With a gentle pinch of her fingers, two fluorescent blue lights emanated from her fingertips, and thick jets of water emerged from them.

The high-pressure, powerful jet of water broke through the wall of fire and attacked Sephiroth at high speed.

Everyone was stunned as they watched the magnificent and intense battle.

The demi-humans could only stand and watch from afar, unable to go up and offer any assistance.

The pace of the battle was too fast for these soldiers to handle.

Aurelion's eyes widened.

As a diligent and studious child, Aurelione had thoroughly studied the monster encyclopedia that Victor had given her, over and over again.

All the abilities used by the white monster in front of them could be found in the encyclopedia.

"Banshee Echo...that's clearly a powerful skill of the Banshee of Darkness."

"That wall... looks like the Flame Ape's Wall of Flames?"

Aurelion couldn't believe it and even thought she was seeing things.

But the next second, the ability that Saphiros used made her confirm it directly.

Two streams of water crashed violently into Saphiros's body, but she stood motionless, as if her body had been completely petrified.

Its body was also covered with a layer of stone-like gray sheen.

"The gargoyle's [petrification]!?"

Just as Kokot said, she really wasn't a normal human being!

How could a human possibly use the skills of a monster?

Unless she is a mage, she cannot use magic with a similar effect.

But clearly, there was no magical fluctuation in her body at all.

As the water flow gradually subsided, Saphiros's petrification was lifted.

The next second, her body emitted a purple light, as if lightning was constantly flowing through it, and sparks began to flicker on it.

This time, Aurelion almost blurted it out:

"That's a [Lightning Stream]! Don't go near it!"

"The lightning surge will only last for a few seconds, after which her speed will slow down!"

After being reminded, Cocot immediately became alert.

Just as Aurelion had predicted, her body seemed to be covered by purple electricity as she charged towards Kokot, creating streaks of flame in the air.

The surrounding trees were all smashed in half by Saphiros, and tree fragments flew everywhere.

At the critical moment, the clouds sensed the crisis.

Without even Cocotte needing to urge it, it immediately flew into the air with a mournful face.

Dodge the lightning bomb that exploded in an instant.

As the thunder gradually subsided, Kokot clenched his fist, and a yellow lightning spear flowed from beneath him.

Following the earth, it suddenly darted under Saphiros's body and burst out of the ground.

[Fourth-Tier Magic: Shining Thunder Spikes]

Whoosh!

The yellow lightning spear pierced through Sephiroth, who was slowed and frozen in place, leaving her hanging in mid-air.

This attack severely injured Saphiros.

But Kokot, who could have pressed his advantage, was instead sitting on a cloud, looking down at Sephiroth.

"You can't beat me."

"I'll give you a chance to tell me who you are."

Kokot could sense that the woman in front of him was indeed very powerful.

All her movements seemed to be designed for battle.

This is a pure fighting machine.

His strength is probably around the fourth rank, but this is just Kokot's prediction.

Because she sensed that the other person wasn't using their full strength.

Of course, she didn't use her full strength.

However, Saphiros did not answer her question.

Even when she was hurt, she seemed completely unaffected.

Those serpentine eyes unconsciously glanced at Aurelion to the side.

She just heard it.

It was that human girl who saw through her skill.

"[Switch target, danger level - None]"

"【Requires advance processing】"

The moment Kokot saw Saphiros shift her gaze, he immediately understood her intention.

She immediately raised her hand, and a green magic spell instantly rose up.

A colossal, flourishing tree burst forth from the ground, its thick trunk trapping Sephiroth within.

But the next second, Saphiros pulled out a long blade from somewhere.

With a slight movement of his body, he executed a massive spin, swiftly severing the giant tree in two.

Where did the knife come from?

Kokot hadn't even had time to react.

But by the time she tried to stop it, it was too late.

As if she had suddenly accelerated out of thin air, Sephiroth had already rushed to Aurelion's side.

【Iaijutsu - Slash】

The long, cold light shot towards Aurelion.

Everyone held their breath, but the next second, another cold light was unleashed, blocking Saphiros's attack.

She looked up and saw a female knight in armor.

Her face was cold as she pressed the blade of her sword against her own longsword.

A cold voice rang out from Gwen's mouth:

"This time, you won't be able to launch a sneak attack."

A staggering burst of fire erupted from Gwen's blade, the intense heat and the rising air creating an unprecedented pressure on Sephiroth.

【resentment】

The two blades collided, and the originally fierce flames instantly erupted.

Red runes slowly lit up on Gwen's blade, releasing powerful magic.

The long blade in Sephiroth's hand became somewhat distorted due to the bizarre high temperature.

But she was still unwilling to give in, and she and Gwen clashed head-on.

Meanwhile, nobody noticed.

The black feathers around Aurelion's waist swayed slightly.

On a huge, extremely lush tree, a dark figure stood on a branch at some unknown time.

Its body was hidden behind the leaves, and it looked down with only one eye.

"interesting."

"It seems Victor was right, we actually did run into this guy here."

The crow muttered to itself, a cunning glint in its eyes.
