Ultra-short chant attack Magic.
Gospel: Satanas Verion.
This is a sonic-type bombardment Magic that unleashes and detonates Alfia's own noise.
Because the medium is sound itself, anywhere sound can reach falls within its attack range, and it possesses unparalleled destructive power.
Even its residual echoes can produce sonic booms capable of instantly annihilating a Level 5 Adventurer.
If hit by this, even if someone does not die, they will completely lose all their mobility.
Moreover, with its ultra-short chant, its casting speed is infinitely close to instant-cast Magic.
Apart from not being able to fire consecutively, this Magic has absolutely no flaws.
This was Rayleigh's final thought before losing consciousness.
...
Nearly ten minutes later, Rayleigh finally stirred.
First, his eyelids twitched, then his fingers, and finally, he regained control over his body.
Struggling, he propped up his upper body, lifted his heavy head, and looked toward the fallen group.
Then he saw Shakti and Ardi, who had not yet fully recovered.
Everyone else was lying flat on the ground.
This was the true strength of the strongest Adventurer. Even while holding back and showing mercy, she could instantly wipe him out and the entire Ganesha Familia.
If she had actual killing intent, they would surely have been turned into mincemeat by now.
This was a bombardment Magic capable of blasting even a Level 5 to bits!
That they had managed to withstand it could not even be explained as a miracle.
Most likely, Alfia had suppressed the power to its absolute minimum and only allowed the residual echoes to reach them.
"Rayleigh, are you alright?" Shakti asked with concern.
Rayleigh activated Kaidō to restore his own condition and replied, "No problem."
He looked at the fallen group. "Once I recover, I'll treat you all."
"That would be a great help." Shakti smiled faintly.
But remembering the woman who had escaped, her expression turned regretful again. "What a shame, we're letting that woman get away."
Rayleigh remained silent.
That was not escaping..... she had clearly spared them.
Though, given Alfia's nature, she would not kill indiscriminately anyway. For this group to defeat Alfia, the odds were less than one in ten thousand.
Unless they dragged it out until her illness worsened, there was no chance.
Even then, just one ultra-short chant Magic would be enough to kill them all.
Rayleigh recovered and began treating Ardi for her concussion, internal organ strain, and the varying degrees of muscle damage caused by the sonic boom.
For Adventurers, these were only minor injuries.
"By the way, Rayleigh, do you know who that person was?"
Facing this question, Rayleigh shook his head.
He couldn't say it. He shouldn't say it.
There were several reasons, the most straightforward being that once they knew the enemy was a top-tier Level 7 Adventurer from the Hera Familia, over half of Orario's forces would lose their will to fight on the spot.
Level 7 was that terrifying of a presence.
Moreover, there were two of them and both of them we're a top-tier Level 7.
The power of these two was enough to sweep through everyone in Orario and the Evilus combined, with no one able to stop them.
Considering Erebus plan, these two were the final bosses of this Great Feud.
Rather than having Orario divert unnecessary attention to them, it was better to have everyone focus on dealing with the Evilus first.
....
After a night's rest, the sun finally rose.
During the day, Rayleigh once again joined the patrols of the Astraea Familia.
Not just him.
Due to the Evilus' scattered attacks here and there, the major Familias had dispatched their elites to begin patrolling within the city.
Even Gareth, the Tank of the Loki Familia, was mobilized.
The city was now in a state of total mobilization!
The squad members gathered for action, except for Ardi. She was together with Shakti and the Ganesha Familia.
Today's task was for Adventurers, commissioned by the Guild, to distribute food to refugees within the city.
Incidents of street robbery like before were becoming increasingly frequent.
The reason was the chaos caused by the Evilus, leaving many people unemployed, their shops closed, or even outright destroyed.
These people now not only had no place to live but also no money for food, or any money at all.
Thus, the Guild requisitioned a large amount of food from the Demeter Familia.
At the relief distribution point, the Earth Goddess Demeter stood there with a bright smile.
Rayleigh stepped forward to greet her.
Her enthusiasm turned out to be somewhat terrifying.
Before he could react, Rayleigh was already pulled into her deep embrace!
Seeing Rayleigh's head completely buried in a huge mountain, Kaguya and Ryuu simultaneously touched their own chests.
'That Goddess is seriously dangerous! She's truly something else.... she is the embodiment of motherhood.'
Rayleigh was finally released before he suffocated to death.
He speak somewhat awkwardly, "Goddess Demeter, the streets are very dangerous right now. You don't need to be here personally."
Demeter smiled gently.
Her charming eyes curved into crescent moons. Propping her cheek with one hand and tilting her head slightly, she said, "I like seeing the children of the Lower World well-fed and satisfied."
Hearing this, Rayleigh smiled with a mix of admiration and emotion.
Then, Demeter added, "Besides, if there really is danger, Rayleigh-chan will protect me, right? Just like last time."
"Oh, thinking about it, I'm even looking forward to it a little."
"Please don't say that, if..."
"AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!"
Suddenly, a sharp scream rang out.
Rayleigh and Demeter froze.
The human and Goddess looked at each other for two seconds, then Rayleigh turned to look toward the end of the queue.
There, a man lay on the ground, seemingly already dead. His corpse was being trampled underfoot by a woman with a vicious appearance.
The moment they saw her, Kaguya and Ryuu immediately drew their swords and warned.
"It's her! That woman is an Evilus executive! And she's Level 5!"
Seeing a death occur in front of her, Demeter immediately moved closer to Rayleigh, hiding safely behind his back.
'Level 5? This woman... could she be Valetta, the ruthless executive of the Thanatos Familia?'
'A troublesome individual indeed.'
'And also a troublesome opponent.'
Frowning, Rayleigh said, "Lyra, protect Goddess Demeter."
"Got it! Leave it to me!"
At that moment, Valetta was shouting loudly, "Hey! Is this all Orario's got?! Then perish here you trash!"
Following her roar, a large number of Evilus enemies began smashing things and even casting Magic.
They targeted buildings and places densely packed with innocent people!
"Damn it, again!"
"Stop them!!"
Adventurers stepped forward together, engaging the Evilus in combat.
But no matter who or how many attacked at once, they were easily knocked down by Valetta, and some were even killed on the spot.
"Hadō Four: Byakurai."
A white-hot bolt of lightning shot through the chaotic crowd!
Noticing the incoming attack, Valetta stomped the ground, actually using brute force to kick up a thick wall of earth.
Boom!
The earthen wall exploded.
The Byakurai that pierced through the dirt struck Valetta's raised wrist, which she had used to shield her face.
Sizzle—.
"Haaaaah!?"
Looking at the hole burned through her sleeve and the slightly charred skin underneath, Valetta's gaze locked directly onto Rayleigh.
With a vicious expression, she said.
"I'm going to kill you first, you brat!"
