Chapter 665: 518 Vampire’s Fairy
"Boom!"
As the booming explosion echoed under the night sky, the cavern that served as a temporary refuge burst open with the impact of a giant magic bombardment, falling apart.
The cavern, which wasn’t spacious to begin with, was now thoroughly destroyed by the bombardment. Not only did numerous rocks fall, but its interior also collapsed directly, slowly getting buried.
At this time, if there were people inside the cavern, their situation definitely wouldn’t be good, right?
Luckily, those inside the cavern were no ordinary people.
"Bang!"
Almost the next second after the cavern collapsed and exploded, a blast swept through.
The blast blew away the rock fragments and propelled boulders, causing the people inside to seem like they were burrowing out of a pile of rubble, one by one appearing under the night sky.
Immediately after, the people inside leapt out, escaping from the collapsing ruins of the cavern.
"Everyone okay?"
Da Vinci, skating down from mid-air on her ice skates, shouted to her companions.
"I, I’m okay!"
Fujimaru Ritsuka looked utterly shaken, and was being held up by Tristan, evidently having been protected by him.
"I, I’m also fine!"
Matthew held up his heavy shield, tense-faced, but stood in front of everyone, protecting them all.
It was a reflex action.
His instincts told Matthew that this was what he should do.
This position was where he was meant to stand, or rather, where he most needed to be.
So, Matthew stepped forward without a moment’s hesitation.
As for Reiger, he did not fall in the same direction as the Chaldea party but instead held Altoria and landed on the other side.
Alberon had disappeared without trace.
Altoria hadn’t yet reacted.
In this way, everyone successively escaped the danger.
However, the enemy did not stop there but intensified their offensive.
"Buzz!"
As the air hummed, black magic bullets fell like rain from the sky.
It was a massive bombardment.
It was an overwhelming barrage.
One after another, the black magic bullets descended, like artillery dropped from mid-air, instantly covering the entire ground.
"Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang——!"
Before long, the ground was subjected to a frenzied bombardment, attacked by the violent magic bullets like artillery amidst bursts of explosions and quaking.
"Danger!"
Matthew had already raised his shield; his body shimmered with a brilliant light, looking as if possessed by a deity, miraculously expanding a barely visible barrier around the raised shield, blocking every magic bullet that rained from the sky.
"[Sanctuary of Strength]."
Reiger also unleashed magic, activating a protective barrier, causing the magic bullets falling from the sky to hit the shield, triggering a wave of violent explosions and impacts.
"’Stars ah——’"
Altoria finally reacted, quickly jumping down from Reiger’s embrace, raising the Chosen Wand, and invoking her magic.
In an instant, thick starlight gathered on the Chosen Wand and burst forth.
"What is this...?"
At that moment, everyone from the Chaldea party, except for Reiger, looked on in astonishment.
They felt it, under the illumination of this starlight, power kept surging from within their bodies.
They had grown stronger.
They had received Altoria’s enchantment.
"What kind of power is this? Magic?"
Da Vinci instantly cast an unusual glance at the fairy girl with the highly significant name.
"Altoria Custer...?"
Tristan also looked at Altoria, and for some reason, a mysterious thrill surged in his heart.
"Altoria..."
Matthew seemed to experience the same inner surge and excitement as Tristan.
After all, although she was not a Knight of the Round Table, she harbored the power of a Knight of the Round Table within her body.
Only Reiger, upon seeing Altoria bestow enchantment upon everyone, immediately turned his gaze skyward.
There, a figure floated in the air, releasing countless magic bullets towards the ground, creating a barrage.
And so...
"[Maximum Enhance·Ten Thousand Thunder Annihilation]."
Reiger unleashed an attack magic, a spinning magic array appeared in front of his elevated hand.
"Boom!"
The sky instantly delivered a dazzling bolt composed of numerous thunderbolts, striking the floating figure above.
"Aaaahhhhhhh...!"
A piercing shriek rang out from mid-air, sending a chill through the hearts of Fujimaru Ritsuka and others.
Because that cry was ominously disturbing; rather than a human scream, it resembled the wailing of a ghost.
Under the assault of the thunderbolt, the wailing figure plummeted from the sky.
The dark barrage finally ceased, allowing the earth to no longer be ravaged, no more explosions occurred, only the dust clouds spreading and shrouding the crater-filled ground.
All was silent, but the figure that had fallen from the sky now drew the attention of everyone on the ground, compelling them all to look towards each other.
"Reiger...Brilliant...!"
The wail-like voice rose once again.
Only, this time the wail was not a cry of pain but a roar of anger and hatred.
The attacker landed on the ground, with his true appearance gradually coming into view of the people.
Black straitjacket.
Unnaturally pale skin.
Bright red hair.
A surprisingly lovely figure and delicate features.
