CHAPTER 851: CHAPTER 663: ALYA

"Hoo!"

The sound of the roaring wind arose.

It was the sound of someone running at full speed.

By the time she realized it, Ais found herself running like this, like the wind, recklessly charging out of the battlefield dyed in firelight, swiftly heading toward the direction of the red crystal main pillar.

Her target was the creature attached to the red crystal main pillar — "Treasure Bead Embryo."

"Ais?"

In the firelight, someone called out Ais’s name in astonishment, seemingly not expecting her to suddenly take such action.

The enemy also seemed a bit surprised, and hurriedly summoned new monsters.

"Giant Flower!"

The man in the white robe, hidden somewhere, shouted loudly, causing one of the remaining two giant flower monsters on the red crystal main pillar to stir and, with a rumbling vibration, drop from the surface of the pillar just like the previous one.

"Roarrrrr!"

Amidst a storm-summoning broken bell roar, the giant flower monster opened its mouth full of fangs and lunged at Ais like a snake preying on small animals.

Instantly, Ais was enveloped in the storm-like roar of the giant flower monster, as if truly caught in a storm, her golden hair wildly whipped.

Facing the bloody maw that could easily swallow ten of her whole, Ais’s silver dagger in her hand was comparable to a toothpick, incapable of inflicting significant damage on that massive body, a fact that had just been proven.

Therefore, to reach her target and swiftly kill that life which couldn’t exist in this world, Ais decided to unleash her true power.

"Ais! Don’t!"

A boy who, despite possessing the same power, had easily burned the giant flower monster without activating it, seemed to have guessed Ais’s plan and shouted at her.

Sadly, with only the "Treasure Bead Embryo" in her eyes, Ais resolutely unleashed her true power before that moment.

"[Awaken.]"

The atmosphere around the golden-haired, golden-eyed swordswoman started to become chaotic.

"[Wind Spirit Swift Walk]!"

The most extraordinary auxiliary magic was awakened at this moment.

Then, the air began to shake.

Then, the wind began to whirl.

The airflow wrapped around the swordswoman’s delicate body like an invisible armor, pushing everything around away.

Facing the giant monster approaching right in front of her, Ais increased the wind power to its maximum output and attached it to her beloved sword.

"Roarrrrrr...!"

The giant flower monster reacted fiercely to the swordswoman’s magic power.

The swordswoman flew towards the giant monster, carrying the roaring wind.

Next, there appeared the sword light enveloped in the whirlwind.

It was a cold blade of light.

It was a massive blade of light.

The golden-haired, golden-eyed swordswoman swung her arm against the giant monster that was lunging to attack, releasing a slash so wide it could sweep away thousands.

The powerful wind roared with the light from the slash, causing the horizontally bursting sword light to slice the bloody maw, slice the massive petals, and even slice the monster’s head.

"-------"

The roar suddenly ceased.

Time seemed to stop at that moment.

The strongest female swordswoman, known as the [Sword Princess], exerted her full strength, unhesitatingly awakening the Wind Miracle, executing a swift slash faster, sharper, more ruthless, and simpler than the boy who had chanted widespread annihilation magic, slaying the giant flower monster even larger than the floor master that should not have been beaten with close combat.

"Wha—"

Between the echoes, the sound of the white-robed man’s sharp inhale was filled with disbelief, reverberating throughout the great hollow.

Ais herself felt quite incredible.

Since ascending to Lv.6, this was the first time Ais used wind (magic).

Ais could clearly sense that her wind (magic) had become stronger, even far more powerful, more extraordinary than before.

Previously, Ais was called the strongest female swordswoman in the city while being at Lv.5 because of the power of this magic, allowing her to have combat strength equal to Lv.6 adventurers.

Now, Ais had leveled-up to Lv.6; her magic has become more extraordinary and powerful than before.

Combined with mastering the breath of the wind, Ais’s magic further strengthened, alleviating the burden on her body. Now, in terms of pure basic abilities, after the strengthening of wind (magic), Ais has surpassed Finn and Grace, who are at the pinnacle of Lv.6.

If it’s the current self, she surely could easily defeat Udaeus, which in the past required a fierce battle to have a chance of victory, Ais thus was assured.

"It can be done."

Feeling this, Ais’s sharp gaze turned towards the embryo attached to the red crystal main pillar.

However, as Ais looked at the embryo, she was shocked to discover that the gaze of the embryo looking at her seemed to have changed.

The previously gloomy gaze became bright.

The previously cold gaze turned joyful.

The previously violent gaze turned longing.

Like seeing a long-sought treasure, like seeing the other half long desired, the embryo rotated its eyeballs and shouted loudly.

"Aaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

It was a sound akin to a newborn’s crying when birthed, a piercing cry.
