Amidst this shocking scene, Aiz was one of the few who didn't cover their ears.
The girl even forgot to defend against the deafening cries, simply staring blankly at the monster, unable to tear her gaze away.
The panic in the girl's heart seemed to be swept away, her heartbeat gradually returning to normal, and as she watched Wei Gong's figure, she inexplicably felt a sense of peace.

Chapter 227: The Shining Spear of Finality.
Wei Gong nocked an arrow on his longbow and asked softly.
"Aiz—Aiz!!"
The alien being ecstatically called out "Aiz" to the Sword Princess.
The instant Aiz met those golden eyes, an incredible feeling surged within her.
"A spirit…! ?"
A spirit. That was a being from ancient legends who accepted the will of the gods and provided aid to heroes.
Countless heroes in ancient legends received the help of spirits, and together they drove away monsters, composing many legends.
Especially when facing the source of all monsters, the Dungeon, the heroes of Orario received a great deal of assistance from the spirits.
"A spirit!? That weird-looking thing!?"
Tiona exclaimed in surprise upon hearing Aiz's words.
"So, those monsters are just tentacles to nourish her?"
Finn narrowed his eyes.
All the monsters on the fifty-ninth floor, and even the Dungeon itself on this floor, could be said to have become nourishment and a breeding ground for this monster.
The female monster, like a child, kept calling out "Aiz," her tone full of joy and anticipation.
"Why don't you become one with me!?"
She said excitedly, as if anticipating something with great joy.
"—Let me eat you, okay?"
The female monster smiled, revealing a terrifying, crescent-shaped grin.
In that instant, it felt as if countless cold needles were piercing Aiz's heart.
The magic sword shot by Wei Gong tore through the sky, directly hitting the female monster's beautiful face, and the intense explosion instantly ignited a raging fire, engulfing her face.
Finn's command rang out like a bell.
At the same time, a deafening roar echoed from the entrance to the forest, as huge trees and twisted vines frantically intertwined, blocking all possible escape routes.
And upon hearing Finn's sharp voice, Tiona and the others, who had been somewhat shaken, instantly reacted, subconsciously raising their weapons.
A harsh, grating roar echoed all around, and at least a hundred larvae and plant monsters swarmed towards Aiz and the others.
Facing the oncoming army of yellow-green and mottled monsters, the adventurers all drew their weapons.
Finn calmly reminded them.
"Raul, is the magic sword ready?"
Finn issued instructions with the precision of facing a floor boss, and the supporters immediately took action.
Aiz, the only one equipped with unbreakable armor, rushed to the front without hesitation, while Alicia summoned several ice swords to provide cover for her.
As the嘍囉 monsters were constantly being eliminated, the transformed female monster also began to move.
Seeing the long and large tentacles coming aggressively, Tiona and Tione rushed forward to meet them without hesitation.
The tentacles' offensive was continuous, raining down from a hundred meters away, and all the attacks were aimed directly at Aiz.
Gareth looked at the endless stream of larvae monsters rushing towards him with a displeased expression, gripping his spare weapon tightly. However, after several consecutive strikes, his weapon also began to corrode and could no longer be used.
"Roar!"
He let out an angry roar, throwing the larva like a boulder towards the distant enemy ranks.
The larva exploded in mid-air, and corrosive fluid splattered everywhere, directly destroying many monsters.
His dwarf right thumb kept spasming, sending painful sensations, his voice filled with deep worry and caution: "My thumb keeps twitching—something is approaching."
In that instant, Finn's hesitant heart was supported by some kind of power.
These few short words contained the most difficult decision a commander could make when faced with an unpredictable situation.
【Fire, come—】
"Chanting!?"
Aiz and the other adventurers were shocked at the same time.
"Monsters can chant!? That's outrageous!?"
A vast red magic circle unfolded on the ground, and majestic magic power gushed upwards from the center.
Following Finn's instructions, Raul, Lefiya, and the other adventurers acted one after another, preparing magic and magic swords to counterattack.
Facing such a strong attack, the female monster simply smiled, raising the huge petals of her lower body to block in front of her.
Strength and agility were overwhelmingly insufficient, and the speed of attack was too slow—the cat girl realized that she should practice her throwing knife skills more diligently.
【Roar, Fire Vortex, Crimson Cliff, Inferno Roar, borrow the power of the gale to seal the world, burning sky, burning earth, burning sea, burning spring, burning mountain, burning life, turning everything into scorched earth, paying the price of the life of the hero I love—】
If Riveria had such speed, she would have already completed 【Dimension Interruption】, and could even directly chant the stronger 【Arclight】
The monster with the beauty of a spirit smiled, revealing an elegant and eerie expression.
【In the name of the proxy, the name given to me is Salamander, the incarnation of fire, the Queen (Monarch) of Fire—】
At this moment, the world was dyed fiery red.
What swept in from the front was a fiery storm like a tsunami. The fiery red heat wave turned into an endless torrent, rushing towards the direction where Riveria and the others were, flooding into her vision.
Finally, the flames gradually dissipated, and Riveria finally withstood the blow, kneeling on one knee on the ground, breathing heavily.
Within the visible range, it was a scorched earth, and only the small area protected by Riveria's barrier remained intact.
However, even though they were spared, the supporters—Raul, Anji, and others—had already collapsed to the ground, their expressions filled with powerlessness and fear.
In her hollow eyes, other figures besides Aiz finally appeared.
