Damn, what did he see!
The Goliath, which they'd needed nurous magic swords, massive siege equipnt, a dozen Level 3s, and many Level 2s to defeat, was now a battered, bloody ss, letting out shrill, pitiful howls.
The others shared Bors' shock and thoughts.
Before them, Goliath, the 17th floor's monster rex, was being pumled by a fusion magic blending various spells.
The magic's power was imnse, enough to wound Goliath.
His body bore nurous injuries from the bombardnt, alongside cuts from bladed weapons, fist marks nearly the size of a human head, and wounds from strikes.
Looking at the Hestia Familia's combatants darting across the battlefield, Bors and the others instantly understood the wounds' origins.
The cuts ca from Lili and other blade-wielding mbers.
The fist marks could only be Tifa's, who fought with her fists.
How Tifa produced such massive marks was a mystery—until they saw.
When Tifa struck, magical fluctuations emanated from her hands.
Her punch landed, and a huge fist mark appeared on Goliath's body.
The stick marks, though, puzzled Bors as he watched Aerith swing a long staff with vigor, despite her ladylike deanor.
How did this girl manage it? Tough yet delicate.
But recalling Aerith's war ga feat three days ago—smashing people with one swing—Bors dismissed "delicate" from her description.
Who calls such a fierce girl delicate?
Yet this wasn't what stunned Bors most.
What truly shocked him was another sight.
Goliath was clearly targeting the Hestia Familia's magic team.
Though their fusion magic was powerful and injured Goliath, it lacked strong blocking force.
What pinned Goliath was another power—aerial magic.
The magic blasted Goliath's upper body, while a fierce wind gripped his legs, its terrifying force evident even from a glance.
This wind halted Goliath's advance, allowing only a single strained step.
Bors and the others turned instinctively toward the source.
There, Senie stood, one hand on her hip, the other pointed at Goliath, utterly relaxed.
A powerful wind swirled around her, spinning ceaselessly.
Anyone with eyes could see Senie unleashed the wind restraining Goliath.
Bors and the others were dumbfounded.
Who was this queen of the Hestia Familia with such terrifying power?
Another shrill roar from Goliath rang out.
The magic bombarding him ceased, as Eina and the others' spell had ended, requiring a new chant to continue.
Realizing he couldn't reach Elenoir and the mages, and with their magic gone, Goliath's limited intellect made him shift targets to Lili and the lee fighters wounding him.
Bors and the others, previously fixated on the mages, now focused on Lili and the lee team.
They were stunned again.
The Hestia Familia's lee adventurers glowed faintly with magic, moving at terrifying speeds—so as afterimages—darting around Goliath, exploiting his weaknesses to inflict new wounds.
Ten lee fighters attacked from all sides, leaving Goliath unable to retaliate.
Each ti Goliath tried to strike back at an attacker, another hit landed elsewhere.
Goliath was overwheld, unable to counter effectively.
Even when he managed a strike, Lili and the others deflected it, minimizing damage.
Senie's aerial magic further restricted Goliath's movents, making him a plaything for the lee team.
Bors knew his own team couldn't fight so cleanly.
They approached Goliath with caution, extensive preparation, and ample supplies, never daring to treat it so casually.
He wondered if it was his imagination, but the Hestia Familia's lee fighters seed to wield Level 2 strength, with Lili and Tifa nearing Level 3—close to his own.
The battle didn't last long. Elenoir and the mages' fusion magic returned.
Its terrifying firepower tore a massive wound in Goliath, prompting another roar.
The long-range fusion magic dealt the heaviest blows, outstripping even Lili's relentless lee attacks.
Watching the battle, Bors and his group stood dazed.
The Hestia Familia's lee fighters ran with confident smiles.
The mages, orderly and solemn, wielded wands, unleashing powerful magic to bombard Goliath head-on.
Senie, standing alone, effortlessly pinned Goliath with her wind.
A thought struck Bors, his breath quickening.
As underdogs, they treated monsters like lambs to slaughter, forging legendary heroic tales for their Familia!
