During the battle, Lumina stood serenely, clutching her dazzling, emerald-green staff. Her presence radiated elegance, grace, and a sacred purity that drew people in.
Of course, most players were currently stunned by the Seven Elemental Weaknesses listed beside Lumina's name.
"She's so beautiful!"
Unlike the majority, Little Bear was immediately captivated by Lumina's graceful posture. He couldn't help but chuckle lecherously.
"Holy shit?!"
Snapping out of his daze at Lumina's breathtaking beauty, Little Bear noticed the long list of weaknesses beside her name. He promptly let out a curse worthy of Little Bear.
The comment section of the live stream erupted into a frenzy:
[Seven Elemental Weaknesses? What the hell?! (facepalming, laughing and crying)]
[She's too much! (T_T) She could have just listed three weaknesses, but she revealed them all!]
[See that Starskiff Jetty? Lumina summoned all of that.]
[The Seven Elemental Weaknesses are a symbol of Lumina's mercy, and a handout from the Planner. (laughing)]
[Seven Elemental Weaknesses! Streamer, streamer, hurry up and attack! I want to see what Lumina's really made of!]
"How could we possibly beat you?" March 7th said, her voice tinged with panic as she watched Lumina enter battle mode.
Us? Fight Sister Lumina? Seriously?
Even if they could win, March 7th couldn't bring herself to hurt her.
Thwack!
Just as March 7th was frozen in indecision, Stelle suddenly raised her baseball bat and swung it directly at Lumina.
But the moment the bat was about to connect, a vibrant emerald shield materialized, blocking the blow.
Seeing this, Stelle swiftly backflipped away, landing back with the Astral Express Crew.
"Wait, you're actually hitting her?!" March 7th stared in stunned disbelief as Stelle charged forward without hesitation, bat raised to strike Lumina.
Judging by your decisiveness, if I didn't know you liked Lumina too, I'd think you were sworn enemies...
Stelle gave March 7th a cool, dismissive glance, tightened her grip on the baseball bat, and said:
"Defeat Lumina, and she'll be my prize!"
With that, Stelle ignored March 7th and charged forward, swinging her baseball bat in a flurry of strikes. But every blow landed squarely on Lumina's shield, leaving not even a ripple.
"A prize..." March 7th froze, the word echoing in her mind. If I could defeat Sister Lumina and make her my prize...
...I could keep her by my side always, her warm embrace always within reach.
The thought solidified March 7th's resolve. A bow materialized in her hand, her eyes burning with determination as she faced Lumina.
"I'll defeat Sister Lumina and make her my prize!"
Welt: ?
Welt was utterly bewildered by March 7th and Stelle's sudden surge of fervent energy. If he wasn't mistaken, March and Stelle were quite fond of Lumina...
"But why them?" Welt's eyes were filled with confusion, utterly baffled by the situation.
After pondering for a moment, he gave up trying to understand. Since he couldn't make sense of it, he simply plunged into the battle.
Tingyun: ...
"That thing..." Tingyun—no, Phantylia—kept her gaze fixed on the ornate, jade-green staff in Lumina's hand.
"What is it? An Aeon's relic? Did the Aeon of Abundance give it to her?"
Phantylia narrowed her eyes, racking her brain for any recollection of the object.
Though the staff appeared purely decorative, Phantylia could sense within it a power capable of obliterating her with ease.
She didn't know what kind of power it was...
But she knew that anything capable of effortlessly annihilating an Emanator must be on the level of an Aeon.
"Looks like I need to reassess Lumina's threat level..." Phantylia muttered inwardly.

"How the hell am I supposed to beat this?!"
From the player's perspective, Little Bear watched his Underworld Goddess, Seele, unleash a fully buffed Butterfly Flurry on Lumina, dealing a colossal zero points of damage. He was utterly stunned.
[You're right, but that's Lumina for you: a noble boss with seven elemental weaknesses, a constantly spotlighted storyline, and absurdly powerful boss strength...]
[Holy crap, zero damage?!]
[Now you know why she has seven weaknesses—her aggro generation is maxed out!]
[Are you guys even reading the tutorial? It clearly stated from the beginning that you can only damage Lumina by exploiting her weaknesses!]
"Oh... so we have to break her weaknesses first..." Little Bear muttered, finally understanding after reading the comment section.
When the battle began, his attention had been entirely focused on Lumina's boss model, completely overlooking the initial tutorial message.
[Even with weakness breaking, this boss is still ridiculously strong!]
[Before the Weakness Break, I couldn't deal a single point of damage. After the Weakness Break, I only get one turn to attack. What kind of joke is this?!]
[I guess we should be grateful Lumina has weaknesses to all attributes. (Covers face and laughs)]
After a while, Little Bear finally whittled Lumina's Toughness Bar down to its last sliver.
"Seriously? This Toughness Bar is ridiculous..."
If a single E from Seele could break the Toughness Bar of regular enemies, Lumina required ten. This Toughness Bar was absurdly long...
Fortunately, whether due to the plot or Lumina's unique traits, she spent the entire battle healing herself instead of attacking.
"Let's see what Lumina looks like after the Weakness Break!"
Just as Little Bear was about to unleash a Super Headbutt to trigger the Weakness Break on Lumina, the battle abruptly ended, transitioning to a black screen. It seemed a cutscene was about to play...
