(Bell): "Oww ..." - he g.r.o.a.n.e.d as he lay down on the sofa in the living room.

They had been like this since the middle of training, which made him not even finish in an hour, Astolfo accompanied him to the sofa. Normally he would train with Jack, Lili and Astolfo, but Hestia, who for some reason had woken up early, kidnapped Jack and Lili was learning to cook with Tamamo, since she wanted to make Bell praise her for the food the same way he did with Tamamo and Syr.

(Astolfo): "Master, are you okay?" he asked when he lay down.

Hestia approached the two, and Jack was nowhere to be seen, possibly she hid or they just weren't noticing her. Tamamo and Lili were still in the kitchen.

(Bell): "I feel more tired than I should... when I woke up it wasn't bad, but now it is a little strong... I think I got a fever..."

(Jack): "Are you sick Mommy?" - She asked while appearing beside him and pressed a glass of cold water on Bell's cheek, causing Bell to smile relaxed.

(Bell): "Ahh... that feels nice..."

Tamamo and Lili came back from the kitchen at that time.

(Tamamo): "Master, are you okay?" - a look of concern appeared on her and Lili when they approached him.

(Bell): "I feel tired..."

(Lili): "Master Bell used a lot of magic yesterday, especially on his return. Maybe his 'Mind' hasn't fully recovered."

In fact, after that spell against the <Infant Dragon>, he tried to repeat the feat on the way back. It didn't cross his mind, but he felt it wasn't that.

(Tamamo): "I think we better not go to |Dungeon| today. Saber must be fighting and is using a lot of energy to stay alive."

Hestia was pale when she heard that.

(Hestia): "She must be at around |Fifty Floor|, right? She stopped there, didn't she? She didn't go any deeper, did she?"

Like a mother who was worried about her son who was making a delivery for the first time, she could only be upset with her second child in |Deep Floors| where even the legendary [Zeus Family] failed.

(Tamamo): "Knowing her as I do, she must have continued."

(Astolfo): "Dragons are seen in this area, aren't they? She is going to have some difficulties."

(Lili): "Yes... Lili heard that dragons around |Fiftieth Floor|, either have good air mobility, or have a great resistance to fire."

(Astolfo): "So Master will rest today, if Saber is out of step she will need a lot of energy. We cannot run the risk of Master passing out in the middle of |Dungeon|."

(Tamamo): "But you can go out, or take a walk... staying inside the house must be boring, but someone will accompany you."

(Bell): "I think I can go talk to Mr. Welf about the two-handed sword... and maybe something for Lili too..."

(Lili): "You don't have to worry about me, Master Bell." she said hastily.

(Astolfo): "I'm going with Master. If he gets sick I call Hippogriff and bring him here."

(Hestia): "Okay!"

(Lili): "In that case, can Lili visit the owner of the store where I was staying? Lili wants to see if he is okay."

(Tamamo): "Sure, do you want me to accompany you?"

(Lili): "No, Master Bell may need you here." - she said and soon after left.

(Hestia): "So Jack and I are going to spend the day together. Or do you want to go with Bell?"

(Jack): "We are going to be with Mommy Hestia."

(Bell): "Are you going to take her to work?"

(Hestia): "Yes, with two pets I am sure that sales will increase."

(Tamamo): "Aren't you going to make the [Emblem] of [Family], Lady Hestia?" - she asked innocently but Hestia felt like she was stabbed.

An [Emblem], or a band that [Family] can unite under. Almost every [Family] in Orario had one as it was a demonstration to the city that someone was adventurous. Hestia still needed to decide one, even though she was leading a [Family] for almost two months and had several members.

(Hestia): "It is difficult to decide that, okay? It is something that will hold me for the rest of my life at Gekai!" - she said defensively.

(Astolfo): "Then take something about this time with us. After all, we won't be with you one way or the other."

That was another stab in the heart of Hestia. As a [Goddess], Hestia was immortal. Any damage she suffered, whether fatal or not, at Tenkai would be healed immediately with her divine powers. Even if your head separates from your body, your Arcanum would heal you perfectly. However, that would make her go back to Tenkai, and never go back to Genkai or Bell and the others again.

(Tamamo): "You don't need to be filled with sorrow, Lady Hestia. Make sure these memories are your greatest treasure."

(Jack): "We are already doing this."

(Astolfo): "We just have to wait for the Master not to die early, right?" - he said in a deboxed way.

