At Rhode's command, the companions responsible for long-range attacks launched their magic:
"Purple Flame Rain!"
"Smoke Assault!"
"Plant Knuckle!"
Macao's purple flames formed a rain of bullets, Wakaba's smoke transformed into several fists, and the seeds thrown by Troy quickly grew into thick vines.
Additionally, there was Marcus's sand, Laki's wood, and Lisana's Water Blade...
Various magical attacks flew toward the soldiers of the Gate of the Underworld, who had just rushed out.
The sound of explosions, the clashing of armor, and the screams of soldiers rang out together.
These people, indeed the 'elite troops' of the Gate of the Underworld, were only brought down by dozens from a wave of firepower covering them.
However, things weren't over yet.
Jet, Nabu, Bigda, Mickey, and others, who weren't good at long-range attacks, weighed the magic crystals in their hands and threw them forward vigorously.
After quickly throwing two rounds, they immediately flipped open their magic books, and each page shimmered with light, transforming into various spells flying toward the Gate of the Underworld's ranks.
"Get down!"
"No, defend now!"
"Quick, raise the shields!"
"Whoa!!!"
In a chaotic moment for the enemy, the Bursting Magic Crystals hit the ground and exploded, blowing away dozens of people in an instant.
The formation of the Gate of the Underworld once again had a gap, and wind, fire, lightning, water, and other magic came crashing down, the brilliant light almost overshadowing the Netherworld King Beast's open mouth.
The army of the Gate of the Underworld suffered heavy casualties in no time.
"Don't panic, counterattack quickly, rear team, fire magic bullets! Front team, charge with me!"
Someone tried to maintain order and attempted to launch a charge.
But they first encountered not the human mages but a swarm of bugs.
A large group of bizarre, blue-purple insects leaped toward them.
Even though the formation was chaotic, their momentum was relentless.
Moreover, these insects, while jumping, were tainted with a purplish-gray glow, quickly growing from knee-high to half a person's height.
"What the hell are these things?!"
The soldiers of the Gate of the Underworld hadn't figured out who their enemy was before they muddle into battle with the Void Worms.
Compared to ordinary guild cannon fodder, their combat power could be considered formidable.
But the earlier two waves of 'firepower covering' and the Fire Dragon celebrating above the Netherworld King Beast slightly affected their morale.
Coupled with the fearless, chaotic fighting style of the Void Worms, the soldiers were somewhat caught off guard.
Speaking of which, the style of these bugs seems like it should match their guild more, doesn't it?
"Useless, held up by such things." Having completed her demonization transformation, Minerva casually raised a hand, blasting away dozens of worms immediately.
She gazed obsessively at her demon-like hands, marveling, "This powerful strength... it's fantastic!"
"Lady Minerva!"
The soldiers were invigorated; although she was a newcomer, she belonged directly under Kuanghua, ranking above them.
A smile tugged at Minerva's lips as she charged forward: "Follow me, continue battling."
"Yes!"
Bang! Bang! As Minerva's hands freely unleashed power unlike before, the Void Worms were swept away en masse.
Even though the soldiers behind gradually fell behind, she still tore through the swarm alone by sheer force.
"Lady Minerva! You're charging too fast!"
"Please, look at our position!"
The soldiers behind called out, but Minerva paid no heed.
For she had already seen her opponents.
Kana, Lisana, and Elfman were waiting for her ahead.
The sight of Minerva's half-human, half-demon appearance startled them all.
Kana speculated, "Is this the Receiving Magic: Satan's Soul like Mira's?"
"Receiving magic? It's not such a lowly thing, but a stronger power!"
Minerva retorted with a terrifying smile, "Kana Alberona, you're just in time, the account from the Great Demon Fighting Martial Arts hasn't been settled yet!"
"How do you know we're giving it to Team B..." Kana hesitated, mainly because she had been anxious about this recently.
But she suddenly realized Minerva probably wasn't talking about that and corrected herself:
"It was just a contest; there's no reason to hold a grudge until now, is there? Besides, wasn't it you who threw the match?"
The Great Demon Fighting Martial Arts was recorded; Kana had felt something was off during the match, and it wasn't long after that she discovered that Minerva had thrown the match with him...
Kana couldn't understand why she did it at the time, nor why she would resent her opponent for a loss she caused herself.
"Perish!" Minerva didn't want to explain and directly charged forward, her hands exuding tremendous energy.
Kana sensed that the attack was hard to handle, and threw out a few cards, quickly pulling Lisana back a few steps.
Close combat confrontation was Elfman's job.
"Beast King's Soul!"
Elfman roared, his fist swinging toward Minerva, yet in his Beast King form, his power was instead met with Minerva's explosive strike, pushing him back a few steps.
Immediately after, he took a kick to the side, sending him sprawling sideways, "Ugh!"
"Brother Elf!" Lisana thrust her palms forward, spraying a thick column of water to prevent further pursuit.
But Minerva entirely ignored Elfman, disregarded the opportunity to pursue, and instead charged red-eyed toward Kana.
"Tch!" Kana quickly evaded, throwing several cards to obscure Minerva's vision with smoke while complaining, "Now I know why Rhode insisted I deal with her."
―This person seemed to be petty, disregarding everything else upon seeing her. Despite appearing in a high position, she wasn't even commanding the army now!
"Kuanghua's subordinates are still too immature." Like a phantom, Geese suddenly appeared, waved a magic wand, and three figures emerged on the battlefield.
"Go, Eagle, Owl, and... Pigeon!"
"As you command, Lord Geese."
The three replied in unison, although they were manipulated corpses, their spiritual essence seemed nowhere near Shilba's.
Hidden in the Alchemy Mist, Jubia recognized the trio that had suddenly appeared, exclaiming, "That's... the Three-Plumed Crow!"
Lucy exclaimed in shock, "But... weren't they dead?"
Killed at Akane Beach.
During that incident, they witnessed the Magical Elf Power.
"It's him! The necromancer!"
Gray's anger flared up instantly, black patterns on his right arm extending to his shoulder, assuming a bow and arrow stance, a splendid, silvery bow and arrow taking form in his hands.
"Ice Demon: Zero Break Bow!"
As Gray released the bowstring, the silver arrow flew with lightning speed, blazing across the battlefield, covering a distance of two to three hundred meters in the blink of an eye, pointing directly at Geese!
