Lia resolutely faced the Serpent Leader's curved blade without dodging and executed the Blazing Swordsman's level 20 Ultimate Skill, Explosive Flame Slash.
Crimson blood bloomed like flowers, even more vivid than the girl's red hair.
The Serpent Leader let out a piercing scream as its body was cleaved in two by the Explosive Flame Slash.
Blue, foul-smelling blood sprayed across the sky.
The Trident Scepter in its hand dropped to the ground.
Orbs of light burst forth from the Serpent Leader's body, showering upon Snow Goose and the others.
They cleared the twelfth level of the Mystic Realm and received the Divine Gift from the World Tree Goddess.
Each person gained a level and three pieces of Purple Gear burst forth.
But Aiko and the others felt not a speck of excitement.
Each team member's heart was in their throat, anxiously looking towards the short-haired girl who stood in place, the greatsword bloodied in her hand.
"Lia, are you... alright?"