(Bell): "I'm just going to visit Welf. What dangerous things can happen in a smithy?" - he said with a smile and getting up.

The moment he got up he collapsed on the floor, making them all jump, while writhing in pain on the floor.

(Astolfo): "Damn it!" - he said and soon after that he quickly dematerialized.

Jack quickly looked back and forth between the now invisible Astolfo and the collapsed Bell before letting out a pained and tearful wail and quickly dematerializing as well.

(Tamamo): "Lady Hestia, give him the 'Mind Potion' now!" - she said throwing a bottle, which was always with her in case Lili didn't arrive in time, for Hestia and dematerialized like the others.

(Hestia): "R-right!" - she went to Bell and made him drink the potion - "Aggh! What a time for [Supporter] to not be here! I don't know who I'm more worried about! Saber or Bell now!"

(Hestia): "What can I do?" - she said as she put the ice on his forehead and started to ventilate his body - "Wait, I know!"

She turned the Bell over so her back was exposed, took a knife from the kitchen, stuck her finger in and blew his blood on his back.

(Hestia): "I'll keep updating your status until you wake up. This should help with the strain and ..."

Hestia's voice trailed off as she stared at the numbers on Bell's back and status.

(Hestia): "WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON?!"

Fifty-Eight levels below the surface, a battle was raging between three different factions. The dragons of the | Dragon Urn |, the unknown <New Species> and [Loki Family] 's [Adventurers] plus one.

(Saber): "These <New Species> is suck!" - she shouted throwing her sword into a caterpillar wich exploded on impact, taking out over a dozen of them in a instant, the sword turned back to her hand.

(Beth): "I agree." - he shouted as he ran towards the caterpillats cutting them with his 'Dual Roland' daggers while the ice magic that came out of his boots froze them and the acids inside them, so they didn't explode.

(Tiona): "How many do you still have?" - she said attacking one of the <Wyvern> who came down to attack them.

(Bete): "Just one more, but it's fire."

(Ais): "It won't do for dragons or <New Species>." - she had to dodge another attack.

(Saber): "Lefiya!" - she shouted, turning to [Elfa] in pink clothes.

She didn't even waste time looking at Riveria and asking for permission.

(Lefyia): "Fall like rain, burn the savages to ash! Fusillade Fallarica!"

While being protected by Finn, Tione and Riveria, since <New Species> went after her because of the magic, she released her magic. It did not hurt the <Valgang Dragons>, but dealt with some <Wyverns> and some exploding caterpillars. But Saber was not seeing much difference in numbers.

(Saber): "The |Dungeon| replaces monsters so fast? It doesn't seem like the numbers are decreasing." - she said avoiding the attack of a <Valgang Dragon> and immediately jumped to pierce one of his eyes.

Saber was having trouble with dragons, not only did they have fire resistance, their scales were tough and smooth on all parts of the body, except for their feet for some reason, so whenever she attacked it had the same effect as sharpening her stone sword. She hadn't faced dragons before, but she didn't think their scales would be that tough.

Saber saw their inverse scale, the only weak point in the body of a dragon, when Gareth spun and released that <Virant Dragon> and it was right on the part almost touching the ground, she would not be able to get it right since to have an effect it would have to pierce that scale, trying to cut would not do.

(Gareth): "Not really. The records of the [Zeus Family] said that this floor appeared a lot of dragons and <Wyverns> but it didn't say anything about their rate appearing again, but only the <Wyverns> are coming back quickly, they should be coming of the hole that we went down. And <New Species> coming from the previous floor is not helping. " - he replied while hitting the ground with his axes, sending a line of thorns knocking out the dragons and hitting some <New Species> that started to climb on the dragon's body and devour it.

Lefiya looked like he was going to be sick. The others were surprised too. The monsters had never attacked or eaten the bodies of those who fell before, only [Adventurers], but <New Species> did not follow this rule.

(Tione): "Does anyone know how long we've been fighting here?" - She said eliminating the last caterpillar near them.

(Riveria): "No, and this is bothering me, we are using too much energy here."

In fact, they didn't even know when they started fighting, but they were sure that hours had passed. They kept fighting until Saber realized something.

(Saber): "Guys! Is it just me, or is the <New Species> pushing us to the center?" - She shouted while taking a <New Species> and hurling it at a dragon that had opened its mouth at that time.

