Chapter 329: Chapter 73: The fruitless struggle

"Raphael! Come back here!"

The human woman said this as she waved her hand, sending a shower of starlight towards Raphael’s position, but it was blocked by the lava that gushed from the ground... the Demon God named Diablo stood in her way.

"Primordial Mage, stay out of this."

Diablo said this while entangling with the sparkling starlight controlled by the human woman, saying, "Yila Elkaras isn’t anyone special to you. Why are you protecting him?"

To this, the human woman merely twitched her lips, lightly stomping her foot. Accompanied by a massive magic array forming on the ground, countless spikes emerged from the earth, powerful enough to pierce beyond, stabbing towards Diablo.

"What about you? What did Raphael give you to make you more willing to help? I can give you double!"

Diablo had no time to respond to the human woman’s words; she retreated explosively, trying to avoid the continuously pursuing ground spikes amidst the onslaught of the starlight bombs... However, her right arm was still pierced through.

Fiery blood immediately flowed out, dissolving the spikes.

"He said he wanted to help save the world."

Diablo answered, feeling her arm continually healing thanks to her extraordinary regenerative powers. She felt the intertwining light, darkness, and fire in the direction of the Demon King Territory and questioned the human woman, saying, "Can you offer double, Primordial Mage?"

"..."

*What now...?*

*If the human woman had the thought, she wouldn’t be standing here. After all, she knew about the existence of those calamities... whether it be the seals guarded by Heaven and Hell or the Evil God’s Followers resisted by the hunting squads.*

*Everyone knew these things, but only a few chose to help defend and protect.*

"Shut up! Are you crazy?"

The human woman scolded, but she knew very well that it was impossible for her to bypass the other’s obstruction to stop Raphael on the other side... nor was there any chance of dealing with the opponent.

*It was unlikely for one outlier to kill another outlier...*

*For more than [attacking] means, the ultra-strong regenerative and vitality that came with being an outlier were even more significantly transcendent reflections.*

*Then, bind the opponent!*

"Primordial Technique·Iris Flower!"

At the moment her words fell, an unstoppable orb of Mana still maintained its primordial form, enveloping Diablo. At that moment... Diablo felt a sort of lazy warmth.

*It was as if she was yet to be born, or like she was the new bud of the World Tree, not yet breaking through the dead dragonwood... warm and completely unwilling to move, like an unopened bud.*

Then, in the next moment, the bud was burned to ashes by lava.

Diablo, who reopened her eyes, immediately intercepted the human woman prepared to support Wenresa, transforming into a mass of lava that crushed the human woman’s Mana.

"Did you misunderstand something? If you aren’t good at fighting, you shouldn’t forcefully try to break through! Fall down!"

Diablo shouted this, and simultaneously, a massive rift tore open the beautiful night sky, revealing the true astral phenomena behind it. The normal daylight was then covered by a torrent of lava pouring down.

In there, the human woman received a thorough bath.

...

*Indeed, like Diablo, the human woman purely relied on her creation, [Ultimate Answer of Mana] and [Extreme Magic of Converging Paths] to become an outlier.*

*The human woman divided her [name], using the loss of [name] as the price to obtain the truth called [Primordial Technique]. This persistence... was indeed admirable.*

*But she was not good at fighting... surely, she could still crush non-outliers, but against those of the same level, she was like a frail researcher in a white coat among muscular warrior women.*

After the lava fell, the area completely transformed into a lake of magma... The vast flatland, following the battle of the outliers, became a basin. Fortunately, it was in an uninhabited area; otherwise, the nearby Beastmen would have been extinguished.

*This was destruction on such a grand scale that it was noticeable on a world map’s tectonic changes... However, this didn’t prove their power. Even Yila could achieve such a scene after multiple outbursts.*

*Yet, if such massive destruction was only the [aftereffects], and even intentionally concentrated [aftereffects], then it would indeed be terrifying.*

Diablo flew in the air, watching Wenresa Iluvita being entangled by her two sisters in the distance... In fact, this area’s terrain destruction was entirely their doing.

Under Wenresa’s [Raven Rainbow Eye] influence, the amount of Mana she could draw upon at once was immense. Innately, she didn’t need to chant—she truly was a natural artillery battery.

The dense magic, like a tidal wave, swept everything... Her sisters were even slightly at a disadvantage.

"..."

"Gurgle~"

Bubbles began to rise in the lava, and the human woman’s face emerged from that area, looking rather helpless... Her body below the neck was still soaking in the magma.

*Maybe her clothes got burned off, and if they were shown, it wouldn’t be suitable for broadcasting.*

"How hot... really hot, you were quite heavy-handed." The human woman complained.

To this, Diablo relaxed a bit, seeing the human woman without fighting spirit, and said, "You can come out. Raphael has no intention of killing Yila completely... he will probably trade his life once Yila’s identity is confirmed."

Such words weren’t reliable, but that indeed was Raphael’s plan... After all, Raphael was seeking a path to death, believing he could no longer change this doomed world.

*Hence, he focused his attention on the most unique individuals...*

"Is that so? Do you think I’ll believe it? Hmm... I’ll believe it if Wenresa believes it." The human woman said, looking up at Diablo without intending to get up. She merely moved her lips, chanting softly while soaking in the lava, "Primordial Technique·Mana Return·Divine! Hymn! Song!"

*After cautiously reciting the [trigger], all the intense lava around them instantly disintegrated into primordial Mana... As she fell due to the disappearing lava, the human woman’s clothes remained intact.*

And in the sky full of stars, the scattered Mana transformed into countless light and delicate silk threads, flying towards the sky. With the arrival of Mana, an ancient and long sacred song began to echo.

However, Diablo showed no signs of anxiety.

"You don’t have enough time, nor can you break through; after all, we don’t need to defeat you; we only need to not be defeated by you..."

Diablo said, spreading her hands helplessly, letting the virtual silhouettes appearing with the song pierce her abdomen with dreamy-colored spears... She casually shattered the silhouettes, and her wound healed quickly.

"I’m not in a hurry... and don’t hold a grudge later."
