All My Summons Become Divine Girls

Chapter 258: Three Wings, One Opening

The three points behind Juna unfolded together, filling the road with pale-gold light as each Wing reached its full span.

Solar Vanguard markings crossed her shoulders plus throat, turning every line across her arms brighter than the corruption above them.

Hajin felt her output rise through their bond before Aria placed both summon counters near the apex route.

[ Juna Wing Progress: 2,680,000 / 7,500,000 ]

[ Loccy Wing Progress: 1,420,000 / 1,500,000 ]

The apex charged first, keeping its repaired head low while six hounds ran beneath the winged brood.

Juna watched the road behind it instead of meeting the larger body, finding Vella’s frames still crossing the irrigation ditch.

"I need the air," she said, lowering both hands as her claws gathered gold, "keep its head away from the carts."

"Take it," Hajin replied, tightening the Chain around his ground anchor, "I have the mouth until Hans clears the road."

He drew Aegis across the apex’s left side, denying the direct path without stopping its forward weight.

The creature corrected toward Hajin, carrying the ground pack closer to Loccy while the airborne formation continued above Juna.

Three Wings lifted her from the road in one stroke, placing her above the convoy before the first flyer crossed.

The brood separated around her approach, with half climbing toward the cloud cover as the others dropped toward Vella.

Juna did not follow either group, holding her position until both turns aligned over the eastern ridge.

Every winged body crossed the same narrow section for one moment, filling the space above a ledge already covered in nests.

Gold reached the ends of her claws while the markings at her throat tightened into one line.

She pulled both hands across the formation, releasing a single cut across the occupied slope.

The front bodies opened before their wings changed direction, carrying the same line through everything behind them.

It entered the ridge above the last flyer, cutting through the ledge plus every nest attached beneath it.

Half the ridge slid into the empty ravine, taking the surviving brood away from the clinic lane before they recovered.

Juna folded her Wings against the falling stone, using their force to remain above the road without chasing anything down.

[ Summon Juna gained: 500,000 EXP ]

[ Juna Wing Progress: 3,180,000 / 7,500,000 ]

The apex tried turning toward her landing, though Hajin shortened the Chain before its front legs left Aegis.

Its weight dragged the anchor through the road until both Rings around his right wrist stuttered in rotation.

He released one pace instead of letting the Chain pull across Vella’s frames, keeping the creature inside the broken marker.

Loccy opened both Wings as the hounds passed her, placing the hammer head against the road without swinging yet.

Two burrowers followed beneath them, lifting the surface where Hans’s barrier team had stood moments earlier.

"Wait until they cross the crack," Hajin said, tracking both bodies through Divine Eye, "the lower tunnel still reaches the ditch."

Loccy shifted one foot toward the portal, letting four hounds enter the section between her hammer and the ravine.

The remaining pack followed their corruption line instead of spreading, placing every ground body above the same tunnel.

Her hammer struck the ravine edge after the last tail crossed, driving one pale-gold break beneath the entire group.

The buried passage lost both walls at once, swallowing the hounds before either burrower could reach the surface.

Loccy hit the exposed plate of the first burrower during its fall, sending it through the second before the ravine closed over them.

The impact stopped beside Hajin’s anchor, leaving the irrigation ditch plus clinic route untouched behind her feet.

[ Summon Loccy gained: 300,000 EXP ]

[ Evolution Progress: 2 Wings ➔ 3 Wings — Complete ]

[ Summon Loccy has evolved into 3 Wings ]

[ Base Multiplier increased: 2.0x ➔ 3.0x ]

[ Loccy Wing Progress: 220,000 / 7,500,000 ]

Her existing Wings widened while a third opened between them, broad pale-gold power crossed by dark fault lines.

Two insignia rings brightened around the hammer head before a third locked into place between them.

Loccy stared at the weapon for half a second, then looked toward the apex as another panel entered Hajin’s sight.

[ Unique Skill Acquired: Burdenfall ]

[ Stores recoil from a blocked or survived impact ]

[ Releases stored force through one bounded stretch of connected terrain ]

"That explanation needs work," Aria said, tracing the skill through Loccy’s bond, "she chooses where the connected section ends before release."

"Tell her before she tests it on the road," Hajin replied, bracing as the apex pulled against Aegis again.

Loccy’s ears turned toward him before Aria finished carrying the skill limits through their shared connection.

"I know where it stops," she said, planting both feet across the cracked marker, "keep the frames behind me."

The apex received another pulse from the mother, restoring the plate Juna’s falling ridge had struck from above.

Its four legs compressed beneath the body, then released everything toward Loccy before Hajin could redirect the head.

He kept Aegis along its right flank, narrowing the charge so nothing could turn toward Vella during impact.

Loccy met the skull with her hammer across both hands, opening all three Wings when the root armor reached her. The collision drove her feet through the road until her ankles disappeared, but no force crossed the line behind them.

Dark fault lines spread across the third Wing as the hammer’s insignia rings pulled the impact away from her shoulders.

[ Burdenfall: Impact Stored ]

[ Valid Release Surface: Connected Road — 39 Paces ]

The apex pushed again against the same failing angle that had let it reach Elise plus Sable.

Loccy bent beneath the hammer shaft, then stepped out of the holes without giving up one pace.

She turned the weapon under its jaw as both feet settled beside the boundary she had chosen.

"Go back," she said, driving the hammer into the road beneath its front legs, "we still have people here."

Every stored piece of the charge traveled away from the clinic line, breaking the connected road toward the portal.

The surface rose beneath the apex in one advancing wave, carrying its legs upward before the hammer caught its jaw.

Root armor split around its throat as the strike threw the entire body across the ravine entrance.

It hit beside the opaque surface, crushing the remaining hounds beneath its rear legs before rolling toward the Gate.

Loccy tried lifting the hammer again, but both arms hung from her shoulders without answering the first pull.

The third Wing remained open behind her while its fault lines lost their gold at the edges.

"My fingers still close," she said, trapping the shaft against her side, "I cannot lift either arm yet."

Juna landed beside her with all three Wings active, watching the apex drag itself toward the portal.

She could reach its damaged throat before another mother pulse arrived, though the last clinic cart remained behind them.

Neither woman crossed the broken marker while Hans’s team carried the final frame through the irrigation cut.

Hajin held Aegis over their retreat, keeping his Chain anchored until the wagon’s rear wheel reached the town road.

Vella released the cart after it crossed, then turned toward the purple tethers with violet mana covering her bloodied hands.