When the cartepillar hit the dragon's teeth they gushed acid and exploded. The explosion does not vary in effect, but acid ran all over the dragon's interior and made it fall.

(Finn): "I realized that too, we are even moving." - he said as they moved because <New Species> was pestering them again.

(Tione): "Why is that?"

(Riveria): "They must be trying to get to |Fifty-Ninth Floor|..."

Riveria's mood was not good, most of her songs were long, she could only provide healing and defense support, attack only if she was well away from her enemies, but the new <Wyverns> who appear did not seem to want to follow this idea.

(Ais): "What's down there?" she murmured to herself.

She was a little frustrated as she was facing the same difficulties as Saber, and even with her magic she was unable to do considerable damage.

At that time a crack appeared on the wall behind the Riveria group, and a new <Valvant Dragon> came out of it.

(Tione): "Watch out!"

In the same way that Lefiya did with Raul, she pushed Riveria and Lefiya, because as magicians, they did not have a good resistance. The newborn dragon attacked with its tail and launched Tione. Finn managed to catch her but she almost blacked out with that attack.

(Tiona): "TIONE!"

She had just managed to smash the head of a <Valvant Dragon> and looked at her sister. The first thing she wanted to do was go check on her sister. Seeing her from that state left her frustrated.

At that time Bell's words came back to Tiona's mind.

(Bell): 'Well... I'm sure I was wondering why I wanted to be strong, and then they just came. "

Why she wanted to stay strong. The reason was your sister. It was to protect your sister. She was always protecting her in the way she could, ever since they were Telskyura. And it would not be now that she would fail to do so.

With a cry she sent her open hand on the floor up to her elbow, then she closed her hand and pulled hard and when the hand left the floor she was holding a weapon, her 'soul weapon'.

Her 'soul weapon' was similar to her 'Urga' except for a few details. First, the weapon's color was more amber-colored. Second, the two blades were shaped like an hourglass, they thinned in the middle. And third, one of the blades had no point, it was flattened, and it had no edge, as if it were a sledgehammer in the shape of a sword.

She ran up to the <Valvang Dragon> who was just born, turned her weapon so that the mallet was in front and hit in the dragon's head. The dragon's skull even went down with the blow. Everyone was impressed with that weapon. It had been a long time since Tiona had tried to wake her up and finally she had succeeded.

(Saber): "Umu! I knew you had one..." - she said to herself.

Fortunately at that time she realized that the numbers were starting to decrease. She ran over to Riveria and picked her up.

(Saber): "Riveria begins the enchantment, I'll make sure they don't hit you. Lefiya start you spells too and hit the <Wyverns> who are still in the air." - she shouted the second part.

Everyone understood Saber's plan. Ais, Bete, Tiona, Finn and Tione, who drank a potion and improved, stayed close to Lefiya to protect her. Riveria started the enchantment and Saber started to move. Riveria did not lose her composure with Saber's movements. Many magicians could only make the song if they stood still, without external movements. Riveria did not have this weakness.

(Lefiya): "Fusillade Fallarica!"

(Riveria): "Wynn Fimbulvetr!"

Lefiya's spell hit the <Wyverns> that were in the sky, and none more came from the hole they fell into. Riveria's spell froze the <Valvang Dragons> and <New Specie>. Soon after, everything was silent.

(Saber): "I think we are entitled to a break now, right?" - She said approaching the group and putting Riveria on the floor.

(Tiona): "Please say yes." - She said making her new sword disappear.

(Finn): "Yes."

The floor was littered with [Magic Stones] and |Drop Items|. Gareth took Saber to lecture on 'common sense', since she had willingly jumped the first hole. Tiona was with her sister and Ais who asked to see her 'soul weapon'. Lefiya and Riveria stayed together while Finn guaranteed that everything was going to be well ahead.

(Riveria): "What do you think about Saber?" - the question was so sudden that Lefiya took a while to answer.

(Lefiya): "I can't stop asking myself, 'is she really a Level 1?', because I still feel like she hasn't revealed everything she has, but the [Guild] saw it so I can only believe."

(Riveria): "Do you think she is like Revis?"

(Lefiya): "No, I think it is much more likely that she will go up against her if she leaves."

(Riveria): 'Finn can rest with this then.'

Finn returned shortly after that thought.

(Finn): "Everyone! Let's rest for an hour before going to the next floor." - he screamed.

