    <wyvern pass=""> </wyvern>


    Fasit stood at the front lines of the battle, her voluptuous figure adorned in her usual attire that hugged her every curve.


    "Watch this," she said to Mimosa, a mischievous glint in her eyes.


    She extended her palm and created a sphere of me, casually tossing it into the sky.


    The sphere exploded in a spiral column of fire, engulfing the area in front of them in a massive inferno.


    The heat of 3000°C was unleashed upon the 120 minotaurs who had dared to challenge the might of the Grygans.


    They screamed and howled in pain and anguish, their bodies burned and charred beyond recognition.


    Fasit''s sadistic yet sexy expression was one of pure pleasure, her lips curling into ascivious smile as she basked in the destruction she had wrought.


    "This is too easy," she said, twirling a strand of her fiery hair between her fingers.


    Mimosa looked at Fasit with concern. "Fasit, please calm down a bit," she pleaded.


    But Fasit onlyughed. "Why should I? We''re having fun here, destroying these filthy minotaurs."


    She looked up at the sky, a look of reverence appearing on her countenance. "Thank you, Lord Lumiere, for granting us this incredible power."


    The st sent nearby rock formations and minotaurs alike flying away, scattering them across the Wyvern Pass.


    The screams of the minotaurs echoed across the battlefield, a haunting reminder of the power of the Grygans and their allies.


    Serena made her way deeper into the frontlines, well out of sight and out of contact with Fasit and Mimosa. She raised her weapon, <<fortune''s edge="">> and instructed her party to form a defensive line. "We''ll hold the line here," she said to Mojito. "Let''s not lose focus." </fortune''s>


    Mojito chuckled and nodded. "Got it. We''ll make sure they don''t get past us."


    ...


    Serena couldn''t help but chuckle a little at the thought of Fasit getting aroused by causing pain to the minotaurs. "Who knew Fasit was into that kind of thing?" she remarked.


    Mojito grinned slyly. "It takes all kinds, doesn''t it?"


    As they focused on holding the line, Hargeeth''s irritation was clear. "This is ridiculous," he growled. "How are we supposed to fight against such power?"


    Serena raised an eyebrow. "You can''t... because you''re up against the Crimson Witch - Fasit Del Silva. She''s incredibly powerful."


    ...


    Meanwhile, from beyond the battlefield, Lumiere could sense the intensity of their powers.


    He sighed as he rode on his horse. "Those Grygans are quite something," he said to himself. "I can even feel the explosions Fasit caused from here."


    He couldn''t help but feel a bit jealous of Fasit''s skill in [Fire Magic]. "She''s surpassed me in that regard," he grumbled.


    Lumiere wore a dark-colored mage''s uniform,plete with a white dress shirt, gloves, and dark pants. He also had greaves with poleyn and boots, as well as a pauldron and spaulder on each shoulder.


    ...


    Hargeeth pointed his axe at Serena and the people behind her, a deep frown on his face. "Do you honestly believe you stand a chance against us? Your little party tricks are nothingpared to our power," he sneered.


    A look of disgust on his face. "That vige chief of yours... he''s the cause of all these problems! He''s nothing but a useless cretin. He could never aplish anything against superior creatures like us."


    Serena''s eyes zed with anger at Hargeeth''s insulting words.


    "How dare you insult my fiancé and the one who holds my heart," she spat back at him.


    In an instant, she activated [Mana Pressure], her body releasing a surge of energy that felt like a raging storm.


    The minotaurs in the army were suddenly pushed down as if a heavy gravity was bearing down upon them.


    Some of them even panicked and started running in random directions, colliding with each other as a result.


    With a fierce determination, Serena flew above them all, her grip on <<fortune''s edge="">> tightening. </fortune''s>


    「[Mana Pressure] is a powerful ability that allows the user to release a surge of mana, creating a high-pressure field that affects everything within its range. It''s a form of advanced magic that can be used to control and manipte the natural forces in the environment, including gravity, air pressure, and energy.


