[🎉 Shoutout to Akile & Me3_3los for joining patreon. Thank you very much.🤗]

"Alicia!!!"

Ryuu roared in anger, her eyes burning with overwhelming fury, her tachi swinging with a sharp momentum towards the black Goliath.

"Good! Just like that! Let your anger burn, don't stop until you completely slay this damned Goliath!", Alicia also shouted loudly, then she yelled, "Freeze, Chains of Winter!"

As she chanted, a sharp icicle condensed from the void, gleaming with cold light, swiftly piercing into the arm of the black Goliath.

The black Goliath forcibly healed the severe injury on its leg, but such an action was not without cost. Its abilities had significantly declined, especially its defense; the once indestructible black hard skin was no longer as formidable.

Meanwhile, Ryuu and Alicia, due to the emotional outburst within them, had an unprecedented surge in their desire to attack. Their anger and fighting spirit intertwined, transforming into even more ferocious power.

Under these shifting dynamics, the offensive and defensive positions of the black Goliath and the two elven swordswomen were temporarily reversed.

And once suppressed by the strong offensive, the Goliath's massive body was no longer an advantage, but instead became a disadvantage exposing more vulnerabilities.

The black Goliath tried to reach out and grab Ryuu, but her agile figure was as flexible as the wind, deftly dodging, causing the giant's action to fail once again.

Ryuu took the opportunity to jump up, heavily stepping on one of its hands.

"Ahhhhh!!!", Ryuu let out a roar filled with killing intent, her tachi moving with her fury, as she slashed and quickly sprinted up along the thick arm of the black Goliath.

"ROAR!!", The giant roared in pain, but it was too late to stop. With fearless courage and swift speed, Ryuu charged to its head, her tachi fiercely stabbing into the right eye of the black Goliath, deeply penetrating into the flesh.

Black and crimson blood instantly gushed out, splattering all over Ryuu. The once elegant and wind-like elven ranger was now stained with black and red blood, looking ferocious like a brutal berserker.

"Well done!", Alicia took advantage of the Goliath's roar of pain to sever the tendon of its left foot.

She swung her sword with her right hand, while her left hand pulled an arrow from the quiver behind her, roughly stuffing it into the Goliath's wound.

Alicia crushed the wooden arrow shaft, letting the metal arrowhead and wood fragments deeply embed into the giant's flesh.

"(Elven expletive)! Heal now!! Let's see how you heal!!!"

At this moment, their hearts felt as if they were being burned by flames, as if what was beating in their chests was not a heart, but a fire, fueled by anger, self-blame, shame, hatred, and sorrow.

Ryuu shouted, "ALICIA! How big an icicle can you make!"

"What are you planning!"

"Ice can transmit light!"

"I understand!"

Alicia also roared, "FREEZE, CHAINS OF WINTER!"

All the magic power within her body poured out, ice crystals condensed in the air, forming a sharp and thick icicle.

This was the most powerful magic Alicia had ever released since becoming an adventurer.

Pushing her mental power to the limit, the fragile capillaries in her nasal cavity ruptured in large numbers, Alicia's beautiful face, stained with crimson blood, looked as ferocious as a demon.

"GO, IN!!!"

In Alicia's roar, the icicle thrust towards the giant's chest.

At this moment, a stone flew over, hitting the giant's temple directly, causing the black Goliath to fall into a brief dizziness.

Only for a moment, but enough to be fatal.

In the moment of the giant's dizziness, the sharp icicle pierced into its chest a short distance, and Ryuu landed on the icicle.

"—Now distant forest sky, infinite night sky studded with endless stars. Respond to the voice of a fool like me, grant me the protection of starlight once more, give light and mercy to those who have abandoned you.

—Come, wandering wind, traveling wanderer. Fly across the sky, gallop through the wilderness, travel with speed surpassing all things, contain the starlight to conquer the enemy."

"Luminous Wind!"

The wind and light dual-attribute magic erupted with full force, the gale pushing the icicle deeper, while light bullets actually entered the transparent and pure icicle.

"LUVIA!"

This is a special use of the magic [Luminous Wind], injecting a light bullet into the enemy's body and detonating it to cause higher damage.

But this time, what Ryuu injected was not just one light bullet, but all of them.

Through Alicia's [Ice Magic], all were injected into the black Goliath's body.

"EXPLODE!"

A huge explosion sounded within the giant's chest, the blood-covered elven swordswoman falling from the air.

"Damn it, just, a little more..."

Through the large hole in the black Goliath's chest, the huge black magic stone was already visible to the naked eye, even slightly cracked. If Alicia's icicle had pierced a little deeper, if her magic had been a bit more powerful—

Ryuu wasn't sure if she could get up again after falling to the ground, at this moment, she could only roar, "ALICIA!"

"I know!", Alicia raised her hand, trying to chant a spell, but the severe headache caused by mental exhaustion made her unable to make a sound for a moment.

"Proud warriors, archers of the forest... the encroaching plunderers are ahead... sob... take up, take up your bows.", Lefiya was struggling to chant, but from the first sentence, she had already made a mistake.

