Chapter 325: Facing Team Lucy
🕑 Added 2025-03-23 12:20:36 +0000 UTC"It's time," Annie said with a serious face, the corners of Annie's lips slightly raised into a confident smile, although Annie's eyes showed wariness.
"Yes, let's teach them a lesson," Harl added, his eyes gleaming with enthusiasm.
"Let's make that girl learn a lesson that will change her!" William added, William's tone full of determination as William nodded his head, William's hair slightly messy from the nervousness he tried to hide.
Annie raised her hand, signaling. "Then let's go!"
Without hesitation, they began to walk forward. Annie led the way, with William, Harl, Jae Hyun, Cynthia, Yuna, and Oliv following behind Annie. Each step they took felt heavy but steady, as if their feet were planting determination in every footprint they left on the ground.
When they finally arrived at the left side of the field, the door to the waiting room on the right side opened, and Team Lucy came out.
They walked confidently, their bodies still straight despite the cheers and pressure of the match atmosphere being so great.
At the forefront stood Lucy, a figure with a calm aura that felt in contrast to the surrounding commotion. Lucy's long hair fluttered gently in the wind, Lucy's face was expressionless, as if this match was just a formality.
On Lucy's right side, a large man with bulging muscles stood like an immovable wall. The man's gaze was sharp, and the man's clenched fists showed that the man preferred fighting with physical strength rather than using weapons.
On Lucy's left side, a girl with short reddish-blue hair stood with a straight posture, her eyes full of focus.
Behind Lucy, a man carried a large sword that looked very heavy, but the man carried the sword on his back casually. On the right of the man, a girl with sharp eyes held a long gun, her fingers relaxed near the trigger. While on the left side of the sword-wielding man, another girl held a fan with a blade. Every time the girl moved it slightly, the reflection of the sharp blade sparkled, adding to the dangerous aura of the girl.
"Alright! Without further ado! The match begins!"
As soon as the host finished speaking, the world seemed to change.
A transparent, glowing wall suddenly appeared around the arena, creating a protective layer that enclosed the battle space. Then, the previously flat and spacious field began to shake. The ground beneath them moved as if a giant creature was awakening from its slumber. In an instant, tall trees rose from the ground, large roots spreading in all directions, and dense leaves cast shadows beneath them. In just a matter of seconds, the field had turned into a wild forest filled with bushes and large trees.
The air was filled with the scent of wet soil and fresh leaves. The sunlight that had previously shone on the field was now covered by the canopy of trees, creating a dimmer and more mysterious atmosphere.

...
...
"Everyone! Do as planned!" Annie instructed in a firm voice.
"Understood!"
They immediately formed a battle formation.
But before they could move any further, something happened in the sky.
Above them, Lucy was floating in the air, her body enveloped in an invisible aura that pulsed softly. Wind swirled around Lucy, making Lucy's long hair float as if blown by a storm.
Then, suddenly, the sky changed.
Spheres of energy began to appear above Lucy—flaming fireballs with red-orange flames that burned the air, water balls spinning like whirlpools, wind balls that were almost transparent but rippled sharply, and earth balls that looked as solid as large boulders.
There were only dozens of them, not hundreds, because that would have drained Lucy's energy.
