The giant cat's face was filled with horror, as he quickly overcharged his entire body with all the power he could unleash, channeling the soul of Fenrir himself.
"GROOOOOAAAAARRRRRRR!!!"
FLAAAASH!
His dark aura merged with the divine powers of Fenrir's divine protection, turning gray and then golden, shaping into a ferocious, roaring wolf!
"AWOOOOOOO!"
A gigantic beam of darkness and light emerged from Kuro's jaws, impacting Julio's Darkest Moon and then slowly beginning to overwhelm it with his own energies!
CRAAAAAAAAASSSHHHHHH!!!!
RUMBLE!
The entire skies started to tremble. However, unexpectedly, Darkest Moon suddenly began to dissipate into nothingness in midair, and was incapable of impacting the city.
"G-Graaahhh…" Kuro felt his entire soul tearing down due to the enormous force he had to unleash, his legs suddenly broke and he fell into the snow, looking at Julio's surprised face.
"Oh, you're pretty strong." Julio laughed. "Well, that's a pity. Did that really got you tired? [Darkest Moon]"
FLUOOOOSH!
However, just like that, another Darkest Moon appeared. And then another, and another, and another… filling the entire sky with enormous black spheres of darkness. A level of magical power only comparable with Maria.
Meanwhile, Kuro noticed how his army of Undead were all incinerated by gigantic fireballs and meteors falling from the sky, conjured by Anastasia in the back, her eyes glowing redder with anticipation.
"Julio, stop playing around and destroy everything already." She sighed, crossing her arms. "You know what? I'll help too. [Overpowering Sun]"
FLUOOOOSH!
A gigantic sphere of flames emerged in the skies, as it slowly started moving towards the city. Her laughter started spreading across the battlefield.
"Kahahahaha! Look, your shitty town's about to be burned to a crisp!" Claw laughed, still fighting against Darkbound.
Darkbound had grown very strong and could probably stop the Heroes… only in one against one fights. Already being on his limits against an S Rank as an S- Rank, every time he tried to go help Kuro and the rest, he was once more stopped by Claw, who threw him back into the ground.
He was very durable, but he simply couldn't be in all places at the same time. Which only filled him with more and more frustration…
"GRUOOOHHHHH! MOVE ASIDE!"
Darkbound roared, suddenly unleashing a gigantic amount of Dark and Phantom Power coming from his sword, channeling the divinity of Hel herself and swinging his sword against Claw when he least expected it!
"[Abyssal Fall]!!!"
SLAAAAAAAAAAASSSHHHHHH!!!
"Unnngggh?! T-This power… You're channeling divintyyyyy?! GRUAAAAGGGGHH….!" Claw was incapable of intercepting the attack in time, as his entire chest was sliced apart and he was thrown into the snow.
TRUUUUUUMMMMMM…!
The attack continued through the skies, reaching the Overpowering Sun from Anastasia and then all of the Darkest Moons from Julio, blasting them all in the skies, generating loud, chaotic explosions everywhere.
BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOOM! BOOOOOM!
"I won't let you destroy my home…! Not until my liege comes back!!!" Darkbound roared, quickly leaping towards Anastasia, and clashing against her!
CLAAASSSSHHH!!!
A pink colored barrier easily protected her from harm, as she looked at the furious skeleton with a bored expression.
"Your struggles are futile. [Flare Explosion]"
BOOOOOOOMMMMM!!!!
"GRUUAAAGH…!"
Darkbound was suddenly engulfed in an enormous blazing explosion, being blown away from Anastasia's side in mere seconds.
BAAAM!
"Unnggh…" Darkbound fell into the floor, slowly standing up only to be greeted by Claw who had a really nasty wound on his chest.
"You're going to pay for that, bitch." Claw roared, his aura suddenly surging, resembling a ferocious wolf as several gigantic aura claws made out of his own developing divinity fell over Darkbound, constantly slashing, crushing, and tearing him apart!
CRASH! CRASH! CRASH! CRAAASH!
"Unngh! Agh! No… NOT YET!!!" Darkbound roared, unleashing a gigantic aura of power all around him and throwing Claw away.
BAAAAAMMM!!!
Darkbound rushed towards Julio once more, who was about to destroy Kuro with his sword.
"KUROOO!!!"
Julio smiled back at Darkbound as Anastasia and Claw attacked Darkbound from behind, with flames and gigantic claws made of aura.
"Seems like your efforts will be for nothing~"
CLAAASH!
The sword pierced through Kuro's chest, cracking his magic crystal.
Crack… crack…
"Gryyyaaaggh! Raaaarrrrggh!"
Kuro screamed in agony as his soul was beginning to shatter apart alongside his magic crystal.
"NO…! STOP!" Darkbound cried, as gigantic meteors fell over him after he was slashed by Claw's wrathful attacks.
BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOOMMM!!!
"Why don't you stay quiet for a little while?" Anastasia sighed.
"Well done, Anastasia." Laughed Julio, piercing deeper into Kuro's magic crystal.
"Gryyyaaarrrrrgghh!"
"Just kill that thing already." Anastasia sighed. "You're so disgusting sometimes."
"What's wrong with seeing it suffer a little bit? It makes you appreciate the life you're taking…" Julio laughed, his eyes growing redder.
"Oh yeah? Then don't mind me if I make you suffer before killing you."
TRUUUUUMMMM…!
A gigantic palm emerged from the skies, made entirely out of moonlight!
"H-Huh?"
Julio was left flabbergasted, before the palm fell from the skies, impacting the ground, shattering it and generating an enormous hole deep underground where Julio was pushed.
BAAAAAAAAMMMMM!!!
"UUUAAAGGGH…!"
Not only that, the powerful Divine Moonlight that made this palm burned his skin alive and started slowly shattering his soul apart.
CRAAAAAASSSHHHHHHH!!!
Once the palm disappeared, the entire ground shattered even more, the bedrock started cracking apart, generating countless cracks in the shape of spiderwebs.
And Julio was left there, half-dead, his armor was shattered into pieces. His bones were broken, his skin burned, his eyes were bleeding, he could barely breathe…
"H-Hahhh… W-Wha… Ungh…! W-Wha…?!"
He was still wondering who it was. What even attacked him, and from where?!
"W-What was that?!" Anastasia panicked. For a moment, she felt as if the presence of a god had appeared amidst the skies.
The figure of a woman made of pink and purple light emerged amidst the skies. Alongside another made of a swarm of insects, and then another made of darkness, and lastly, one made of poison.
They all shared the same beautiful appearance, but were much different from one another as they were the same person, Maria.
"That's what you get for hurting my Kuro."
