Garius lept into the air, blades spinning in his hands like twin comets of green-white light.
"Hahahahaha!"
His sly grin widened as he landed right in the middle of the horde, at the very heart of the corrupted mass.
A dozen dark mana beasts shrieked and lunged all at once.
SLASH!
Limbs flew. Corruption scattered into smoky shreds. Blood hissed into steam.
Every beast that dared come near was cut down with a single strike, not even given a chance to roar.
"Come on! Is that all you've got?!"
He spun around, blades carving elegant arcs of destruction.
"Bring out the BIGGEST one!!"
His shout echoed across the contaminated field.
"GYAHAHAHAHA!!"
From the shadows, a twisted creature three times the size of a house lunged to slam him from above—only for Garius to leap straight into the air and carve its skull in half mid-flight, laughing all the while.
He landed lightly on its crumbling corpse.
Alf, back-to-back with Erinette, stood frozen for a moment.
"...My lord..."