【Earth, roar—】
She simply stood there, her gaze completely drawn to the green, female monster before her, her entire being lost in deep confusion and helplessness.
Just then, Welf pulled his hand away from Aiz's.
Aiz felt a sudden pang of anxiety, but when she saw Welf's action—he unhesitatingly projected arrows and a longbow.
Aiz didn't reach for Welf's hand again, but instead gripped her own sword.
"Aiz, do you know what that is?"
Aiz raised her head, gazing up at the bizarre entity.
The "female" turned her neck, staring directly at Aiz, and then let out a cry of joy.
Her heart rate accelerated at that moment, as if some deeply buried memory within her had suddenly awakened.
Aiz spoke softly.
Before the descent of the gods, the fairies were the receivers of the will of the lower world.
In the past, fairies bore the responsibility of guiding the human race and protecting the world, a role similar to the "divine grace" that adventurers now rely on.
In countless heroic legends, fairies were often loyal companions to heroes, fighting against the darkness together.
However, the entity before them made it difficult to associate it with the fairies of legend.
The presence of that female monster seemed particularly terrifying to the adventurers—a blasphemy of mingled holiness and malice, a sinful existence where beauty and ugliness, purity and filth, were intertwined, instinctively making people feel uneasy.
"Aria, Aria!!"
"I want to see you so much, I want to see you!"
Aiz suddenly froze, the voice carrying a kind of irresistible charm, striking directly at her heart, causing her whole body to tremble.
Hearing this, Tiona and the others immediately turned to Aiz, their faces filled with surprise and unease.
Riveria, Finn, and the others seemed to gradually realize something, their expressions becoming increasingly grave.
At that very moment—
"Boom!"
The sound of an explosion, as if coming from the heavens, dragged all the adventurers "immersed" in the fairy's voice back to reality.
"Everyone, prepare to fight!"
The larvae and mandrakes that had offered up their [Magic Stones] instantly changed direction, as if obeying [Her] dark will, their target directly at the adventurers—especially Aiz.
Welf's direct attack was like a bugle call, piercing through the gloom in the adventurers' hearts and igniting their fighting spirit.
"Ahahaha!"
In the blazing fire, that beautiful face revealed a mocking smile, [She] let out an eerie laugh, like lighting a fuse and detonating the battle.
"The mucus sprayed by those larvae is corrosive, be careful not to get hit!"
"Try to use ranged attacks as much as possible! Bete, control yourself, don't rush too far ahead!"
Lefiya raised her magic staff high and began to chant magic, while Raul and the others took out longsword-shaped magic swords, directly releasing magic without chanting.
Anke then used Aiz's spare weapon—the indestructible armament [Despair Sword]—to join the tide of monsters.
She extended several tentacles from her giant flower-like lower body, raised them in front of her, and then shot them at the adventurers with astonishing speed.
"So heavy!"
The enemy's tentacles, combining speed and power, were even stronger than the attacks of the Labyrinth Alone King Udaeus, making their arms holding their weapons go numb.
Seeing this scene, Tiona and Tione couldn't help but feel angry, shouting "Don't underestimate us!" as they continuously swung their weapons, trying to block those threats.
So, the boisterous dwarf made an extremely bold and dangerous move—he rushed up, grabbed a larva monster that hadn't had time to self-destruct, and then used his immense strength to fling it away.
Finn suddenly raised his voice: "Riveria, wait a moment before chanting!"
Just then, Welf's voice rang out: "No, start chanting now! Chant [Dimension Interruption]!"
Finn subconsciously turned his head and saw Welf holding [Hrunting], the boy's eyes flashing with a brilliant golden light.
"Listen to Welf, start chanting!"
At the same time, the female-type monster slightly raised the corners of her mouth, as if affirming his intuition with a smile.
In the next instant, the song of the incantation surged through the air like a torrent.
Beneath the giant lower body, a huge magic circle slowly unfolded.
Ominous patterns and rising red magical light enveloped the female-type monster's entire body.
"Barrage! Stop the enemy's chanting!"
The light of the magic swords and hundreds of fire arrows poured towards the female-type monster, and powerful firepower exploded within the fifty-ninth floor.
The flames, like raging waves, quickly pounced on the enemy.
"Damn it!"
Kroea cursed in a low voice, the two [Law Breaking Daggers] she threw only pierced the hard petals.
Countless flashes and impacts exploded in front of the fallen fairy, however, when the flames gradually dissipated, the petals still stood tall, and the female-type monster stood there calmly, continuing her chanting.
Her chanting speed was so fast that it made the elven mages tremble.
The vast magical power that a non-human race could possess was being poured into this super-intelligent bombardment magic with overwhelming speed.
[—Dance, spirits of the atmosphere, lords of light.
I make a pact with the guardian deity of the forest, hoping to play the song of the earth to envelop us all.
Protect us—I beseech you to transform into a forest of light to protect us—my name is Alf.]
The scorching fire wind crashed against the barrier, the sound of the collision tore through the air, and Riveria let out an angry roar.
Her once-indestructible barrier was being subjected to such a strong impact for the first time, shaking unsteadily.
The ground around them, originally engulfed in wildfire, was now only black ash, and countless monsters, magic stones, and even the dense forest behind them, had all turned to ashes in the flames and disappeared.
The fallen fairy standing in the center of the space tilted her head slightly, she stared at Riveria, the person who blocked her magic.
The fairy smiled slightly, a smile that sent chills down one's spine, carrying innocent malice and endless power.