The chanting and release of magic require absolute precision and concentration, the elven girl's first chant had two pauses caused by sobs, even mixed with crying.

However, she did not stop this doomed-to-fail chant, but forcibly pushed it forward.

"Respond to the voice of your kin, nock your arrows and ignite the flames... the lights of the forest. Command you to shoot... the flaming arrows of the elves."

"Like rain falling, burn the barbarians!"

Fire attribute wide-area annihilation magic, [Barrage of Fire Spears]!

Ten fire spears flew past the fallen Ryuu, all piercing into the large hole in the giant's chest.

Then the next moment, flames flashed simultaneously within the Goliath's body and on Lefiya, who had lost control of her magic and self-detonated.

Lefiya rolled on the ground in a mess for dozens of rounds, with Haruhime's help, finally extinguishing the fire, and got up covered in dust.

Fortunately, the last spell she chanted was [Barrage of Fire Spears], the loss of control only caused self-ignition, if it had been [High Victory Sword] that lost control, Lefiya would have exploded into ashes along with the little fox beside her.

Barely standing up, enduring the pain of burns, Lefiya tremblingly opened her eyes, what presented before her was the standing Goliath, which had lost its "heart".

It stood motionless like a statue, with a large hole in its chest, through which the color of the wall behind and the shattered huge magic stone could be seen.

For any monster, the magic stone is its core, more important than the heart and brain, once the magic stone is damaged, the monster is undoubtedly dead.

"We, won..."

Lefiya said in a daze.

THUD—

Ryuu fell from the air, lying on the ground in a star shape, breathing heavily, her flat chest heaving violently.

Alicia sat down, also breathing heavily, but due to some individual differences, the heaving of her chest was much more obvious than Ryuu's.

Both elven swordswomen were covered in blood and dust.

Ryuu turned her head, glaring at Alicia, while Alicia smiled at her.

Looking at the scene before her, Lefiya shivered, "So scary!"

Now she didn't know whether the Goliath was scarier, or these two female elves of her own race were scarier.

In the latter half of the battle, starting from Emiya actively rushing to block other monsters, they had gone mad, their fighting style completely shifting from swordsmen to berserkers, recklessly charging at the black Goliath.

And this fighting style actually suppressed the giant, as the battle progressed, the wounds on the black Goliath's body increased, while the two elves seemed to have endless stamina and mental power, casting spells desperately.

"[Gale], as expected of you!"

Alicia said, "Among all the second-tier adventurers I've seen, your strength is the strongest."

Magic, swordsmanship, each taken alone is top-notch, and proficient in simultaneous use of both abilities, parallel chanting.

"...You, are also very strong.", Ryuu responded honestly.

Alicia's configuration is actually similar to hers, a versatile hand in both magic and swordsmanship, and Alicia has an additional archery skill.

Her magic is much less powerful than [Luminous Wind], however, short chant magic is rarer than long chant magic, and Alicia's magic has extremely strong flexibility and functionality.

Regarding Ryuu's evaluation, Alicia gently shook her head, it's precisely because their fighting styles are similar that she can more clearly feel the gap in talent, Alicia is a much older and experienced adventurer than Ryuu, but now she has already been caught up to and even surpassed by Ryuu.

"How is Shirou, how is he..."

After resting for less than a minute, Alicia barely stood up, "That child, really has a 'magical' skill..."

Thinking this, Alicia's face gradually turned red, hearing Alicia's muttering, Ryuu also started to blush.

Fortunately, both elves were now dirty, their originally fair and pretty faces covered in dust and monster's blood, so even if they were shy, it wouldn't show.

"Lord Emiya, hasn't woken up yet..."

It was Haruhime who spoke, she placed Emiya on her lap, her eyes filled with tears.

"—Shirou."

Ryuu struggled to stand up, her injuries were more severe than Alicia's, and her magic consumption was also greater, speaking was a bit difficult.

"Do we have any potions left, whether healing potions or mental elixirs..."

Alicia walked over to the boy, "Shirou's breathing is very weak, we must treat him quickly!"

Haruhime sobbed and shook her head.

"Is that so, no choice then, I'll give it a try."

Alicia lowered her head, kissing the boy's lips.

Lefiya: ?

Haruhime: ?

Ryuu was the most shocked: "ALICIA?"

"I think, Shirou should have a skill that 'greatly increases ability values when kissing a female elf'."

Alicia raised her head, stating her judgment, then lowered her head again, seriously saying, "So, I'm saving Shirou!"

[Skill [Elf Hunter]

After intimate contact with a female elf, all abilities are super-domain enhanced, magic and skill effects are super-domain enhanced.

The skill effect increases based on the number and intimacy level of female elves]

——The above is Alicia's reasonable speculation.

Alicia: 'A very reasonable guess, right?'

Ryuu: '...Right, right?'

It seems indeed so, Emiya is very likely to have such a skill, and if the ability values are increased, it can indeed improve the survival rate.

"So, so that's how it is, I'll do it too!"

Ryuu suddenly realized, and also walked over.

"Lefiya, can you still use healing magic."

Alicia lowered her head, speaking in a muffled tone, "First, treat Shirou."

"Yes, yes."
