"What?!"
"Hey! Azuma?!"
But Azuma had already melted into the ground and disappeared. Kain Hikaru cursed inwardly and immediately pulled out a strand of hair, rubbing it on a doll.
The moment he inserted it into the doll, Kain Hikaru couldn't help but have teary eyes. He had finally succeeded....
"Self-Enhancement · Speed!!!"
Kain Hikaru shouted out joyfully, then his body emitted a faint light, and he sped away like a stream of light, disappearing into the distance.
Rustyrose, hearing Azuma's reminder, also sensed something was wrong. The super-large Dark Magic formation on the ground was gathering Magic too quickly. Without time to think, Rustyrose stepped on his Pegasus Wings and flew as far away as possible.
However, his speed could not compare to Azuma, who had melted into the ground, or Kain Hikaru, who had enhanced his speed and was like a stream of light.
Feeling the Magic gathering more and more behind him, Rustyrose couldn't help but look back.
Looking down from the sky...
The Jushi Mountains, which had been half destroyed, were covered by the super-huge Dark Magic formation, and the continuously created Despair Demons were swarming towards the center of the formation.
A terrifying thought suddenly arose in Rustyrose's mind.
Lord Hades, he's not planning to blow this place up, is he?
Holy s***!!
Rustyrose's scalp tingled. It wasn't impossible, was it?!
No, run!
He had witnessed the power of that thing. A few Despair Demons had sent Azuma running. The swarm rushing towards the center of the formation numbered at least a hundred...
Rustyrose didn't dare to delay and used all his strength to speed through the air.
But even though the Pegasus Wings materialized at his ankles could carry him in flight, his speed just wouldn't pick up.
At this moment...
Buzz—
A silver-white Magic formation appeared in front of Rustyrose.
Gar appeared in the air in front of Rustyrose.
Rustyrose was startled and raised his hand to materialize a Golden Shield in front of him, but a sudden chill came from behind, and someone pressed on his back. Rustyrose couldn't help but be terrified:
"Wh-...."
He had just twisted his neck to look back.
Crack, crack, crack, crack—
Ice continuously spread over his body, and in an instant, he was frozen inside a block of ice.
Ur had also been teleported into the air at some point, appearing behind Rustyrose and directly freezing him.
Gar stepped forward and placed his hand on the block of ice, carving a sealing formation into it.
Rustyrose, who had not yet lost consciousness inside the ice block, instantly had his mind go blank, and his vision plunged into darkness.
Gar and Ur, one in front and one behind, pressed on the ice block that sealed Rustyrose. Then Gar activated his Magic and instantly disappeared from the air.
Above the Jushi Mountains.
Gildarts stood in the air, unleashing all his Magic without any reservation. Pale white Magic overflowed from his body, soaring into the sky, converging all the Magic onto his right arm, which glowed with white light.
The rings of amplification on his five fingers trembled slightly. Gildarts stomped his foot.
He appeared a hundred meters above Hades.
Without any hesitation, he raised his right arm high and directly Locked-On to Hades:
"All-Out · Crush!!!"
A sonic boom suddenly exploded in the sky.
Gildarts, carrying a dense, almost solid column of pale white Magic light, descended from the sky and smashed down.
Hades' expression hardened. He stopped controlling the Heavenly Punishment formation on the ground, raised his hand, and aimed at the sky:
"Shadow of Everlasting Darkness."
A pitch-black absorption Magic formation appeared, colliding with the column of pale white Magic light.
The next second...
Crack!
A crisp sound rang out. Hades' pupils contracted.
He saw that the Magic formation, which had just been able to absorb Gildarts' Magic, was now shattered with a single blow.
How is that possible?
Hades didn't have time to think about why Gildarts' Magic intensity had suddenly increased so much, because Gildarts' fist had already smashed down.
Hades raised his right hand, holding his staff, and thrust it forward.
Layers of Demon barriers were added above his body, but they were quickly shattered one by one.
He was being pushed down to the ground by Gildarts.
A cold light flashed in Hades' eyes. The Magic he cast was also not slow, layering on top of each other to resist the fist Gildarts was smashing down.
Seeing this, the Despair Demons on the ground all rushed forward, running towards the location where the two were falling.
Hades' voice rang out:
"Demon's Touch!"
The Despair Demons running towards this location suddenly stopped in place, then their bodies rapidly stretched upwards, transforming into huge black-purple tentacles, attacking Hades at an extremely fast speed.
Huge black-purple tentacles surrounded them from all directions, as if a giant birdcage was covering the area.
As Gildarts pressed Hades down to the ground...
Pale white Magic erupted from the ground, spreading outwards like a towering white pillar. Countless twisting, black-purple giant tentacles paused and began to be annihilated.
Suddenly...
All the black-purple giant tentacles lit up simultaneously.
Instant detonation!
It was as if a sun had risen from the ground.
Continuous energy, scorching energy, spread outwards, and a violent pressure squeezed towards the center.
In the center of the rising sun, there was a towering pillar of pale white Magic, swaying unsteadily, disintegrating everything around it, resisting the extreme energy generated by the explosion.
After a moment, the towering pillar of pale white Magic was the first to give out.
It was squeezed and annihilated by the violent Magic.
And the explosion, which had no power to resist inside, became even more violent.
Boom—!!!!
The Ishgar Continent... had an earthquake.
