However, it seems that although the head is a weak point of the Abyss Worm, it only causes a certain delay in its movements after being attacked. Trying to eliminate it directly based on this is still wishful thinking. Moreover, the three hastily thrown spears only penetrated the shell by less than half a meter, not even reaching the true internal parts of the worm.
Immediately after, it abandoned Sigrid, who was entangled with it, and its sinister pupils instantly locked onto Dorina and the two others attacking from high in the sky. Dozens of pairs of wings all over its body spread out simultaneously, intending to soar into the air!
“Yo, such an ugly thing dares to glare at us? Hit it a few more times! Don’t throw those small stones, use third-tier magic!”
“Ah?! Okay, okay!”
The wizard, whose brain had fallen into a semi-crashed state and couldn’t fully comprehend what was happening, instinctively, relying on her intuition and guided by the intoxicating scent and warmth emanating from the girl who was very close, almost leaning half her body to grab her hand, activated a more powerful skill.
“Starfire Spell!”
A spark in the air enlarged, instantly differentiating into more than ten clusters of meteorites burning with intense orange flames. The scorching heat distorted the surrounding air, exuding a terrifying momentum.
Then, it plummeted with a howl!
“Hiss!”
After the powerful attack just now, realizing the formidable Abyssal Worm could not confront it physically, it gave up the upward motion and instead raised its monstrous head, once again spewing toxic green impact.
Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle!
More than ten clusters of flaming meteorites fiercely collided with the venom in the air. In just a few seconds, several of them, along with the burning flames, turned into peculiar dark gray stones, and then collapsed.
However, the immense energy and high temperature contained in those starfires also evaporated the venom spewed by the Abyssal Worm. In the end, six or seven of them still fiercely hit the colossal body of the giant insect!
“Hiss, hiss!”
Where the Abyssal Worm was hit, the carapace immediately showed terrifying cracks, and the internal muscles were burned black. One starfire even directly hit its head’s scissor-like giant pincer, smashing the left half directly from the middle.
This is the insurmountable power gap between transcendent and legendary levels. Even though the worm has reached the legendary peak through special means, without any weapons, Dorina’s casually cast third-tier magic still inflicted the opponent with injuries they had never suffered throughout the
However, as the mother organism of the Abyssal Beasts, the Abyssal Worm contained an incredibly vast amount of energy. The shattered carapace almost healed at an extremely fast pace, as if it had never been damaged, and even the severed pincer on its head visibly regrew to a certain extent.
At this moment, Sigrid, who had finally noticed the situation in the air and had temporarily diverted the enemy’s hatred, swiftly arrived by the side of Dorina and Violet.
“Dorina!? You, you’re actually alive!”
The captain quickly descended, wings spread wide. Along with her arms, she excitedly embraced the mage girl directly into her arms, startling the priestess who had been leaning against Dorina, prompting her to quickly move aside. In her heart, she rolled her eyes.
Can’t she speak properly? Why does it sound like she’s almost wishing someone dead?
“Captain, it’s Miss Violet who saved me, and... I, I can’t explain what happened, but she made me suddenly become very powerful!”
It was evident that the two White Feather girls in the same team had a very close relationship. Dorina didn’t hesitate to hug her back, and the two girls sighed with emotion.
However, this was still on the battlefield. Although the Abyssal Worm had just taken a few harsh hits, this level of damage was far from enough to render it powerless. Recognizing this, Sigrid quickly released her reunited teammate and turned to the priestess on the other side.
“I’m not quite sure what’s going on, but let’s talk about it later. Miss Violet, did you come to help us deal with the Abyssal Worm? What about the others?”
“Yeah, they’re all in the center of the island dealing with the Abyssal Beasts. Don’t worry. Also, I’m just support, so the real fighting has to be done by you guys~”
“Understood.”
After glancing at Violet’s pure and immaculate, at least three times larger snow-white wings behind her, Sigrid didn’t waste any more words and directly threw a brand new staff to Dorina, who was barehanded.
“So, I’ll help distract the attention of the Abyssal Worm. Please attack it with maximum firepower. I’ve already sought help from Her Majesty. Even if we can’t kill it, we must delay until the experts from our country arrive. We cannot allow this monster to roam freely; the consequences would be unimaginable!”
After saying this, the girl turned her wings and once again rushed towards the battlefield below.
“She’s really putting in all her effort...”
“Miss Violet, we need to do our best too!”
The mage, now equipped with a new weapon, looked excited. The staff in her hand was probably from Sigrid’s personal collection, of a high-grade purple rank. Generally speaking, such weapons could significantly enhance the caster’s casting speed, magical power, and accuracy.
Naturally, the priestess didn’t need to assist her hands-on.
“Alright, alright... do your best~ Anyway, Dorina, just let yourself go. The amplification I provide won’t be interrupted until the end of the battle.”
Actually, Violet originally intended not to give Dorina a weapon, to prevent her from accidentally using too powerful magic and instantly killing the creature, similar to what happened with the Abyssal Beast initially. However, seeing the creature’s astonishing recovery, she figured there was no need to worry.
“Yeah! Miss Violet is really reliable!”
Seeing Sigrid once again intercepting the Abyssal Worm attempting to ascend, the girl didn’t waste the precious opportunity the captain had fought for. She raised the staff in her hand and unleashed a bombardment like a storm.
As a Sky Mage at the Earth level, Dorina’s mastery of magic reached a maximum of the 4th tier.
Real-world mages aren’t like in games where, if the conditions are met, they can easily acquire new powers. Any magic requires a complete understanding of its operational circuit, supplemented by incantations, and then released through a staff as a medium.
Although, with practice, many skilled low-tier magics can become instant casts, the prerequisite condition here – proficiency – is crucial.
Even with the average attributes boosted to level 60 under the influence of the 【Shared Battle Covenant】, Dorina could still only use 4th-tier magic and had to recite lengthy incantations – this didn’t change.
Although 4th-tier magic could inflict massive damage on the Abyssal Worm, by the time the long cooldown period ended and she could cast it again, the injuries had completely healed, putting Sigrid, the vanguard, in a tough battle without support.
After using it a few times and noticing this pattern, Dorina immediately changed tactics. Instead, she relied on basic 2nd and 3rd-tier magics that could be cast almost instantly with very short cooldowns.
Even though this approach significantly increased magical energy consumption, with Violet providing continuous support, the mage girl, who discovered that no matter how she used her magic, there seemed to be an endless supply of power, stopped worrying and cast without reservation.
