The Fukaros Familia, starting from DanMachi.

Chapter 106 Parallel Chanting

"Yaika!"

The heavy roar shook the entire cave.

The five colossal beings, the Fire Axe Hilichurl thugs, finally began their charge.

Ignoring Fenyu and Tifa charging through the monster horde, their crimson eyes were fixed on their sole target—a ley line stone, that fragile ball of blue light that symbolized the core of the dungeon.

The five giant beasts took a step at the same time, and their heavy footsteps made the entire cave tremble violently.

Listen to the whispers at the cusp of dawn and dusk—

"6

Behind everyone, Feng Jin's chanting rang out just in time.

"Through the cracks of memory, O gentle spirit, please once again send down the healing rain for me and for all of us, and hold up that clear sky!"

A pink magic circle unfolded beneath her feet, and a pink pegasus named Ika leaped out from the light.

Little Ika let out a cute chirp, then flapped its wings vigorously.

A strong gust of wind suddenly arose, forming an invisible barrier between the Hilichurl thugs and the stone.

The thugs' massive bodies were slowed by the gale, halting their charge.

But this is ultimately just a stopgap measure.

Feng Jin's level is only Lv.1, and her magic power is simply not enough to bind five Lv.3 elite monsters for a long time.

The wind wall trembled precariously under the immense impact, and could collapse at any moment.

"I'll go over there!"

Tifa noticed the danger behind her and turned to rush over to help when a dark purple flame appeared out of thin air. Four figures emerged from the shadows like ghosts, blocking her path.

Fire Abyss Mage.

They simultaneously raised their staffs, and four chains burning with ominous flames roared through the air, blocking all of Tifa's escape routes from four directions.

Tifa gritted her teeth, her fists blazing with magical light. Instead of retreating, she advanced, unleashing a rapid series of punches against the chains, shattering three chains with a deafening explosion.

But the fourth strike still slipped through the gaps in her punches, and was about to wrap around her body when it rang out, "Sound!"

A clear, sharp sound wave, like an invisible arrow, struck the last chain of flames with pinpoint accuracy.

The chains jolted violently in mid-air, then shattered into countless sparks.

[The sound of fluttering white wings].

The robin stood in the distance, supported by the violet, her right hand slightly raised, her emerald eyes sparkling.

Her magic was still slowly recovering under the effect of [Intoxication Overture], not enough to cast a miracle like [Star Fugue] again, but she could still use the super short chanting magic [White Whisper of Wings].

Without pausing for a moment, her verdant eyes swept across the other side of the battlefield, and she spoke again: "Play it."

Another sharp sonic wave pierced the air and struck a Hilichurl shaman who was quietly circling behind Burning Feather and raising his staff.

The shaman let out a piercing scream, his body flying backward as if struck by a heavy blow. His staff flew out of his hand, and the cursed fire was extinguished instantly.

Fen Yu's gaze swept over the wind wall that was about to be breached, and over Tifa who was entangled by the abyss mage. He knew that he could no longer hold back.

Once the Earth Vein Suppressing Stone is destroyed, this dungeon attempt will end in failure.

He took a deep breath, continuing to wield his flaming sword to reap the surrounding Hilichurls while dodging the shamans' sporadic fireball attacks. At the same time, he began to chant rapidly and in a low voice.

Simultaneous chanting.

This is a skill that even few mages in Orario can master—to simultaneously move, attack, and defend while also focusing on casting spells.

This requires the caster to have an iron will and terrifying multitasking calculation ability.

Since awakening her magic, Fenyu has been honing this skill.

However, the process was not smooth; the feeling of splitting one's consciousness could easily lead to mental confusion during intense battles.

However, the robin's skill [Harmony Family] makes this originally impossible task simple.

Within the mental network, he seemed to have gained a godlike perspective.

All the team members' senses were shared, and threats from all directions were clearly presented in his mind.

Thanks to the robin's skill, his body seemed to possess an independent fighting instinct; dodging, blocking, and swinging his sword became actions that he almost no longer needed to think about.

This allowed him to devote most of his energy to another thing—singing.

This time, he will not use [Demon King Valion], nor [Garden of Silence].

Instead, it belongs to "Silence" Alphia's trump card, the strongest wide-area annihilation magic.

"The root of blessing, the hatred of birth, the original sin that devours half my body —"

Although Fen Yu's chanting was low and deep, it was like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, instantly creating the most deadly ripples in this cave filled with shouts and roars.

The originally low-intelligence Hilichurls and Slimes were still blindly rushing towards the Leyline Stone, but the elite monsters further back stopped at the same moment.

Whether it was the Hilichurl thugs wielding giant fire axes or the Abyss mages and shamans floating in mid-air, preparing to unleash spells, their crimson or purplish gazes all shifted from the Leyline Stone and locked onto the white-haired figure who was fighting and chanting at the same time.

An ineffable fear, stemming from their very life instincts, seized their simple thoughts.

They didn't understand what it was, but they knew they had to stop him.

"Muhe!"

"Yeye!"

Abandoning the Leyline Suppressor, all the elite monsters—the Hilichurl Thugs, the Abyss Mages, and the few remaining Hilichurl Shamans—changed direction and surged towards Burning Feather.

"Don't even think about it!"

Tifa gave a sharp shout; of course, she wouldn't let them interrupt Burning Feathers' chanting.

Facing the abyss mage blocking her way, she advanced instead of retreating, the light swirling around her fists growing ever more intense, her entire body transforming into a blur as she took the initiative to meet him.

"Play it!"

The robin reacted just as quickly, her clear, emerald eyes showing no sign of panic.

She precisely fired out waves of [White Wings], each one hitting a Hilichurl shaman attempting to cast a spell, interrupting their cursed fire and clearing away the threat from behind for Burning Feather.

Fen Yu, on the other hand, placed all his trust in his companions behind him.

The Fiery Sword flashed, each swing taking the lives of several Hilichurls.

No matter how tricky the attack came from, his body could always dodge it half a step in advance.

"—Unable to cleanse, unable to purify, unable to redeem—"

His chanting continued without pause; the deep, rapid incantations were like a harbinger of death.
