[At the New Headquarters]

[Kara point of view]

"WHAT'S WRONG WITH THAT SAINTESS!?" [Farhah]

"She's not as strong as the other devil commander, but her witch ability is terrifying" [Mara]

"True, my witch power pale in comparison to her" (But maybe Rafiah could go up against her should she gain more of her confidence

...) [Kana]

"Still, if we can get to her, then the battle will be easier" [Savel]

"Not just this battle, but the entire situation will be tilt in our favour" [Gilbert]

"Then we have to do it fast, especially before she gain control of Zin" [Singa]

"That, as well as the sleeping vampires and giants" [Kara]

Which got me thinking, just why didn't she use the vampires and giants that she experimented on yet? If I am to be in her position, I would unleash those sleeping Vampires and Giants as soon as I started the assault here. Is there a factor that prevent her from doing so?

(Was it Ultima Iero Fragma? The barrier spell that was erected by Saintess Rumia?) [Kara]

If that's the case, that will partially explain why she didn't activate and uses them? But why didn't they use it even before our arrival? It just doesn't make any sense? I couldn't see any advantage of not using them here

~Bark~~Bark~~Bark~

~Bark~~Bark~~Bark~

~Bark~~Bark~~Bark~

As the flying devilish canine tries to bite and chew my head off, I simply avoid it and blast and shredded it away with my wind sickle magic. It power is getting boosted thanks to the blessing that I received from the Holy Beast of Wind, The Eternal Wind. Thing is...

"Witch art: Dismantles. Combine" [Saintess Angela]

Her witch ability, it's nothing but terrifying. Seeing as how the corpses of the devil getting quickly dismantles and getting attach to the canine in a quick but rather haphazard way makes my stomach grumble, as to see the horrid state of the devil. I'm not keen with dog, but even I can tell that they're in pain. For starter, I'm almost positive that she didn't even use any pain nullification, or at least pain relief spell before using that witch art of her, and that's not to say anything about the poorly attached body parts on top of each other. Sure, the main body can utilize it, and the power was made somehow even stronger, as the attacks power and speed getting higher and higher, but it also become easily predictable, with nothing but a simple observations can let us avoid any attack

Still...

"Witch art: Ball of canine" [Angela]

"Just what in the world is she trying to make?" [Farhah]

"I don't know, but I don't like the sound of it" [Mara]

"Tch, they might be a devil, but seeing those dogs getting poorly treated ticks me off" [Singa]

"As do I... Dragonewt technique: Mirage Dragon roar" [Savel]

Savel, using his mirage and dragonewt technique, try to disturb the process. Those canine devils, they're getting attracted to a body of gravitational pull, and they're getting dismantles and combined one after another at terrifying speed. I can tell what the Saintess trying to do

"Wind golem magic: Rampaging Garuda!!!" [Kara]

Focus! Remember what the Holy Beast of Wind, the Eternal Wind mentioned about the advantage of using wind magic. Air, they're everywhere, if I didn't have enough of it here, simply pull it out from somewhere else. Just take it from somewhere else, gather it around and

"That's..." [Farhah]

"Smaller, but that's without a doubt..." [Mara]

~Screech~

"I see. Kara, can you let Birdie inside of it and control it?" [Kana]

"Great idea! I will" [Kara]

Now, let Birdie inside and let him take care of the core of my "mini" Rampaging Garuda, and let Mr Kana who had been with Birdie for a long time in as well, and together

"The wing started to take a metallic shape!" [Savel]

"And look, thunder... Thunder is everywhere" [Farhah]

"Kara, I'll ride Birdie new body, so can you..." [Mara]

"Yes! I'll support this spell!" [Kara]

"Then I'll start throwing wind spell as well! With this much power, even I can pull a spell or two off!" [Singa]

It didn't take Singa long to get used to his newly found blessing, so he start throwing wind magic one after another, but not as a mean to kill his opponent, but rather as a fatal distraction for his enemies. It's strong enough that one shouldn't completely ignore it, but one shouldn't also forget that his sword clad with space magic will cleave through everything that it touches. Couple that with his new flight ability, and combine with his usual short range teleportation, it's actually put Saintess Angela in a tough spot. Even the devil that are trying to shield Saintess Trying having a hard time, as Singa did manage to grace Saintess Angela quite a number of time

""NOW RAMPAGING STEEL! DESTROY THE CORE!"" [Mara, Kana]

~SCREEEEECH~

With the three of them combine (and me maintaining the spell), we charge through the ever growing mass of thousand headed canine devils. They're all sharing a single round body with heads of various shape and sizes protruding our from every possible empty spaces of that pile of meat ball. Saintess Angela, seeing that Rampaging Steel trying to destroy it with brute force, make adjustments such as wind resistance, wind absorption, wind nullification on her creation, but

"Angela! Take this!" [Gilbert]

As Singa and Savel are launching attack left and right, she got careless and Mr Gilbert take advantage of it. His lasso manage to grab and tie Saintess Angela left foot, before getting forcefully dragged by Mr Gilbert, and what awaits her is

"Take this! Plant Magic: Forest Carnival!" [Farhah]

The spell that she uses inside the beast challenge dungeon. A huge bow and arrow made out of wood, just misses the mark as those canine devils protect her, but the thorny spikes and branches that keeps sprouting out one after another, keeps impaling those devils until

"Damn... She's not even an Avery yet..." (Still...) [Angela]

We got her
