Chapter 80 Dilemma

Before she could stop it, Slime Slayer's greatsword was already swinging at the blue-haired witch. The black greatsword, carrying the force to stir up waves, slashed down fiercely.

But the time it took for Slime Killer to rise from the ground to mid-air was enough for the blue-haired witch to react. She turned her wings and flapped them to the side, quickly dodging to the side as well.

Slime Slayer reacted quickly; even with the greatsword swung with tremendous force, he forcefully twisted the angle and slashed at one of the blue-haired witch's wings.

Snapped!

Countless blue feathers were severed, producing a chilling scraping sound. Half of the blue-haired witch's wing was cut off, and surprisingly, it did not appear to be a magical creation.

The power of that slash was astonishing; the force it generated even cleaved straight cracks in the lava at least twenty meters below, and the resulting hot wind swept around.

Red blood stained blue feathers, the bewitching and magical colors swirling in the air, falling together with the blue-haired witch who had been swayed to one side due to her severed wings.

"You hit it?!"

"Yay!"

To Cassius's surprise, this time the attack wasn't blocked by a Stand or obscured by wings as before; the captain truly struck the powerful witch.

I thought there might be a trap; the captain is really too strong.

All of this happened in an instant. The blue-haired witch, whose wing had been cut off, reacted immediately. She didn't seem to be able to activate her cognitive impairment ability again right away, so she flapped her wings again to dodge to the side.

The broken feathers, mixed with blood, were blown by the wind towards Slime Slayer. He spun around using the momentum of his greatsword and slashed horizontally at the blue-haired witch.

Facing the sharp and imposing greatsword, the blue-haired witch actually smiled, and didn't even look at the Slime Slayer, but instead looked at the crowd below.

puff.

"Cough...what?"

Just as Cassius was anticipating that his powerful captain would be able to slay the witch, a sharp claw pierced through his chest.

It was the talon of an eagle, sharp and pointed. In an instant, it pierced through all of Cassius's defensive magical artifacts, while Cassius's barrier had been shattered by the blue-haired witch a moment earlier and had not yet had time to regenerate.

Cassius remembered that it was an eagle transformed from the blue-haired witch's wand. Its sharp claws pierced through Cassius's back to his chest, grabbing the organs that had been pulled from his chest, and dripping blood was falling.

Unbeknownst to everyone, the wand had vanished when the witch reappeared.

No, Cassius did notice something was wrong, but—he developed cognitive impairment.

The witch sacrificed herself, giving up half a wing in exchange for this opportunity to attack.

"Hey!"

After the talons pierced through Cassius, a tremendous impact followed. The giant eagle launched its attack from the air, and at the moment it pierced through Cassius, it was also swooping down.

Using the momentum of its dive, the giant eagle spread its wings, grabbed its prey Cassius, and soared into the air once more.

"Cassius!!!!"

Only at this moment did everyone realize that Cassius, with his chest pierced, was being carried into the air.

"Gale!"

Whoops!

Anna reacted immediately. She waved her wand, and a fierce wind, under her control, swept down on the giant eagle.

The gale pressed the giant eagle to the ground, but Jokina had already drawn her sword in an instant and slashed at the giant eagle. The giant eagle decisively released its talons and threw Cassius out as a shield.

Jokina's sword deflected, only narrowly missing its vital point, tearing off a piece of flesh and blood from the giant eagle's leg and countless broken feathers.

Spinca, displaying the speed of an assassin, leaped up and caught Cassius, who had been pierced through the chest.

Just moments before, in mid-air, Slime Slayer's greatsword had already swung towards the blue-haired woman.

"Ha—ah!"

With the force of her entire body spinning, the greatsword slashed down with astonishing power. The blue-haired witch was somewhat surprised, and with a solemn expression, she bent her arm to block, using the last remaining wings on her back to protect herself.

boom!

The greatsword first sliced ​​through the tough wings, then slashed at the blue-haired witch's body. But as soon as the blade touched her arms, countless feathers burst out from her arms, blocking the greatsword's attack.

At the same time as a loud bang was heard, countless blue feathers were pushed away by the fierce wind generated by the greatsword, like a blue sword aura being slashed out, and finally scattered in the air.

After that sword strike, the blue-haired witch vanished.

"Cassius!!!"

At the same time, the shouts of his teammates for Cassius reached Slime Slayer's ears. As the feathers fell, he turned around and saw Cassius, who had been pierced through the chest by a giant eagle and carried into the air.

The giant eagle released Cassius, but it was not giving up. It tried to swing its talons again at Spinka, who was unable to defend himself while saving Cassius.

boom!

A black greatsword came from below with a speed that seemed to tear space apart, piercing through the giant eagle's body. The giant eagle was then caught by the greatsword's hilt, and its body was pulled by the greatsword and embedded in the ceiling.

The Slime Slayer had just landed on the lava, and just before making contact, he suddenly bent his knees and kicked backward.

He used the force of the blast that created the lava crater to quickly head towards his teammates.

"You're out of weapons, huh?"

thump!

When those words reached Slime Slayer's ears, he had already been struck in the back by an invisible blade of air. His sturdy armor blocked the damage, but the downward force still came from his back, slamming him into the scorching lava.

"team leader!!!"

Lava is not hot water, but solid rock with a density many times that of the human body.

Slime Slayer crashed onto the lava surface, which was similar to crashing directly onto dry soil, but the deadly heat penetrated his armor and enveloped his entire body.

Slime Slayer bent his legs, trying to escape the lava once again with his powerful physical strength, but several more fierce wind blades struck, immobilizing him and causing him to sink deeper and deeper into the lava.

"Haa!"

The extreme heat scorched the Slime Slayer's legs, causing excruciating pain.

The continuous attacks caused the blue-haired witch to appear from the air. Parts of both of her wings had been cut off, but she did not fall.

Her hair flew wildly, her feathers stood on end, clearly indicating that she had used upward wind magic to stabilize herself, allowing her damaged wings to still function.

呲味味味味味...

But as the blue-haired witch continued to unleash wind magic attacks on Slime Slayer, countless fire arrows also rushed in. Anna, below, waved her wand and once again surrounded her with fire arrows.

The blue-haired witch's face darkened, and she had no choice but to abandon her offensive against the Slime Slayer, instead using wind magic to disrupt the fire arrows and escape the attack.
