Relying on Futsunomitama's gravity magic to restrain it, the Fire Giant, whose limbs were already damaged, had its movements restricted even further.
But—
That did not mean the Floor Boss before them had lost the ability to fight back!
"We still have to be careful."
Ron did not rush forward recklessly.
Since he had chosen to keep self-destructing, using the Ashen One's save-state ability to squeeze out his body's Power Within, then of course he needed to find the right opportunity.
And up ahead, in the distance, he watched those two figures—the Amazoness girls moving swiftly across the battlefield, their speed not dropping in the slightest despite the presence of the gravity field.
Tione and Tiona's strength was beyond question.
At around the same age, they had become Level 5 adventurers through their own talent alone, without cheating. There was no need to say anything more about their gifts.
It was just that, their combat style, compared with the technique represented by the war god Takemikazuchi, was more like something honed through endless life-and-death battles. Their movements had no wasted motion, nor could they be described as flashy.
Their goal was extremely clear.
To deal the highest possible damage as quickly as possible!
"Hm..."
"I can't just keep watching either!"
After Revival was successfully activated, Ron's combat condition returned to its peak once more. Not only his stamina, but even his reserves of Magic Power had been fully restored.
Looking at the Fire Giant as it entered its new phase, at that massive single eye embedded in the Fire Giant's chest, its pupil pattern looked like flowing magma, as though filled with the wickedness of an evil god.
He tightened his grip around the Gravel Stone Seal in his palm.
No chant was needed.
A crest formed from Magic Power, symbolizing ancient dragon faith, appeared in Ron's palm, as leaping red lightning continued to gather.
Finally, under his guidance, it transformed into a long spear forged from crimson fire-lightning.
"..."
Whoosh!
Red lightning pierced the air, exploding with a brilliance like rising fireworks.
With Ron's full-force throw, that Ancient Dragon Lightning Spear shot toward the huge single eye on the Fire Giant's chest and struck it with pinpoint accuracy.
Even though it had reacted in advance, and the Floor Boss had already prepared a countermeasure, the slowly closing eye still could not keep up with the speed of that Ancient Dragon Lightning Spear.
Boom!!
The instant it made contact, a violent explosion erupted.
The Fire Giant, whose body was already extremely bloated and weighed down by an even stronger gravity spell, nearly lost its balance. Its flesh was blasted apart by the lightning spear.
Dark-red, viscous blood began to pour out.
The ancient dragon incantation's assault made the Floor Boss roar in pain once again, but in this situation, it could not make any effective counterattack.
'Good chance...'
It was not Lefiya's Arcs Ray.
This was probably one of Ron's hidden cards that he had not shown before, but at a time like this, Tiona had no spare time to think. All she knew was that this was their chance to attack.
As she closed in on the Fire Giant, the evil god's flames dripping from the twin mouths in the Floor Boss's abdominal cavity continued to give off scorching heat where they fell to the ground.
However, thanks to the magical support from Daphne, an adventurer of the Hestia Familia, the defensive shield formed around her body, glowing like the radiance of a laurel tree, greatly eased the discomfort it caused her.
Attack the Fire Giant's torso directly?
That was obviously unrealistic!
She focused all her attention on the Floor Boss's two hands braced against the ground. In this situation, of course she had to attack the enemy's weakness.
She didn't use magic.
First of all—Tiona simply couldn't.
The girl's combat style was simple and direct. Her expression turned solemn as she gripped her massive twin blades tightly and decisively swung them with full force at the Fire Giant's arm.
Pshh!
As a First-Class weapon, with her going all out without any hesitation, it easily broke through the Floor Boss Fire Giant's thick skin, and blood gushed out instantly.
It worked!
At the very least, it didn't feel like striking the hardened crystalline shell on the back of a Crystal Lizard.
If it could break through the defense... then, under the severe restriction imposed by this layer of gravity magic, the Fire Giant in front of them was nothing more than a large, living target—nothing more.
Tiona's attack frequency was extremely high.
Almost every strike left a shocking wound in the Floor Boss's arm, with dark-red blood continuously flowing out.
As for the other side of the battlefield—
Seeing her younger sister fighting this desperately, Tione naturally couldn't hold back either. Compared to Tiona's wide, heavy swings, her First-Class weapon, the short blade—Zolas—was destined for a fast-attack combat style when dealing with a Floor Boss.
The tan-skinned girl moved with remarkable agility. Even within Futsunomitama's gravity field, Tione kept adjusting her positioning, seeking a better angle for attack.
But at that moment—it seemed the pain had reached its limit. The towering Fire Giant before them had abandoned the idea of forcibly enduring the gravity magic.
It planted both hands on the ground, forcing its upper body upright as much as possible.
Immediately after, a massive spherical spell formed out of the evil god's flames beside the Floor Boss, radiating a terrifying heatwave.
Not only that, the giant mouth located in the Fire Giant's abdomen began erupting like a volcano, continuously spreading those evil flames across the ground, trying to engulf the entire Boss room in a sea of fire.
"This is…"
As the heatwave swept over her, Tione could clearly feel the tips of her hair curling, and her bare feet, stepping directly on the ground without shoes, were burning hot.
This bastard is playing dirty!!
She pressed her already cracked lips together, her gaze locked firmly onto that condensing sphere of evil flame—but what happened next made her pupils shrink sharply.
It wasn't attacking directly...
Instead, it split into an uncountable number of fire projectiles, surging toward her position. There was no way she could take that head-on!
"..."
She decisively pulled back to a safe distance, giving her body a brief chance to recover!
But—in the area ahead where her younger sister was, the flames spreading from the Fire Giant's abdominal cavity to the ground had already formed an impenetrable barrier.
Tione could only vaguely see that blurred figure fighting within.
"This idiot…"
"How can she get carried away while we're fighting a Floor Boss?!"
"…"
That crimson flame, far fiercer than any furnace or campfire, seemed to carry an ominous aura. Even if the body could endure it head-on, it would definitely cause irreversible damage!
Tione cursed under her breath. She knew her sister's tendency to get carried away in battle—but in a situation like this, she couldn't just leave her alone.
With that thought, the girl clenched her teeth, preparing to go in for a rescue—when, from the corner of her eye, she caught sight of a familiar figure rushing toward the sea of flames at incredible speed.
That figure—charging straight into the Fire Giant's sea-of-fire assault without the slightest hesitation—was something Tiona would never forget for the rest of her life.
'Ron.'
This guy—he really stakes his life in every single battle. And this time, his target… was her little sister?!