Gareth stopped the sermon and everyone joined him.

(Gareth): "Is there a problem?"

(Finn): "The entrance to the next floor is right there. And according to [Zeus Family] records, the |Glacier Territories| is on the next floor..."

(Tione): "That's right. It's said that glacial streams run across the land, making it hard to advance, and bitterly cold winds make it hard to even move your body..."

(Lefiya): "I'm with the 'Salamander Wool'. Enough for everyone here."

Raul and Alicia delivered the 'Salamander Wool' they were carrying to Lefiya when Finn said they would not follow them. 'Salamander Wool' was a type of fire-element armor with cold-resistant properties. Like the name implied, the wool was infused with the power of smaller [Spirits] known as Salamanders for [Adventurers] as they ran through the [Dungeon]. Though they were rather expensive, even a [Third-Class Adventurer] could purchase it if they saved enough money. But Finn remained silent.

(Finn): "The entrance is not far, we should feel the cold here... but we are not feeling any cold."

Indeed. They should be able to feel the cold that came from |Fifty-Ninth Floor|.

(Bete): "You saying something's fishy?"

(Gareth): "[Zeus Family] wasn't the type to exaggerate their findings."

(Ais): "What should we do, Finn?"

(Finn): "...I don't think we're going to need 'Salamander Wool'. Check the supplies. And make sure they're really good."

Everyone agreed and separated to do their thing, be it resting or looking at the walls and ceiling to see if any monsters were coming.

Saber was starting to feel apprehensive, she was using too much energy and feared she was hurting Bell. She is able to make the magic circulate through the body to improve performance a little, but it was not her area, so she spent a lot of energy to get little results, but at times against the dragons, she had to bet. Although she has no problem putting magic on the sword, which made her have a lot of headaches just trying to understand why.

While guaranteeing that he was not hurt except for a few tears in the clothes that she quickly mended with magic, he took a Mind potio and drank it, when he finished drinking Ais he joined her.

(Saber): "What was Ais?"

(Ais): "I wanted to thank you... for saving Lefiya."

(Saber): "We are in the same group, you don't need that."

(Ais): "Still... thank you."

Saber smiled and looked in the direction of the exit to Fifty-Ninth Floor.

(Ais): "...Do you feel something?"

(Saber): "Umu... you too? Like you're being called?"

Ais confirmed and looked at the exit as well, Saber was tempted to take the sword at the same time. Something down there was shaking her up, possibly the reason the <New Species> wanted to go there. She was sure the situation was going to get worse.

(Saber): "I'm sorry Praetor."

After resting, they made their way to the mysterious Fifty-Ninth Floor.

(Tiona): "...Who the heck said this was supposed to be cold? It's like a freking... jungle..." - she murmured while wiping the sweat on her forehead.

When they left the staircase, instead of seeing mountains of ice, they found a multitude of green plants that they had never seen before. At his feet was a field of green grass and in certain areas flowers with a poisonous appearance. That area was bigger than the previous floor and the walls were covered with plants, but they didn't know whether to celebrate or not.

(Lefiya): "This just like the |Twnty-Fourth Floor|..."

(Saber): "The plant monsters appeared there too, didn't they?"

Lefiya nodded.

(Bete): "...Can you guys hear that?"

It sounded like something chewing. A crumbling noise followed by an occasional high-pitched, trembling voice. As the mysterious noise continued, obscured deep within that dense jungle, all eyes of the frozen party went to their [Pallum] leader.

(Finn): "Forward."

The party continued moving immediately. Bete, Saber and Tiona took the lead as they made their way along the jungle's one road, almost like a pathway carved through the trees. Everyone's eyes shifeted back and forth from one tree to the next, keeping watch lest something spring forth lest they lose their minds.

A phosphorecent glow shone down on them from the ceiling some ten meters above their heads. This tiny glimpse of the |Dungeon| walls peeking out from so much green thickness was all they had to remind them that this strange floor was even in the same labyrinth they'd come to know. Time passed slowly as they continued through the trees, the ever-loudening sound in front of the drawing them forward.

Then, all of a sudden, the jungle disappeared around them to reveal barren ashland devoid of all green except for the mass of caterpillar monsters, which Saber learned were called <Virgas> from Ais and Lefiya when they were resting, and the plantlike <Violas>.

