"Hahaha! Apollo, it looks like my Kouhai-kun's kids are about to take care of those idiots in your Familia!" Hestia stood up, placing her hands on her hips, and laughed loudly without any pretense.
"Hmph, this is only the beginning. My Familia's main force is still intact."
Apollo snorted softly. Seeing the sloppy performance of his Familia adventurers indeed made him very unhappy.
But as long as they could offer him the final victory, he could forgive their incompetence.
The thought of those few cute and powerful girls joining his Familia made him a little excited.
"You weren't saying that just now! What was it, 'eggs hitting a rock,' 'guaranteed loss'?"
"I think your so-called main force will probably be defeated in seconds by those girls who look like Valkyries," Hestia said using exaggerated terms. No matter how weak the Apollo Familia was, they were still an LV3 Familia.
They wouldn't be defeated instantly by a few adventurers who were supposedly LV2.
The focus shifted back to the Apollo Familia on the forest battlefield.
"Have you received any reports?"
"Not yet!"
Daphne, the commander, would call people over to ask if there was any news from the scouting squads they had sent out.
An hour or two had passed, and they still hadn't received any news. This made Daphne feel that something was wrong.An outlandish idea suddenly popped into her mind. The cause was still her friend Cassandra's dream: perhaps those people sent out had already been completely wiped out!
Daphne's face suddenly changed at this thought. Losing nearly half of their viable forces in one go was truly a major headache.
"Daphne..."
Cassandra, standing nearby, saw the change in Daphne's expression and quickly came to her side, calling softly.
"I'm fine. Pay attention to your safety later."
Daphne felt that after the entire scouting force disappeared, the surrounding environment constantly transmitted a sense of insecurity and danger.
"Mmm... I know, Daphne. You should pay attention to your safety too!"
The relatively weak Cassandra looked at Daphne with worry. As the commander, Daphne was highly likely to be the priority target for the Lin Feng Familia.
A few minutes later, Cassandra left Daphne's side and returned to her original position.
After all, Daphne was the commander; she couldn't be distracted for too long, especially during the battle phase.
Daphne's feeling was right. Hayasaka Ai and her group had already arrived near the Apollo Familia and were hiding nearby, observing their formation.
"Proceed according to the original plan!"
Hayasaka Ai waved her small hand. Everyone reapplied the buffs that had faded. Four-colored lights sequentially appeared on Kanae and the other two.
"Railgun Activate!"
This attack was significantly weaker compared to Misaka Mikoto's ultimate move, a true lightning strike.
If it were the genuine ultimate move, Lin Feng would not have let Hayasaka Ai use it. A real lightning strike would probably leave this group of adventurers without even bones remaining.
As Hayasaka Ai activated Misaka Mikoto's Railgun Card, the clear sky suddenly formed a patch of dark clouds. Occasional loud thunder rumbled inside—the prelude to the railgun activation.
"What is going on!!!"
The Apollo Familia's position suddenly fell into chaos. The sudden gathering of dark clouds above them, occasionally flashing with white-yellow lightning, seemed ready to strike the ground at any second.
Daphne, the commander, and Hyacinthus, the Familia Captain, naturally noticed the situation above their heads immediately.
They had never seen anything like this before, making Daphne feel deep down that they might lose.
But as the current commander of the Apollo Familia, she had to remain dutiful even if she resisted internally.
"Daphne, what are you frozen for? Hurry up and get the members to gather! Don't panic and lose formation!"
Hyacinthus shifted his gaze from the cloud-covered sky to the ground, seeing the members of his Familia in disarray. He immediately roared at Daphne with a distorted face.
As an LV3 Second-Tier adventurer, he naturally sensed that something was wrong with the sudden gathering of dark clouds.
But he couldn't pinpoint what it was right now, so he could only try to calm his Familia members first.
"All members, quickly gather into small teams! Observe the surroundings carefully, and be ready to follow my command to attack!"
Daphne heard Hyacinthus's impolite words and couldn't help but curl her lip. She remembered being forcibly taken by this Familia Captain. How could she possibly give him a good attitude?
Hearing the roar of Daphne, the Familia commander, the panicking adventurers quickly formed into small teams as normal...
Standing near Daphne were five or six mages and five archers, ready to follow her orders.
"Boom!!!"
A thin, white-yellow bolt of lightning suddenly struck the ground, causing white smoke to rise immediately.
This was only a small prelude to the railgun.
The real railgun strike would not be this small in scale.
The dark clouds in the sky brewed for three minutes, with continuous thunder rolling. The single bolt that just struck was merely one that accidentally detached from the main force.
But just that one strike had scared the Apollo Familia adventurers half to death. If lightning struck them, they would likely be severely injured or crippled.
"Scatter quickly!!!"
Daphne saw that the dark clouds in the sky looked wrong, coupled with the lightning that had just struck the ground. She quickly shouted loudly to her Familia comrades around her.
"Scatter! Scatter!"
The captains of the various small teams repeated Daphne's words, but it was already too late.
"Boom!!!"
A massive flash of silver-white light appeared in the dark clouds and struck right in the middle of the majority of the Apollo Familia adventurers. The sound of the explosion instantly spread outwards through the air.
Dust and stones flew everywhere, and the adventurers, who had been somewhat noisy moments ago, were now silent.
"What... what kind of magic is this!!!"
Daphne's voice was slightly distorted at this moment, her eyes wide as she looked at the impact site.
The dark clouds in the sky quickly dispersed after this one strike, and the clear blue sky with white clouds returned.
However, just as they were still surprised and shocked, Hayasaka Ai and her group appeared within their field of vision.
"Pull the pins! Everyone throw in one direction!!"
Following Hayasaka Ai's shouted command, black objects arced through the air like parabolas, falling at their feet.
They were already reeling from the shock of the lightning strike, and now their minds couldn't comprehend what these black objects were. Daphne's heart tensed, and she quickly shouted loudly: "Get out of your spots! Danger!!"
"Boom!!!"
Daphne's voice was almost simultaneous with the sound of the grenade explosion, a moment too late.
