"Dirty humans. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info" The fire demon's low roar resounded through the corridors, "You can't escape! ”

It raised its right arm, and its magic whirlpooled into a furious vortex—a summoning spell. The spell opened a passage between the material realm and the inner realm, and the solid matter from the earth elemental realm was compressed, and then mixed with the powerful energy of the fire elemental realm to construct a powerful bomb. The pure magic from the fire elemental realm all over the palace and even here further strengthened the power of this spell.

"Stop it, Alphonse!" Yuffie shouted.

She tried her best to erect a wall of ice between the two sides, but that wasn't enough. A meteorite roared out of the whirlpool, burning with blazing white flames, easily shattering her ice walls unscathed.

The Mechanic raised his arm, his body flashing with a blinding arc of electricity—a phenomenon caused by an overload of the Mana Furnace. Then he waved his arms, and four pale blue walls of force fields appeared one after another, blocking between everyone and the fire demon.

The meteorite was wrapped in thousands of degrees of heat, and it struck with the momentum of thunder, bombarding the force field set by the organists.

The violent impact detonated the already unstable meteorite. Yuffie quickly closed her eyes, but she could still see the blazing flames piercing her eyelids, turning her eyes into pure white. The ground trembled beneath her feet, a thunderous roar drowned out all the rest of the sound, and she couldn't be sure if Alphonse's spell was still in effect, only that it wasn't over yet—

The second meteorite followed, followed by the third, and then the fourth.

The roar of the explosions was continuous, and the girl tried to make out how many times it was now, but the loud noise almost destroyed her hearing, and only a chaotic rustle was left in her ears.

She felt that Lin suddenly increased her speed, and in the next moment, a violent impact that came first and flew the two people directly out. She faintly heard Lynn's exclamations and the sound of something falling to the ground.

The hot wind swept across her cheeks, causing a burning pain. Whizzing rock debris cut through her skin, dust and ash making it almost impossible for her to breathe. With her instincts, she pressed her hand to the ground and chanted the incantation as fast as she could, closing the hallway between the two sides.

The spell seemed to work, the hot wind and sand waned, and she heard the firefiend roar of rage. Eyesight regained a little, and the girl got up, trying to see the mess in front of her.

The violent explosion shook the rocks on the ground, turning them into debris. The debris was then swept away by the air waves, leaving a charred crater. This was only the end of the explosion, and the corridor closer to the end of the Firedemon was almost completely shattered, revealing the primordial rock formation behind it - allowing Yuffie to quickly change the terrain and temporarily trap the Firedemon on the opposite side.

Fortunately, the force field of the machine man stopped several meteorites in front of him, and absorbed part of the power of the last one. Otherwise, as long as one of them explodes around them, the consequences may be unpredictable. And the sturdy structure built by the wizards prevented the entire underground facility from collapsing due to the explosion.

The girl looked around. Lin and the others in front of her also got up, their faces covered in blood and sand looking very embarrassed, but not too badly injured. Alphonse was half-kneeling on the ground, the light in his eyes dim and flickering, as if it was about to be extinguished in the next moment.

"Magic...... Overload. He made an intermittent sound, "Need ...... Time. ”

"Lynn, you take Al and keep going!" The girl cried out - her hearing had not yet fully recovered. Then she flicked her fingers, and a pair of white wings spread out from behind her back, "Hurry up, that obstacle won't stop the fire demon for long!" ”

Lynn did as she was told. Mithril's body isn't heavy, at least with the strength of a blonde girl, it can be easily lifted. The exploration team turns around the corner to the left, and the end seems to be in sight.

The Fire Demon's roar came from behind him, and both attacks failed to make a difference, seemingly completely enraging it. Its red, flaming eyes flashed, and Yuffie felt the momentum of his flight, and then was jerked backwards by an invisible force, rushing towards the fire demon like a cannonball.

It all happened so fast that the girl didn't have time to cast any spells. She barely turned her head and saw the fire demon raise the blade in his hand and aim it at her head—

Qingyue's chirp suddenly sounded. Two vines sped across the girl, one of them wrapping around her body, fighting against the invisible tug. The other was between her and the demon, instantly forming an intertwined emerald green wall - perhaps because the view was blocked, the power to hold the girl was instantly reduced a lot.

Yuffie immediately understood what it was. The summoning spell couldn't have been so fast, it was Eskar's natural incarnation, her other form other than the goshawk.

"I must live!" The vines threw her forward with force, accompanied by Eskar's words from a telepathic link, "Tranquility Forest, please, don't let these demons pollute our home—"

The barb-covered whip slammed into the wall of vines, followed by the lightning-sharp blade, and the sound stopped abruptly.

Meanwhile, at the forefront of the squad, Lily swung her greatsword and slashed open the door at the end of the hallway.

Yuffie didn't look back. Even with many unspeakable thoughts swirling in my mind, there is only one thing to do now. Praying that Misara's instructions were correct, she flew into the room as fast as she could, turning her head to see the "first product" standing on the side of the room.

It was a flawless flat mirror, made entirely of crystal, with a rainbow-like sheen. Approximately two meters tall, it is set in a delicately carved wooden frame with countless tiny and delicate magical runes engraved on the edges of the frame, reflecting a beautiful golden color in the soft light.

The rest of the people rushed into the room one after another, and Lynn was the last to arrive with the machine man in her arms and stand beside her.

"Remember where we're going." Yuffie said quickly and calmly, "We want to meet someone who can help us defeat the Firefiend and relieve the Breeze Forest crisis." She quickly looked around at the group, "Hold on to this idea, and put the rest of the questions to a later date - are you ready?" ”

Everyone nodded. Alphons' eyes flickered three times, indicating that there was no problem.

Yuffie took a light breath and recited the incantation that activated the magic device, following Mishara's instructions.

"I petition you with sincerity and inquiry, and connect us with the door of truth and desire—"

The mirror makes a slight vibration. The seven-colored luster spreads out in all directions, revealing a void that seems to rotate inward, with no end in sight. Countless silvery starlights flew through the hollow, emerging from the edge and disappearing into the center.

Lily was the first to try to step in, and the mirror rippled like water, engulfing the mercenary's body. Then came Udina, Amberly, Bale, and Alphonse.

The blonde girl turned around and took the girl's hand. The mirror is wide enough for two people to walk into it side by side.

Her last impression was the approaching roar of the fire demon - and with it, everything was gone.