Standing in the center of it was something that looked like a feminine blob of fat and tentacles with a giant plantlike lower half in the shape of countless twisting roots. The <Virgas> and <Violas> around it were opening up their mouths and offering up their [Magic Stones] to the strange creature who fed upon them with vigor, reducing the monsters to ash after they were consumed.

(Tione): "Are all these monsters on the floor?" she whispered.

Saber looked at all the ash piles around the area wasn't natural and were in fact corpses of the monsters that already had been devoured. Then, Saber could fell it. The sudden gathering of magic toward a single point in the room.

(???): "Ah..."

The faintest noise rose from the creature's grotesque head as it raised its upper body. Only halfway through its feast on the surrounding monsters, it began to writhe like a worm.

(???): "Ahhhh..."

The repulsive-looking upper half still trembling and squirming, its flesh suddenly bulged as the most beautiful woman they'd ever seen was born, only Saber and Ais did not have that impression, emerging from all that ugliness like a butterfly from its cocoon.

(Woman): "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" - she scream with p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e.

As the others flinched and slammed their hands over their ears in the face of such a powerful scream, Saber and Ais remained standing as if they couldn't actually hear it, their eyes locked onto the creature. The creature, having risen from that husk of flesh, bent backward and directed her eyes to the heavens.

Long glossy hair descended along the curve of her back with a gown of brilliant colors covering her supple arms, her curvaceous c.h.e.s.t. The gorgeous face of the woman gazing up at the ceiling, still shuddering with p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e, could rival even a goddess's. She was green. Every inch of her, from her hair to her skin. Everything apart from her eyes, which were pools of gold that lacked pupils and irises. It wasn't only her upper, human half that changed, either. Her abnoremal lower half also underwent a transformation, now sporting enormous petals and a multitude of tentacles.

(Tiona): "W-what is that thing?" - she screamed, still covering her ears.

(Ais): "...A [Spirit]?" - she gasped as the creature turned its eyes towards them.

(Spirit): "Aria...! Aria!" - she spoke witha a voice filled with glee.

(Tiona): "A [Spirit]?! That freaky-looking thing?!" - she shouted in response to Ais's muttered words.

(Saber): "Umu... but something happened to that one..." - she replied without taking her eyes off the creature in front of her.

The [Spirits] had different levels. The low level ones, which were just balls of light with conscience, the intermediate ones, which had the shape of animals or plants, their power varied according to their size, and the high level ones, which had the human form, the less transparent their bodies were, the stronger they were.

But what was in front of her was like she was trying to be a human and a plant at the same time. It was almost as if she'd forgotten who she really was, wrapped up in her gwon of many colors and residing atop the colossal chassis of a monster. It was a strange combination of repugnant beauty and odious sanctity.

The group of [Adventurers] couldn't help but tremble as their were locked on the sight of the hauntingly, venomously beautiful creature. The party found themselves at a loss against the sheer dignity of the [Corrupted Spirit] and the overwhelming sense of aversion it engendered.

(Finn): "Those <New Species>... those <Violas> and <Virgas>... were they merely nore of that thing's tentacles?" - he narrowed his eyes at the some ten-meder aberrant standing before them.

It was a good guess, considering how the <Virgas> and <Violas> had focused their attacks on other monsters. Perhaps magic itself was the necessary energy for this creature to survive. Preying on monsters, collecting [Magic Stones], and finally returning her true form. They really were nothing but 'tentacles', extra appendages doing the [Spirit]'s dirty work. Across from Finn, she continued to laugh. Again and again she called out to them.

(Spirit): "Aria! Aria!" - her voice, almost childlike as if it had trouble forming the proper words - "I missed you! I missed you so much!"

Saber's firsts were opening and closing at a rapid speed, to call 'Aestus Estus', the Ais's breath hitched at any time.

(Spirit): "Don't you want to be together forever? Together with me and your [Hero]?"

Tiona's and the others' heads turned instantly toward Ais at the words. Lines of tension appeared across their faces as though they already had an idea of where this was heading.

(Spirit): "Won't you let me eat you both?"

Instantly, the remaining <Virgas> and <Violas> turned toward them with ferocious jerks, setting their sights on the [Adveturers], seemingly two of them in particular, as though the [Spirit] was using them to exert her will. At the same time, there was a thunderous boom from the direction of the exit as the opening closed up with green flesh.

