['Serafina (★★★★)'s seal 'Wings of Malaikat (F-)' has evolved into 'Wings of Ananta (U)'!]
A warm invigorating energy suddenly engulfed my body.
All my fatigue and wounds washed away completely.
My strength replenished as if I had months of rest.
['Serafina (★★★★)'s exclusive skill Blessing of Malaikat is activated!]
['Serafina (★★★★)'s physical state has been fully restored!]
['Serafina (★★★★)'s stats have been increased by 150% for a period of time!]
I could feel a great pool of energy within me.
It was so vast like an ocean. Infinite. Endless. Like the universe itself.
Never had I imagined such power could be wielded by one person.
But I had it anyway.
My mind began rushing to come up with the myriad of possibilities this limitless power allowed me.
['Wings of Ananta' has begun resonating with Hero 'Serafina (★★★★)'!]
[Class Promotion!]
['Serafina (★★★★)'s class has been promoted into 'Archsaint'!]

SCREECH!!!!
The chimera and its minions had finished regenerating themselves after my fire assault earlier.
My remaining three party comrades were still scattered all over the rise, confused by what just happened.
I waved my hand and instantly teleported all of them to my side.
Screech!
The chimera immediately set its sight on us.
It directed all three of its heads on our position and launched a combined barrage of dark flames, exploding thorns, and boiling liquid.
I stepped forward, placing myself between my comrades and the chimera's assaults. Warm energy on my back began to penetrate outward.
[Exclusive skill activated! 'Serafina (★★★★)' is transforming!]
Whoosh!
Massive pair of silver-feathered wings burst forth from my shoulder blades.
Silver scales akin to those of serpents rapidly grew all over my arms and neck. They formed circular patterns like bangles.
I used the new wings of mine to rise over my comrades like a wall and shielded them from the chimera's attack.
Boom!
The chimera's barrage struck me.
And yet I was not harmed whatsoever.
Black flames enveloped my entire body and yet I was not burned. Thorns struck me but they bounced right off. Boling dark liquid washed over me but I was not seared.
My bangles of scales shined with bright silver light while I was perfectly enduring the chimera's deadly assault.
['Serafina (★★★★)'s exclusive skill Absolute Perpetuity is activated!]
[This hero is immune to physical attacks!]
[This hero is immune to magical attacks!]
I managed to intercept the chimera's assault and protected my comrades.
But nothing was resolved yet.
Kroaahh!
Kreee!
Kraaaa!
[Mutated Dark Spawn Lv.17 x???]
[Mutated Night Terror Lv.19 x???]
[Mutated Deathbringer Lv.25 x???]
The chimera's army of unkillable minions started charging toward my comrades and I.
They threatened to overwhelm us with their immortal trait.
I had enough of this.
[Stop.]
I sounded throughout the rise.
All the minions suddenly froze. They were compelled by my single command.
['Serafina (★★★★)'s Compulsion Magic has levelled up several times to level 10!]
['Serafina (★★★★)'s Compulsion Magic has reached its maximum level!]
I lifted my hand and made a slight downward motion.
[Down.]
A powerful invisible force pushed all the chimera's minions to the ground. The pressure of the force was so great that some of them were crushed to mush.
['Serafina (★★★★)'s Telekinesis has levelled up to level 10!]
['Serafina (★★★★)'s Telekinesis has reached its maximum level!]
Screeech!
The chimera roared a terrible scream upon seeing its army suppressed.
I turned my gaze toward the three-headed beast.
"I said [Down] you mutt!"
The chimera suddenly crashed to the ground, struck by the similar powerful invisible force.
It was shoved down so hard that a large crater was formed around the creature.
[Skill Awakened!]
[Hero 'Serafina (★★★★)'s Telekinesis and Compulsion Magic have been combined to create a new skill!]
['Serafina (★★★★)' has obtained the skill, 'Dominion'!]
"Now stay there!"
I said as I flapped my giant wings toward the chimera.
Silver feathers darted toward the creature.
The feathers rapidly pierced into its body like raining ballista bolts.
They pinned the chimera still as if they were giant nails.
[Blessing of Malaikat is taking effect! Ignoring the Cursed Abomination's resistance power!]

[Blessing of Malaikat is taking effect! Ignoring the Cursed Abomination's resistance power!]
