Just then, a strange sensation washed over Aiz's heart.
"What… what is this?"
The girl's heart was filled with doubt. She didn't know what the jewel in front of her was, but the feeling grew stronger.
Aiz felt dizzy, and the scene before her began to blur. In the next instant, she couldn't bear it any longer, her knees buckled, and she knelt directly on the ground.
Weine was startled, her eyes filled with panic, and she hurriedly tried to help Aiz.
"Finally, I've found it."
She reached into her bosom, took out a grass flute, and gently placed it to her lips.
The moment the grass flute touched her lips, a sharp whistle immediately echoed in the air.
A spiral longsword instantly appeared in his hand.
He thrust the spiral sword in his hand fiercely towards his feet, the blade pointing directly at the floor below!
Accompanied by a violent impact sound, the floor immediately began to crack, and huge cracks spread rapidly, as if the entire ground was about to be torn in half.
【Oath Under The Snow】
With a loud bang, most of the ground was cut away, revealing a huge pit.
The instant the 【Spiral Sword】 erupted, Weine hugged Aiz, whose body was still trembling, quickly flapped her dragon wings, and flew directly to the nearby open space.
"What's going on?"
"Who's causing trouble?!"
"Is the cat having a nightmare, meow?"
On the other side, Shirou and the others looked at the monster in the pit.
At first glance, the monster looked like a giant snake that had been blown to pieces, but after the smoke cleared slightly, the monster's appearance was truly revealed.
Just then, a figure in black slowly walked out of the smoke.
The black figure's gaze fell directly on the jewel that had flown out during the explosion.
During the last expedition, when the Loki Familia returned from the fifty-ninth floor to the fifty-first floor, it was this person who attacked them.
There was no mistaking it, the person in front of her was the attacker from that time.
【Aria】—this title made Aiz's eyes even sharper.
The number of those monsters was simply uncountable. They were like a huge green wave, spreading in all directions.
This seemed to be a summoning command, and the surrounding monsters began to frantically gather towards her location.
The black figure coldly looked at Aiz, who was blocking between her and the jewel, a hint of disdain flashed in her eyes, and then she rushed forward without hesitation.
"How is this possible—!"
Aiz's face instantly turned pale, she could feel the other party's great change in power.
Not long ago, during the encounter on the fifty-first floor, this black figure's power was only Lv.5, on par with her.
As Aiz's incantation sounded, a violent airflow suddenly surged around her, and the surrounding air began to tremble because of her voice.
Because the power of this magic was too strong, unless the opponent was a strong person like 【Gale】, Aiz would generally not use it in a battle against people.
At this moment, feeling the opponent's great strength and deep malice, Aiz unhesitatingly awakened the power of the wind.
Feeling the power of that Fairy Wind, the black figure's expression changed slightly.
However, the black figure did not expect that "Aria's" wind would be so strong.
"—Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! !"
"! ?"
Aiz's heart trembled suddenly, the scream coming from behind her made her hair stand on end, but at this moment she couldn't turn her head to check the situation.
The black figure, who also heard the cry, seemed to become anxious. She subconsciously looked in the direction of the jewel, but it was too late to react.
The baby's cry became sharper as it broke out of its shell, and that small body seemed to contain amazing power. It suddenly leaped out of the jewel and flew towards Aiz like a small stone.
The man-eating flower monster let out a shrill scream, its body trembled violently.
The baby seemed to have found a host and quickly attached itself to the long body of the man-eating flower monster. That small body gradually merged into the monster's skin like an imprint and disappeared after a few seconds.
The monster's cry became more and more shrill, its mouth spewed out a large amount of mucus, struggling painfully, its body shaking heavily on the ground.
Its body began to bulge, its figure became more burly and more ferocious, as if it was deviating from its original track to carry out some kind of terrifying "growth" or "evolution."
The area where the fetus was parasitic began to bulge, and the contours protruding from the surface of the skin continued to enlarge, and some kind of new creature was struggling to break out from under the skin.
Her skin had an eerie pale blue color, and she still had residual mucus hanging on her body.
Aiz subconsciously opened her mouth softly: "Fairy?!"
"Whoosh!"
Taking advantage of the black figure's distraction, an arrow had already flown in front of her.
She quickly reached out and grabbed the arrow, however, the arrow exploded in the black figure's hand, and the explosion caused her to take a step back subconsciously.
The wind roared, and with Aiz's slash, the huge wind pressure tore the black figure apart, and the resulting shock wave blew the enemy away. She slid backward, leaving deep marks on the stone slab ground before finally stopping with difficulty.
Aiz's sword stabbed forward again, as fast as lightning, the blade carrying the power of wind, directly approaching her chest.

Chapter 248: Roar of the Flame God.
The red-haired woman swung her longsword, trying to block Aiz's fierce attack, while also barely dealing with Weine's attack from the air.
After suffering such serious injuries, the red-haired woman did not hesitate at all and immediately began to retreat.
Surprisingly, even with such serious injuries, her movement speed was not affected at all.
However, on the other side, the monster's riot was also intensifying at the same time.
Parasitized by the jewel, the monster, which was originally a man-eating flower, was now covered with thick, bright red veins, like some kind of terrifying demon plant.
Faced with the random attacks of this huge monster, Shirou and the others had no choice but to temporarily avoid its sharp edge.
The girls were so shocked by the scene in front of them that they couldn't speak. They couldn't help but turn their heads and saw several monsters intertwined with each other, like a distorted and chaotic scene of hell.
Shirou reacted quickly, projecting the Flame Demon Sword and Photon Noble Phantasm, and firing them directly.
"What is that, an octopus?!"

Chapter 247: Aiz and the Fairy
Aiz's eyes met the eyes of the fetus, and at that moment, her body seemed to undergo some kind of miraculous reaction, the blood within her began to surge restlessly.