(Finn): "Everyone, prepare for battle! Lefiya, aim for that thing! Everyone else, use the remaining 'Magic Swords' against the swarn! Saber prepare your sword!"

It was enough to stir them despite the confusion, and the party was unwavering despite their lost escape route. Saber regained consciousness and quickly summoned his sword and set it on fire. The [Spirit] in front of you almost hypnotized her for some reason, but thanks to |Goblet of Wealt|, she was not affected, but Ais was another story.

(Ais): "That thing... that thing..." - she muttered, while Saber picked her up and took her to the group.

(Saber): "Umu, I know! Riveria prepares a protection spell." - she shouted the second part.

The others didn't know why Saber would say that but Finn had a bad feeling and gave the same order.

(Finn): "Riveria, do what she says!"

Riveria didn't refute and just did what he said while Gareth, Tione, Bete and Tiona intercept the surge of monsters. The [Spirit] abnotmality smiled a heavenly smile at them and spoke.

(Spirit): "Arise, flames."

It chanted. With those simple words, a blood red light shone from the ground where a massive and ominous magic circle appeared. A monster was casting a spell. Something that was supposed to run on pure instinct had the capability of thought and the intelligence required of magic. Thanks to Saber, Riveria's protection caught them all, protecting from the creature's magic in front of her.

(Saber): "I'm going to end whoever created this <Quimera>." she shouted angrily when the barrier came down. She was outraged by that. Mixing living beings was something she detested, because either part died and the other assumed, or all parts lived in eternal suffering.

(Finn): "Everyone, fire at that thing!"

At that very moment Lefiya finished her chant.

(Lefiya): "FUSILLADE FALLARICA!"

But her magic never reached the [Spirit]. The lower half of the [Spirit] which contained large growths in the shape of massive flower petals simply curled around it and blocked the magic without any problems.

When the petals opened up again, the smile was twisted into an evil sneer. Not even Lefiya's tremendous firepower which had incinerated the <Wyverns> in one shot and hammered the <Valfang Dragons> into the ground could penetrate the [Spirit] 's shield.

(Spirit): "Dance, spirits of the air, keepers of the light!"

(Riveria): "Rage, rage, RAGE! Vortex of fire! The crimson wall! Hellfire's roar!"

Riveria's chant was matched alongside that of the [Spirit]'s.

(Spirit): "Forge thy pledge with the forest's protectors and envelop us in the psalm of the earth! Surround us!"

(Riveria): "May the ardor of the gale plunge the world into grief and misery! The sky shall burn! The earth shall ignite! The seas shall boil! The fonts shall churn! The mountains shall erupt! All life shall turn to ash! May the lives of the great ones serve as atonement for the coming choler and grief-!"

But even though they cahnted at the same time, the [Spirit] ability to chant was twice as fast as Riveria's.

(Spirit): "Your envoy beseeches you, Salamander! Incarnate of fire! Queen of flame-!

(Riveria): "Materialize, mighty barrier of forest's light, and legend us your protection. Mine name is Alf! Via Shilheim!" - with a wave of her hand, Riveria completed her chant and a jade-colored magic circle formed beneath Riveria's feet, the light gleaming before transfoming into a dome-like green structure and covered all the [Adventurers], like before.

Not a moment later, a small wisp of flame appeared in the [Spirit]'s hands and it moved as if to blow at like a candle, causing the flame to float outward and fall to the ground.

(Spirit): "Fire Storm!"

A massive inferno raged across the floor burning away everything in sight. The monsters. The jungle plants. All were turned to ash aside from the [Adventurers being shielded by Riveria. But the sound of despair came soon after.

Crack. A small splinter appeared on the dome that soon began to spread out like a spiderweb as the hellfire raged all around them.

(Riveria): "Gareth! Protect them -" - she screamed but the red boron passed her, shocking everyone present, simply wondering what was going through Saber's head.

The idea she had was pretty crazy. She wanted to use that fire against [Spirit] using her 'Aestus Estus'. If it didn't work, he was quite capable of |Unbeaten Spirit - Triple| not being able to save her, since there would only be ashes of it.

When the barrier broke, it caused 'Aestus Estus' to go up in flames, and began to spin, in the hope that the flames of his sword would 'catch' the flames of that magic.

And it worked, wherever the Saber passed, the flames swirled together, making a great whirlwind of flames. The others could only be impressed by that scene. The [Adventurers] behind her remained safe with that strategy of hers.