Once the chimera and its minions were no longer causing any problem, I ascended to the sky with the help of my wings.
I turned my gaze to the entire battlefield of the fourth Quintal Trial.
So many things were happening at once with the rearguards.
And I wanted to know everything.
I spread my mana beyond the rise and soon my magic particles hit an invisible wall.
It was a barrier put in place through the forged land's power, preventing us from reaching the rearguard parties.
But I did not care.
I wanted to reach my struggling comrades and I wanted to help them.
[Come to me.]
My mouth sounded instinctively.
Shing!
A flash of light appeared before me and manifested into a large book with the symbol of feathered wings on its cover.
The subquest grimoire.
I had now figured out the mysterious Malaikat Factor required in all the spells inside this book.
It was the unique infinite energy provided by my seal, the one within me right now.
Time to make use of everything this grimoire had to offer.
I reached into the infinite source of power within me and thought of a certain spell inside the grimoire.
The hovering book suddenly opened by itself right on the page I was thinking of.
It continued to shine and resonated with me.
[Book of Malaikat (S+) is taking effect!]
The grimoire reached into my mind and became my guide.
It listened to my intention and enlightened me on what I needed to do.
It helped me wield the overwhelming power of my seal and convert them into magical energy that I could use.
It became a new part of me, an extension of my mind that strived to realize what I wanted.
['Serafina (★★★★)'s intelligence has increased by 50% for a period of time!]
[The effects of Hero 'Serafina (★★★★)'s skills have been enhanced for a period of time!]
[The synergy between Hero 'Serafina (★★★★)'s skills has been enhanced for a period of time!]
With the aid of my grimoire, I channeled more power from my infinite source of energy and forced my way through the invisible barrier around the rise.
[Breaching the system's barrier!]
['Serafina (★★★★)'s Hands that Twist Space and Time has levelled up to level 10!]
['Serafina (★★★★)'s Hands that Twist Space and Time has reached its maximum level!]
['Serafina (★★★★)'s Hands that Twist Space and Time has evolved into Universal Reach!]
I could feel the barrier crumbling.
My mana penetrated into its every thread and untangled them.
The invisible wall soon dissipated into nothing.
[System's barrier breached!]
[Skill Awakened!]
[Hero 'Serafina (★★★★)'s Universal Reach and Advanced Enchantment have been combined to create a new skill!]
['Serafina (★★★★)' has obtained the skill, 'Sorcerer Force'!]
With the wall out of my way, I flooded my mana throughout the Quintal Trial's field.
I could sense my comrades' slight presence through my magic particles. Their bodies moving about in vague manner.
['Serafina (★★★★)'s Mana Detection has levelled up several times to level 10!]
['Serafina (★★★★)'s Mana Detection has reached its maximum level!]
But I needed to find out more.
What was happening with them? What battle were they facing? What pain were they feeling?
More and More!
[Skill Awakened!]
['Serafina (★★★★)'s Mana Detection has evolved into Magic Sight!]
Yes…
I could see everything now…
Everything that was happening with everyone…
I could see Djhotti twirling his huge halberd against dozens of pirates surrounding him. His armor had been turned crimson with his own blood.
Unconscious Vallerynne was huddling under the protection of her last golem as the dwarf was fending off their enemies.
I could see Ulrica swinging her axe and beheading ten pirates at once. Her entire body was bursting with lightning.
Wounded Matrias was kneeling behind her, gagging and coughing up streams of blood.
I could see Graihan charging around in his beast form, massacring the hordes of enemies hunting him. Spears and arrows were riddling his entire body but he fought on as if he was unharmed.
Bloodied Arian was fighting beside the lycanthrope. The Kutub hunter emanated with fierce energy as she struck down her enemies.
I could see Zecht rampaging through the battlefield with the same ferocity. Little Tarran was rushing by him raining down explosive arrows to the ocean of enemies around them.
Yuxia stood behind his comrades. His colorful dress had been stained crimson with blood pouring from his mouth. The elementalist desperately sent out feeble First Circle assaults to aid the two fighters while also protecting the corpses of his fallen comrades by him.
I could see everything happened all at once.
As if I was there right by them.
Nothing escaped my eyes.
['Serafina (★★★★)'s Magic Sight has levelled up several times to level 10!]
