eyes, their bodies seemingly weightless, and when they felt solid ground again, their vision had changed from the labyrinthâs demonic lair to the sewers outside the labyrinth.
Although it wasnât the surface, leaving the labyrinth and returning to the sewers still made everyone feel a sudden relief, looking around while displaying surprised expressions.
"...Weâve returned?"
Even Ais was dazed for a few seconds, almost failing to react.
"Ais!"
At this moment, a voice called out to Ais.
"Revilia..."
Only then did Ais see Revilia and the support group running towards them.
"Thatâs great, youâre all safe."
Seeing the unharmed Ais, Revilia relaxed her face, but then her heart tightened again due to Rephia, who was unconscious on Aisâs back.
"This is... mental exhaustion?"
As the strongest Magic Guide in Orario, Revilia naturally discerned Rephiaâs current state with ease.
This let Revilia understand that Ais and others must have experienced a fierce battle.
Itâs to be noted, Rephia possessed Magic Power second only to her, known as the Elf Mage who was a magic power fool by Bert, her vast spiritual power was something ordinary Magic Guides could hardly imagine.
For such a Rephia to fall into a state of mental exhaustion, just how many times did she use Magic?
