Lia unleashes overwhelming particle beams to obliterate a corrupted S-rank beast, completely erasing it from existence but lamenting the destruction of its corpse, which had briefly revived like an undead due to heavy miasmic corruption. Regretting the missed opportunity to examine its mutations, she presses deeper into the vast dungeon, following a stream upstream to seek monster settlements for clues about the layout and her father's location. While flying low, her senses detect a demonic presence and hear desperate cries for help from Miria, urging Lia to stealthily divert course toward the disturbance, ready to capture and interrogate the threat.

As the cries for help intensified with growing desperation, Lia reached the scene and discovered a colossal demon clutching a gigantic hammer, positioned on soil drenched in crimson blood.

The demon's enormous hammer dripped with gore, and simply beholding that sight filled Lia with intense revulsion.

Being the chosen of a divine spirit, Lia's spirit magic surges with rage and profound loathing against malevolent creatures, demonic fiends, and ruthless souls!

As Lia fixed her gaze on the demon, Kai abruptly called out.

[Those are!?... Oh no, that demon... we must stop that demon right now! Lia attacks him!]

Lia couldn't fathom why Kai's voice carried such frantic urgency, but her unwavering trust in him led her to skip any questions and instantly switch to battle stance!

Sword thrust directly at the demon, Lia wielded gravity via Kai's divine spirit gift, vastly increasing her mass and momentary velocity!

Her vast fairy-resembling wings beat with tremendous power, thrusting her onward like a missile!

Encased in armor and spirit magic completely, Lia dove from the heavens toward the demon resembling a plummeting hypersonic projectile; her accuracy, swiftness, and command were extraordinarily precise!

The demon wasn't a fool; as a true S-rank entity, the very second Lia broke from her deep camouflage, it detected her nearby!

Even though the demon reacted swiftly, Lia left no room for him to unleash abilities or set up real defenses, so he scarcely gripped his hammer to serve as a barrier!

The blade's edge of Lia's sword slammed into the demon's hammer with overwhelming force!

Though the hammer avoided total destruction, displaying only slight fissures, the demon was utterly stunned by the unexpected strike, and the raw power of Lia's blow sent him hurtling like a shot from a cannon!

Naturally, Lia refused to relinquish her opening assault's edge that quickly. Before the foe could grasp the chaos, she pressed forward with relentless strikes!

Lia at once triggered her supreme form through 'Spirit Merge'; her might escalated to rival an experienced S-rank warrior, her spirit armor shone more vividly, and her presence sharpened as every ability received extra enhancement!

Harnessing 'Spiritual Ascension' and her masterful grip on spirit magic, Lia called forth enormous lances of sacred spirit energy high in the air above.

She then infused gravity control into each one, endowing them with the power to release localized gravity repulsion surges!

This whole setup lasted only milliseconds before she swept her sword toward the retreating demon as the trigger.

At her cue, the multitude of spears—composed of sheer divine spirit magic and propelled faster by gravity repulsion—barreled toward the demon at such blinding pace that they appeared to vanish and reappear!

The demon wouldn't endure it passively; he swiftly employed his hammer to curb his flight backward, pounding the earth while in midair to generate a thrust strong enough to divert him laterally!

A huge spirit magic lance hurtled forward and impacted the spot where the demon had lingered, unleashing a tremendous detonation.

The terrain split wide, hurling fragments every which way!

While the demon evaded the opening shot, a swarm of others rushed in immediately, and though he strained to avoid every single one, a handful still clipped him, leaving minor slashes and injuries scattered over his frame!

Yet spirit magic impacts proved disastrous for demons; even those tiny gashes created huge difficulties for him.

Every injury received a flood of cleansing magic that disrupted his body's miasma operations, forcing him into a severely weakened condition!

Daring not to exhale in relief after sidestepping dozens of those enormous silver spears, the demon hurled his hammer down at the ground with colossal strength.

He understood his attacker certainly wouldn't permit him idle time after applying such intense debilitations.

To hinder the foe from closing in too readily, the demon sought to hammer the earth and unleash a vast shockwave that would ravage the vicinity and sever this barrage of linked strikes!

"That’s a clever method but sadly, it’s useless on me..."

A melodic female voice pierced the demon’s hearing, and before his hammer could connect with the ground for the shockwave, a sword stab pierced his enormous chest!

That blade stab's force sufficed to tear a gaping hole in the demon’s belly, yet he narrowly twisted his body to shield his crucial parts!

The immense force launched him into the air, and immediately afterward, huge silver lances showered upon him from all sides, as though aiming to pierce him like a pincushion!

"RARRRRRRRGGGHHHHH!!!!!"

This unending chain of assaults fully incensed the demon, turning his eyes crimson with rage as he roared furiously, heedless of the large tear in his upper body!

Infusing miasma to heighten his bodily power, the demon began flailing his hammer wildly around in a frenzied blur, like one bereft of reason!

"I WILLL KILLLL YOUUUU!!!! AHHHHHRRRRRHHHHH!!!!"

Catching the demon’s threat, Lia aimed her sword at him and declared,

"Try it if you can!"