['Serafina (★★★★)'s Magic Sight has evolved into Heaven's Eye!]
Ease your worries, my comrades.
No more harm shall come to you.
[Rise, my army.]
I chanted as my hand swept through the horrifying scenery.
Hundreds of towering golems rose from the ground throughout the battlefield.
They charged at the enemies around the rearguard parties and saved my comrades from immediate harm.
[Skill Awakened!]
[Hero 'Serafina (★★★★)'s Golem Summoning and Advanced Alchemy have been combined to create a new skill!]
['Serafina (★★★★)' has obtained the skill, 'Alchemist Hands'!]
Now rest, my comrades.
Your sufferings shall cease.
I channeled my mana into all the surviving heroes in the fourth Quintal Trial, each and every one of them spread throughout the vast battlefield.
['Serafina (★★★★)'s Mana Transfer has levelled up several times to level 10!]
['Serafina (★★★★)'s Mana Transfer has reached its maximum level!]
My magic particles sensed all their wounds. All their pain.
I mended their injured bodies, restoring them to their perfect state.
['Serafina (★★★★)' has obtained the skill, 'Healing Magic'!]
[Skill Awakened!]
[Hero 'Serafina (★★★★)'s Mana Transfer and Healing Magic have been combined to create a new skill!]
['Serafina (★★★★)' has obtained the skill, 'Healer's Grace'!]
But healing their wounds was not enough.
Enemies were still lurking. Threats remained as long as the mission resumed.
My comrades shall not see more sufferings. At least not for the remainder of this Quintal Trial.
['Serafina (★★★★)' is casting multiple enchantments.]
I reinvigorated their fatigued minds.
[All heroes' stats have increased by 50% for a period of time!]
I hardened their skins to be as tough as steel. I strengthened their blood to defeat poisons. I reinforced their bodies to withstand all sorts of disturbance.
[All heroes' physical resistance has increased by 50% for a period of time!]
[All heroes' magic resistance has increased by 50% for a period of time!]
[All heroes' ailment resistance has increased by 50% for a period of time!]
I even casted unbreakable shield all over them so no enemy could harm my comrades anymore.
Everything I could think of to protect them.
[Skill Awakened!]
[Hero 'Serafina (★★★★)'s Sorcerer Force and Healer's Grace have been combined to create a new skill!]
['Serafina (★★★★)' has obtained the skill, 'Divine Touch'!]
Having ensured my comrades' safety, I turned my gaze to the enemies.
Thousands of unkillable pirates, war hounds, and other monsters were plaguing the battlefield.
They kept regenerating and pushing the army of golems I had summoned, threatening to reach my comrades.
I had to stop them.
Raising my hands to the sky above, I began wielding all elemental runes that I knew of, hundreds of them.
[Skill Awakened!]
[Several of Hero 'Serafina (★★★★)'s skills have levelled up to their maximum level!]
['Serafina (★★★★)'s Intermediate Fire Magic has evolved into Advanced Fire Magic!]
['Serafina (★★★★)'s Intermediate Wind Magic has evolved into Advanced Wind Magic!]
['Serafina (★★★★)'s Intermediate...!]
['Serafina (★★★★)'s Intermediate...!]
['Serafina (★★★★)'s...!]
['Serafina (★★★★)'s,,,,!]
['Serafina (★★★★)'s....!]
The hovering grimoire in front of me flapped its pages rapidly. All the symbols within the magic book glowed brightly like the evening stars.
My mind had never casted so many spells at once. It was impossible at the current state I was as a mage.
But I reached to the infinite power within me and forced myself to achieve the impossible.
[Skill Awakened!]
[Hero 'Serafina (★★★★)'s Advanced Research and Multicasting have been combined to create a new skill!]
['Serafina (★★★★)' has obtained the skill, 'Caster Mind'!]
My mana vessel trembled uncontrollably upon my grand sorcery. It was pushed to the brink of collapse each second.
But once again I reached for the endless power within me and made the impossible possible.
['Serafina (★★★★)'s Mana Overflow Resistance has levelled up several times to level 10!]
['Serafina (★★★★)'s Mana Overflow Resistance has evolved into Caster Heart!]
[Skill Awakened!]
[Hero 'Serafina (★★★★)'s Caster Mind and Caster Heart have been combined to create a new skill!]
