Chapter 2251 Desperate Battle
-----
Kireina"s black hammer swung down, the powerful Soul Weapon she had acquired from her Fallen Angel Bloodline, Metatron!
"[Black Heaven"s Judgement]!"
By imbuing the hammer with demonic energy and essence, and unleas.h.i.+ng one of its abilities, the impact that the huge black hammer caused upon contact made the Recessed"s entire body tremble.
BOOOM!
An explosion of pure chaos and corrupted holy energies. .h.i.t Kashten head-on, his entire body gaining hundreds of cracks as he began falling into pieces slowly.
"Uuaggh!"
With a furious roar of agony, he quickly regrew new arms, swinging them against Kireina and attempting to crush her with as many blows as he could.
BAAM! BAAM! BAAM!
Yet Kireina was unscathed, her triple-layered armor protected her from most of the damage, while she continued hitting him with her hammer, explosions of chaos being unleashed every time she used Black Heaven"s Judgement.
Kashten, who was proud of his own defenses, was now being overwhelmed! There was something within Kireina and Gaby"s attacks that simply ignored his defenses. And it was the effects of various skills and equipment they had.
Defense Ignoration was a great weakness against fully defensive specializers, as it could quickly negate their only power with ease. Kashten specialized in defense most than anybody else.
"ARGH…! DAMMIT!"
Kashten roared furiously, his Cosmic Domain suddenly compacting and transforming, becoming a long giant sword he swung against Kireina and then against Gaby.
CLAAAs.h.!.+
As he did, he modified his legs to spin into the ground constantly, using his deadly sword to cut through anything in front of him.
"Wait, he can spin?!" Gaby asked.
"Gaby, step back!" Kireina roared.
"RAAAH!"
Kashten furiously spun towards Gaby, his speed increasing proportionally to his own defenses, hitting Gaby as the Mershark used her swords and her armor to defend.
BAAAM!
However, she was thrown away like a ragdoll anyways, the impact"s force enough to even shatter a mountain into pieces with a single blow. The sword itself was also deadly, as Kireina managed to barely twist s.p.a.ce to move Gaby just a centimeter away from getting sliced into two halves.
"You d.a.m.ned Recessed are always a pain in the a.s.s to kill, can"t you just die already?!"
Kireina had already battled two Recessed, and in both cases she had suffered against their relentless attacks and endless stamina. Even if you cut them into pieces, sliced them into two halves, or more, Recessed would either regenerate or transform, it was incredibly hard to kill them with a few blows.
And Kashten, who was even tankier than Ashatath and Erdretoth combined was bound to be just as hardy and annoying to kill! Kireina didn"t lose her composure though, as she saw Gaby quickly jump into the battle just as she was. .h.i.t.
"Kireina, attack it with everything you"ve got, I"ll restrain him!"
Gaby summoned her Maelstroms again, combined with Thunderstorm and Megalodon Jaws-shaped Void Cosmic Energies, it clashed against Kashten like an endless wave!
SPLAAAs.h.!.+
"UUGH…!"
Kashten felt his body beginning to slowly be grinded again, piece by piece. However, the b.a.s.t.a.r.d rapidly started regenerating again while moving against Gaby"s strongest ability.
"Once I can finally grab you with my hands, I"m going to make sure to CRUSH YOU!"
Kashten approached Gaby further, as Gaby imbued Void into her swords and retaliated with powerful slas.h.i.+ng blows, Kashten"s arms were sliced off again, yet he regrew another pair again faster than Gaby imagined!
"Did you thought I took time to regenerate? It was all façade so you would lower your guard! KAHAHA!"
His giant hands reached Gaby before she could move!
Yet…
CLAs.h.!.+
"Ugh?!"
Kashten was shocked to see Gaby being protected by a small temple of sorts, made of converging spiritual, cosmic, and elemental powers that had been summoned out of nowhere.
To make things worse, the moment he hit it, an explosion of elemental cosmic magic hit him back, blowing up his arms and parts of his torso!
BOOOM!
"UAAGH!"
Kashten stepped back as he couldn"t believe what had happened! Was there any barrier strong enough to withstand his fists powered with his Cosmic Domain?
"You like that? It"s a new trick I got."
This was Kireina"s newest Fusion Skill, the [Heavenly Demonic Elemental Spirit Sanctuary Manifestation: Pandemonium]! It was created using mostly offensive magic spell skills, yet once it was made, it gained the unprecedented ability to defend by protecting those inside of its sanctuary.
"Trick?!"
Kashten had little patience; he had already been toyed enough! With a furious roar, he quickly started growing even larger, fusing with his own Cosmic Domain to strengthen himself to his utmost limits!
"No f.u.c.king trick will work on my absolute power!"
CRAs.h.!.+
With a furious attack, his giant arms. .h.i.t the sanctuary where Gaby was, cracks appeared, but as he hit it, an explosion of elements erupted, his arms, and even his upper body.
Exploded!
BOOOM!
Winds, fire, darkness, light, ice, and other combined elements erupted from all the cracks formed over his arms and body, Kashten was unable to comprehend the logic behind Kireina"s ability!
"M-My body…!"
He was obviously still alive, his torso and head being destroyed didn"t mean anything, as he quickly started sprouting more and more arms and heads out of his wounds, looking more aberrant and less humanoid.
"YOU"LL PAY FOR THIS!"
He quickly directed his jeweled eyes against Kireina, countless beams of many colors being fired at her, she ran through the explosions, swinging her hammer and her axe, mammon, explosions of chaos, corrupted holy light, and demonic flames of l.u.s.t, greed, wrath, and gluttony consumed his entire body.
At the same time, Gaby wasn"t standing there doing nothing, she already learned how Kireina"s Skill worked, quickly using its powers to further boost her magical abilities. She combined the Pandemonium"s Sanctuary with her Elemental and Cosmic Powers, overwhelming Kashten from behind with a storm of elemental attacks.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
As hard as Kashten tried to fight, he was already at his limits, his soul was being constantly hurt, and Kireina, with each blow, further devoured and weakened his Cosmic Domain.
He was falling into pieces, growing weaker faster and faster…
"N-NO! This can"t be…! Father Sun!"
In a last and desperate resort, his s.h.i.+ning golden and black soul surged from his body, creating a giant ma.s.s of energies.
"I"LL TAKE YOU DOWN WITH MEEEE!"
Kashten attempted to kill Kireina and Gaby alongside himself.