After getting close to [Spirit], Saber jumped, with the flames following her sword as if instead of holding a sword she was holding a whip and attacked [Spirit], who defended himself in the same way he defended himself from the magic of Lefiya, but this time, that shield failed to block the entire attack and part of it burned.

The [Spirit] screamed in pain and used one of his tentacles to hit Saber. She was thrown towards the ground, but managed to fall to her feet, but had to stick her sword in the ground in order to stop near the group.

(Tiona): "SABER!" - she went with her 'soul weapon in hand' to where Saber was.

The attack took effect, blood ran down one side of Saber's face and her hair came loose causing her blond hair to fall almost to her waist.

(Bete): "Can you do that again?" - he shouted because that method was very effective.

She couldn't do it unless it was another fire magic, but she doubted that [Spirit] would use another one again, and even if she did, she wasn't sure if she could do it again.

She would have to bet.

(Saber): 'I'm sorry, Praetor!'

(Saber): "Don't let her do another spell!" she shouted as she stood up.

The others didn't know what she had in mind, until she made a rose appear in her hand, put it close to her face and started a chant.

(Saber): "See my talent!" - she said while the image of her favorite stage came to her mind.

A red magic circle appeared under her feet and began to spin and shine. None of them imagined that she would have a spell but as she needed time they would. Laus Saint Claudius' song was a little longer before Hestia's blessing, but the words took longer to come to her mind now. But [Spirit] did not plan to give it a chance.

(Spirit): "M.o.a.n, might earth ..."

After that raging inferno, it was casting a completely new spell, one wuth a black magic circle this time.

(Spirit): "Rise, rise, RISE! Husk of eath! Sheen of iron! Hammer of the cosmos! May genesis's pact upheave rock and stone! The sky shall burn! The earth shall split!"

(Saber): "Hear the loud applause!"

The others attacked the [Spirit], to bury the chant, but the shield was doing a good job that none of them were able to pierce it.

(Spirit): "The bridge shall rise! Heaven and earth shall become one! May the axes of the ether rain down and bring about calamity's ruin!"

(Saber): "So praise!"

At that time, Finn made a lunge with his spear, but the petals blocked his attack again, but Tiona used the moment that the petals pushed Finn leaving an opening and launched his 'soul weapon', hitting with the part wired right into [Spirit's] shoulder, making him yell and become uncentered from the spell, and burst into flame due to the interrupted spell. Everyone covered their ears with that sound.

But Saber doesn't.

(Saber): "Golden theater!"

She raised her hand with the rose, which turned to light. Rose petals appeared around the Saber and she stuck her sword in the middle of the red circle. The petals spun faster and enveloped them all, making everyone close their eyes.

When they opened their eyes again, they were no longer on the |Fifty-Ninth Floor|. They were in a place where everything was golden and red. The entire floor and walls of that place were golden. The carpets, tapestries were red. The only plants present were roses. That place was quite overwhelming, but they were like a theater, despite being very different from what was in Orario.

Everyone looked at the Saber who took the sword out of the ground, which was on fire at the same time.

The [Spirit] looked at Ais.

(Spirit): "Ari... a..." - she croaked out in desperation, for the sword that was still housed in her and for the fact that she stopped in an unknown place.

(Ais): "I am not Aria. I don't know who you are. In the past, there were [Spirite] who helped the mortal races and their [Heroes], but they were lost in the |Dungeon| and turned into monsters." - she said staring at the monster, in her eyes she had a little pity.

Saber advanced on [Spirit] who was his opponent. Everyone moved away from him as Saber approached. Ais did the same but without taking his eyes off [Spirit] in front of her.

(Ais): "But I do know... that you shouldn't exist."

(Saber): "LAUS SAINT CLAUDIUS!"

Saber made only one cut, where she put the full potential of her 'Noble Phantasm'. Shortly after the cut, a pillar of fire appeared just below [Spirit], which the others thought was very close to what Saber used when she picked up [Spirit]'s magic to attack, burning it to just his ashes and the [Magic Stone].

After that, the theater started to shine, blinding all the members of [Loki Family], and when the light disappeared they were on the |Fifty-Ninth Floor| again. At that moment, the Saber sword disappeared and it collapsed.

(Saber): 'I won, Praetor...'- she thought with pride as her conscience disappeared and the others ran towards her.
