Even with their entire power halved, the Heroes weren't going to give up. Yes, Raghidonte's powers were incredibly strong, and something they had never faced before, however, at this point, they weren't going to step back when the life of the people of Agartha were in danger.
"Half True Demon or whatever, you're still just one oversized bug!!!" Nepheline roared, with the power of several Earth Spirits fused into her body flowing through her.
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
Her giant fists continued attacking Raghidonte with everything she had. The gigantic demonic bug started stepping back, wondering why the Heroes were still fighting back so relentlessly even after seemingly showing them a fight they couldn't win!
But he had underestimated them severely. Having their power halved didn't meant they were going to become small fries. The experiences they underwent, the challenges they overcame… everything counts.
And such things cannot be halved, or reduced, no matter what trick he uses.
BAAAM!
"Unnnggh!" Raghidonte groaned, falling into the floor as Nepheline overwhelmed him for a few seconds.
Her body had completely transformed, as she used the power of [Gaia's Embodiment] allowed Nepheline to unlock most of her potential, while also fusing with all her Earth attribute Spirits at once.
This transformed her into a true titan, with overwhelming power that could even go 1v1 against the strongest Tier 10 Monsters out there, or even, beings beyond that… Even as her total power was halved, the great quantities of spiritual energy and mana flowing across her body through this power were incredibly high.
The debuff she received was lethal, but as she was constantly buffing herself using this temporary transformation, she was able to overcome it for a few seconds.
"[Gaia's Rage]!!!" Nepheline roared, her muscular and gigantic body spread out her enormous arms, as countless spears the size of dozens of meters surged out of her own body, made of metal and diamonds, and impacting against Raghidonte with everything she had!
CRAASH! CRAASH! CRAAASH! CRAAAASH!
"UUUAAGGGH…! NNGGHH…?! S-SUCH POWER…!"
Raghidonte roared in fury, trying to resist the enormous, overwhelming, and seemingly endless attacks as countless spikes made of metal and diamonds constantly attempted to pierce through his incredibly hard shell, even though even the diamonds were shattering into pieces.
However, slowly, small cracks started appearing across his arms and chest, Allan and Shade did not slack either, as Shade constantly conjured shadow and abyssal tentacles, cursed chains, and anything else that could restrain him.
"[Thousand Dimensional Slashes]!" Shade roared, half of is body transformed into his Abyssal Embodiment, as he looked like he was slowly melting into shadows with countless red eyes.
SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!
He unleashed thousands of slashes using his two daggers against Raghidonte, targeting his cracks and slowly beginning to slice through them, opening the wounds more and more!
"M-My impenetrable defense…!" Raghidonte roared. "You damn human!"
He swung his massive fist, hitting Shade faster than him, now that Shade as debuffed, his speed wasn't as good as before!
CLAAAASH!
"Uuaaaggh…!"
BAAM!
Shade fell into the floor, vomiting a mouthful of blood, Nepheline panicked, roaring furiously, despite growing much more tired as her Mana Regeneration speed had been decreased by -80%, further adding the pain of only having half her actual mana now.
"YOUUUU!!!"
Her right fist suddenly grew several times its normal size, growing diamonds and metal spikes and then punching back at Raghidonte with everything she had!
CRAAAAAASSSHH!!!
"ARRGH…!"
However, Raghidonte tanked the hit with his face while grabbing Nepheline's arm and then beginning to twist it with his gigantic, muscular arms, attempting to slowly crack it and tear it apart.
Crack… crack…!
"UURRRGH, YOU BASTARD!!!"
Nepheline roared with all her lungs, punching the giant Raghidonte with her other fist several times, bearing with the agony of he bones braking and her muscles being torn apart, trying to deal as much damage as possible.
"[Blazing Phoenix Sword]!"
Allan, in the other side, unleashed all his phoenix flames at once, falling from the skies towards Raghidonte, and managing to pierce through his back with a blazing explosion!
SLAAAASH! BOOOOOMMMM!!!!
The flames engulfed all of Raghidonte's body, but he only laughed. Allan's sword barely pierced through his exoskeleton and was now stuck on its tip!
"Hahahaha! Is this all you've got to offer, heroes?!"
Crack… crack…!
"AARRRGH!"
"RAAAHHH!!!"
Nepheline and Allan roared, attacking Raghidonte with everything they had while Faylen constantly healed them and fired rays of magic, but her Mana was surprisingly running low as the debuff hit her the hardest.
"Hahhh… Dammit…" Faylen muttered, gasping for air. "Mother… Please… help us!" Faylen cried, asking her own mother for help.
However, the Queen was paralyzed in fear, seeing the battle scene in horror as she was sitting on the floor, trembling.
"I-I… F-Faylen I…" The Queen seemed to be going through a terrible panic attack.
The little Zephy glanced at the scene, behind his own mother, as she gasped for air and slowly began growing weaker, her grandmother panicking, and his sister rushing to fight the unbeatable enemy that not even his father was able to kill.
"Hahhh… Ugh…" Faylen continued groaning in pain, her Mana continued emptying. She suddenly fell to her knees.
"Mom!" Zephyrus cried, hugging her.
"M-my son…" Faylen cried. "I'm sorry… For being such… an incompetent person…"
As the aura that Raghidonte exuded lasted longer, everyone inside the surrounding area grew much weaker. It not only weakened their strength, drained their mana, and all of that, but it even started slowly decreasing their stamina, vitality, and taking away their own life.
However, Zephyrus seemed completely… fine. In fact, he was unaffected by this power, somehow. Faylen noticed this, but it wasn't as if he could do much, he was just a child, and not near as strong as Sylphy was at his age.
"Where is your sister? S-Sylphy?!" Faylen, in her daze, finally realized that her daughter was not close to her at all and was rushing with all her friends towards Raghidonte! "What are you doing, SYLPHY?! Don't get closer to that Monster!!!"
However, Sylph did not listen to her mother, as her Familiars were all summoned around her, granting her part of their powers through their contracts, and Nephilim as well.
FLAAAAAASH!
An enormous divine aura surged from within Nephilim, so bright and powerful that even Raghidonte noticed it.