    When activated, a user of [Mana Pressure] can exert tremendous pressure on their surroundings, allowing them to knock back enemies, push back objects, or even create small explosions. This ability requires a high-level of mana control and concentration, as excessive use can lead to severe exhaustion and even injury.


    Note: A strong [Mana Pressure] is a reflection of the user''s mana capacity.」


    Lumiere, who was outside the battlefield, felt the intensity of Serena''s [Mana Pressure].


    The horse he rode on panicked and crashed to the ground, sending Lumiere tumbling off its back.


    He could feel the skies darkening as Serena''s power coursed through him. Hey on the ground, dazed, and muttered to himself, "Note to self: never piss off Serena."


    On the battlefield, tension and suspense filled the air as the minotaurs struggled to regain their footing.


    Hargeeth narrowed his eyes at Serena, his anger evident. "You''ll pay for that," he growled.


    Serena nced at Hargeeth, assessing the situation and knowing he posed no threat to her.


    Her eyes shed with power as she felt the flow of mana around her. "You made a mistake by underestimating me, Hargeeth," she said, a dangerous edge to her voice.


    Her wings unfurled, expanding in size, and her horns curved even more.


    Her minor transmogrification was a warning to Hargeeth, but he tried to order the minotaurs to hold up their shields.


    Before he could finish the order, however, he froze under the intensity of Serena''s [Mana Pressure] attack. "Toote," Serena muttered, tightening her grip on her sword.


    As she swung her sword, the entire area was bathed in a bright light.


    The earth shook, and thunder rumbled as Serena''s attack connected with the heavens.


    The destructive force of her attack was magnified by [Armament Enhancement] and [Holy Magic], which multiplied its power and turned it into a widearea attack.


    Serena dubbed it, 「Heavens'' Crash」.


    In an instant, 200 minotaurs were vaporized, their flesh burnt beyond recognition and smoking.


    It was a scene of destruction unlike any other.


    The sheer magnitude of the attack was awe-inspiring, and Serena had emerged from it unscathed. The same couldn''t be said for the minotaurs who had foolishly challenged her.


    "That was incredible, Lady Serena.." Mojito eximed, his eyes wide with amazement.


    Serena smiled, though her expression was tinged with exhaustion. "It was nothing," she replied, her voice barely above a whisper. "Just a little trick I picked up along the way." But they all knew better.


    She was a force to be reckoned with, and her [Mana Pressure] attack had just proven that once again.


    ...


    Some minutes went by and Lumiere finally made it to the Wyvern Pass, immediately, he met with Fasit and Mimosa.


    Mimosa helped heal the wounded with [Herb''s Paradise] and [Water Magic]. Luckily, their wounds weren''t anything fatal.


    Hargeeth did quite a number on them, but Serena made him pay for it with his life.


    As the battle raged on, Fasit''s devastating attacks left no corpses, only ashes of the minotaurs she had in. "This is no fun," Lumiereined as he assisted Mimosa with healing the wounded grygans. "I wanted to do some fighting too!"


    "Ha-ha, Lord Lumiere you just can''t get enough of the action," Mimosa teased. "But don''t worry, we need you here to help."


    Suddenly, Fasit approached them and stated, "I will advance forward and handle the Minotaur Lord."


    Lumiere smirked, thinking he didn''t want to get in the way of Fasit''s attacks. "Sure thing, Fasit. You''re the Crimson Witch after all."


    Fasit strode forward, facing about thirty minotaurs. She formed another sphere of fire and projected it towards them indifferently. The small orb of fire detonated, turning into a massive column of mes that consumed all the minotaurs before her.


    Lumiere watched in awe, his eyebrows twitching. "Wow, Fasit is really strong. I guess Serena isn''t the only one we don''t want to piss off. Fasit is just as scary."


    Mimosa giggled at Lumiere''s words, but they both knew that the magnitude of Fasit''s powers was noughing matter.