Suddenly, a sharp ringing sounded deep within her ears, as if something was forcibly invading her consciousness, and a violent wave of nausea surged up from her throat.
At the same time, on top of the tallest clock tower among the remaining buildings in Rivira Town, a figure stood, her gaze fixed on the tavern where Wei Gong and the others were.
"—Come out."
The moment the flute sounded, Wei Gong's senses immediately caught the anomaly: "Projection, start (Trace, On)!"
At that very moment, Wei Gong felt an unusual tremor coming from the ground beneath his feet, and the tremor grew stronger and stronger.
The power of the earth was frantically surging, as if something was about to break out of the ground.
Wei Gong recited the true name of the Noble Phantasm.
"Experience the true rainbow—【Caladbolg】!"
Skill effect activated]
Dust flew, the light was dim, and one could vaguely see something struggling in the pit.
At this moment, the inn experienced a violent tremor, one side of the building had already begun to collapse, and the other half was teetering, seemingly on the verge of complete collapse.
"Huh? Am I still dreaming? Where's Aiz-san?"
The awakened Tiona and the others jumped out of the already dilapidated inn, Lefiya even stumbled when she landed because she couldn't stand properly.
"Man-eating flower?"
The huge monster possessed a serpentine, winding body, and its head was in the form of a huge flower, emitting a strange glow, like a demonic plant from hell.
"Is… it you?"
Aiz's gaze gradually focused, she barely stood up, blocking in front of the black-clothed person.
At that time, the other party was also cloaked in black, and Aiz had a deep memory of her figure and movements.
The black-clothed person looked at Aiz and slowly opened her mouth: "Aria."
At the same time, a huge roar echoed throughout Rivira Town, and cracks opened in the nearby earth, with a large number of plant monsters pouring out of the cracks.
The black-clothed person blew the leaf flute in her hand, and the piercing sound of the flute echoed in the air.
"Don't get in my way, Aria, your time has not yet come."
Aiz's eyes narrowed, she immediately drew her long sword to meet the enemy.
【Tempest】 collided with the strange blade in the black-clothed person's hand, emitting a crisp metallic clanging sound, and the intense impact caused fine cracks to appear in the ground beneath their feet.
However, now, the other party's strength had actually increased so much in such a short period of time.
【Awaken (Tempest)!!】
Aiz activated 【Wind Spirit's Swift Foot】, the power of wind rapidly coiled around her entire body and the blade in her hand, granting her unparalleled speed and power.
The last time she fought the black-clothed person, she didn't even have time to activate her magic before the other party was repelled by Finn and the others.
The long sword in Aiz's hand—【Tempest】 completely awakened with the completion of the incantation, the surrounding wind vortex suddenly accelerated, and a low鸣 faintly carried within the gale.
She had determined that the golden-haired girl in front of her was "Aria" according to the will of "a certain being", and therefore relentlessly pursued her.
At this moment, suddenly, the jewel rolling on the ground—the female fetus inside let out a shrill cry, the sound waves echoed in the battlefield, permeating every corner of the air.
The fetus struggled in the jewel, as if stimulated by something, its tiny little hands and the head buried with strange eyeballs forcefully pierced the green film, and liquid instantly overflowed from the breach.
Seeing the creepy larva flying towards Aiz, Weine immediately flapped her dragon wings, stirring up a gust of wind, and blew the fetus directly away.
The fetus's body tumbled in the air, dripping with liquid, and finally crashed into a nearby man-eating flower monster.
The moment it merged, the man-eating flower monster's body began to change drastically.
The fetus clinging to the skin was like some kind of primer, with the point of parasitism as the center, a dark red, vein-like line rapidly spread, like distorted and twisted静脉血管, spreading along the entire body.
Subsequently, the originally slender body began to swell at an incredible speed.
This scene was like a nightmare before their eyes, the original plant monster was being forcibly changed by something, transforming into an even more terrifying existence.
That appearance was like a butterfly emerging from its chrysalis, as if some completely new biological outline was trying to be born from the monster's body.
Soon, the monster's surface cracked, gradually revealing a slender female figure.
Looking at the female form gradually being born from the monster's body, the black-clothed person's face suddenly turned gloomy: "Damn it, all the efforts have been wasted…!"
"Aiz!"
Wei Gong's voice came.
The girl heard the sound and immediately regained her senses, a look of determination flashed in her eyes, she took a step forward, and the sword in her hand pointed directly at the black-clothed person's head.
The enemy slowly raised her head, blood-like red hair flying in the wind, and emerald green eyes like precious gemstones. Her skin was snow-white, but there was a bloody scar on her left cheek, which looked particularly hideous.
At the same time, from behind the enemy, a shadow suddenly descended from the sky—Weine spread her dragon wings and descended from the sky, slashing down with her sword.
However, facing the double attack of the two swordsmen, she seemed a little overwhelmed. The long sword was broken in the confrontation, her arm was fractured by the huge force, and Weine's sword split a huge wound in her shoulder.
A cold light flashed in Aiz's eyes, she quickly chased after her, and Weine followed closely behind, spreading her dragon wings beside Aiz, the two of them unhesitatingly chased after the fleeing red-haired woman.
It ignored the surrounding terrain obstacles, frantically smashing buildings, making deafening roars, and went straight towards the direction where Aiz was chasing.
Wherever the monster went, once it saw other man-eating flower monsters, it immediately pounced on them without mercy.
The parasitized female body seemed to have completed some kind of mutation, her eyes slowly opened, her gaze empty and cold, revealing a chilling sense of evil.
His target was not the parasitized man-eating flower monster, but the other monsters around it that were about to be devoured.