['Serafina (★★★★)' has obtained the skill, 'Sorcerer Soul'!]
Wind rushed in from all corners of the sky. Storm raged on in the speeding clouds, summoning lightning which streaked through heaven.
Flames, ice, boulders manifested and amalgamated together into a thundering maelstrom of nature.
[Skill Awakened!]
[Hero 'Serafina (★★★★)'s Advanced Fire Magic, Advanced Wind Magic, Advanced Water Magic, Advanced Earth Magic, Advanced Lava Magic, Advanced Lightning Magic and Advanced Ice Magic have been combined to create a new skill!]
['Serafina (★★★★)' has obtained the skill, 'Myriad Elemental Arts'!]
I searched for every living thing that I named as enemy.
My eyes detected their presence and marked them.
Once I knew where exactly all my enemies were, I tore the raging heaven apart and let judgment rained upon each of my condemned foes.
['Serafina (★★★★)' has obtained the skill, 'Judgment Rain'!]
Hundreds of lightning bolts darted from the clouds and blasted through the enemies all over.
Giant boulders and large hails crashed down on the enemies like a never-ending storm.
Fire pillars and tornadoes descended from the heaven and obliterated our foes as if it was the advent of apocalypse.
No enemy escaped my attack. Not even one.
Under the guidance of my eye, my magic assault pursued each of them till they were eliminated.
['Serafina (★★★★)'s Heaven's Eye has levelled up to level 2!]
All the enemies quickly regenerated once they were obliterated by my elemental assaults.
But they were immediately reduced to unrecognizable mush a second after.
They did not stand a chance against my overwhelming sorcery and could no longer put up a fight.
Even so, these enemies deserved more suffering.
They needed to pay for what they had done to us.
More…
Something more deadly than any element there was…
An absolute matter purposed only for destruction…
The deadliest element there was.
['Serafina (★★★★)' has obtained the skill, 'Aether Magic'!]
Shining black-and-white rays started raining down from the sky.
The shining pillars obliterated the enemies till they were nothing but droplets of flesh matter.
I used the purified energy to blast through the battlefield, creating a series of explosion which consumed all our enemies beyond the rise.
['Serafina (★★★★)'s Mana Shockwave has levelled up several times to level 10!]
['Serafina (★★★★)'s Mana Shockwave has evolved into Aether Blast!]
[Skill Awakened!]
[Hero 'Serafina (★★★★)'s Aether Magic and Aether Blast have been combined to create a new skill!]
['Serafina (★★★★)' has obtained the skill, 'Destructive Void Arts'!]
Time to end this.
I gathered all the elements to a single point in the sky, compressing them into one blazing core the size of a pebble.
Whoosh!
The core grew larger and larger as I channeled more power into it.
Once it adorned the heaven like a burning sun, I casted my gaze below, toward the chimera lying still on the ground, the source of our nightmare and sufferings.
[Die.]
I chanted as I released the restraint on the core, unleashing the force of a Seventh Circle spell.
[Skill Awakened!]
['Serafina (★★★★)' has obtained the skill, 'Ars Magna'!]
Zing!
The core descended fast onto the rise as a shining pillar which stretched from the clouds above.
It struck the chimera and obliterated the mutt's entire existence.
[Accomplishment Achieved!]
['Serafina (★★★★)' has obtained the skill, 'Demonslayer'!]
The assault was swift. Barely five seconds lasted before the pillar disappeared.
But the chimera was also nowhere to be found.
A large gaping circular hole was present in the chimera's place. The great chasm ran deep into the ground which turned the entire pillar rise hollow.
Familiar bluish-white light soon engulfed all my comrades and I.

Upon the mission's completion, I suddenly felt myself weakened.
The infinite source of energy within me swiftly drew away.
My giant silver wings dissipated into thin air. The hovering grimoire also vanished in a soft pool of light.
['Serafina (★★★★)'s exclusive skill Blessing of Malaikat is no longer activated!]
['Serafina (★★★★)' has fallen into a state of exhaustion. All stats have been reduced by 90%]
As I was falling back to the ground, my consciousness was rapidly drained from my body.
I eventually felt somebody catching me.
But great fatigue restrained my eyes from seeing who it was and sent me into a deep slumber.
