[Samurai Jacks point of view]
It's powerful, Ash's attack that is, but something doesn't feels right. As someone that had multiple sparring session with him, it feels strange. I understand if it feels nostalgic, and in a way, it kinda does, but something definitely amiss in his attack. It's rather lousy. He just throw one spell at a time rather than bombarding us all
"Blade of darkness!" [Bladel]
"Blade of wind" [Jacks]
"Arrow! Elemental barrage" [Naoto]
"Holy mana! Support them!" [Rumia]
"Ice. Bl.ck th*✓" [Ash?]
Just what is that language? I can't seems to understand it, but I can tell that's some kind of spell, as evidence of the ice wall blocking our slash attack. Even with Bladel heirloom sword of darkness, combine with my blessing from The Eternal Wind, with barrage of arrow from my fellow adventure, and to finally put the nail in the coffin, Saintess Rumia very own holy mana supporting us, it doesn't feels like we are putting in much work. One fact is of course, the lack of heroes from our side, making this battle a lot tougher, but it also undeniable, that despite his lack of change in appearance, he's becoming stronger
"!" [Rumia]
"Block him!" [Valkyrie A]
"We need to protect Saintess Rumia!" [Ram]
"Everyone! Support me!" [Borg]
"Hold him even if it's for a second!" [Syah]
"We got this!" [Spearman adventure]
"Holy Shield! Buff!" [Rumia]
Ash suddenly turn and attack Saintess Rumia, but we are grateful that this is such a concentrating demanding fight that all of us can instinctively tells his next move and start to simultaneously act without much of word. They rush to block an incoming attack from Ash's scythe, with ex guild master Ram and Borg holding their shield in place, supported by Saintess Rumia spell, all the while others are trying their best to block the deadly attack with their best might. It did manage to put a stop at Ash attack, but not for long as
"GAAH!" [Ram]
"Such power!" [Female elf adventure]
"He even blocked all your arrows" [Dwarf adventure]
"And Saintess Rumia!" [Bladel]
"Shit! Don't you dare!" [Naoto]
We all unconsciously rush toward the saintess, willingly taking her place if that's indeed possible, but
"Huh?" [Rumia]
(There's still a lingering of my mana on your body after all, but I can only use it few more times due to the limitations of my power. That... As well as Life itself blocking me...) [Angkasa]
Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.
"..." [Ash?]
Did Saintess Rumia know any Teleportation spell? I don't think so, which mean someone or something save her, and given how my blessing from the Holy Beast of Wind react rather calmly, it could only mean...
"C.m& her@" [Ash?]
Before we can reach and launch our attack, he once again, dash toward Saintess Rumia. Is there something that attracts him towards her? Maybe it's the same feeling that the half giant Zin described, that there was a voice, a beautiful voice telling her to kill Saintess Rumia. Maybe it was the same. But
"Valkyrie! Formation Ur!" [Bladel]
"Yosh! Ash! Get a taste of your own medicine! Earth trap!" [Valkyrie F]
"Giant wind palm" "I'll support you as well!" [Valkyrie G] [Jacks]
"Fill in the hole! Water magic: Acid!" [Valkyrie E]
"Everyone! Just throw your attack at Ash!" [Bladel]
"Don't worry about harming him! We all know this might even not be enough!" [Naoto]
"Sorry Ash! But we have to!" [Lin]
"Concentrate your attack!" [Syah]
And thus, in an attack that can be described as falling into the pit of hell itself, he's getting bombarded by spell after spell. He's the one that taught us chantless spell for free once, and now, we are paying him back in order to bring him back towards our side
"Expl.s!onx [Ash?]
But, in a twist that we all saw coming, he simply shrug it off with his Explosion magic. It did hurts him, but the miasma of the devil did in fact, protected him. Once again, he try to slash Saintess Rumia but
"Holy Mana! Purification!" [Rumia]
A strong holy mana blew Ash away, that's what we are hoping
""Got you!"" [Ash][Ash?]
"Huh?" [All]
What... What was that? Ash scythe was supposed to slice through Saintess Rumia, but he suddenly decided not to do that, instead aiming for his own skull, which understand, make him reflexively dodge his own incoming attack. He twisted his own arm and thus, the scythe ended up piercing the tip of his shoulder bone
"Saintess Rumia! Come with me!" [Valkyrie B]
"Right! Thank you!" [Rumia]
One of the Valkyrie, closest to Saintess Rumia quickly grab her, and flew away
"I don't know what exactly happened, but this is our chance!" [Ram]
"Attack him!" [Jacks]
"Don't be afraid! We can do this!" [Swordman adventure]
"Valkyrie! Coordinate your attack with the adventures! Formation Kaunan!" [Bladel]
"RIGHT!" [Valkyrie]
"Oh Goddess! Shield them all!" [Rumia]
Once again, a series of attack toward Ash is made, with Valkyrie from our rear end use a spell that further boosted our own spell. If some of us decided to use a flamethrower magic, a Valkyrie will use gust to further augment it. If we decided to use a physical attack, we were boosted with attack up spell. As for me
"Jacks! Use it well!" [Bladel]
"Thank you! I will!" [Jacks]
"I will create an opening! Go for it!" [Naoto]
Bladel uses her remaining custom made arrow, pact with various elements to quickly target Ash's Achilles tendon, causing barrage of elemental reaction, however
"Tchh! He simply ignore it..." [Naoto]
Even with his foot almost detached from the rest of the body, he keeps going (while the devilish miasma fix it up for him), as such, his speed is considerably lower, which allow me to
"Wind of darkness! Consume them all!" [Jacks]
"..." [Ash?]
Using one of my pupil favourite spell, I slash his spine, from the nape of neck all the way down, and having enough of all of this
"E.arth, Fire. Incinerate ,hs&#" [Ash?]
(With every bit of my mana) "Holy mana! Holiest shield" [Rumia]
""Watch out!!""[Rumia, Valkyrie B]
A column of tall earth pillar spawn, and with it, fire of hell broke out, consuming it all. The surrounding might be unrecognised, but if it wasn't for Saintess Rumia, shielding us all from the attack, we will be greeted by God of Death by now. That doesn't mean we are on a clear, far from it, as the miasma not only physically damage us, but it also enter our lung and crushes us from inside, suffocating us alongside the ash from materials being burn
"D.e" [Ash?]
This is no good, Ash is about to slice through Saintess Rumia
"Arrow of wind!" [Jacks]
Headshot! It knock him a bit, but it isn't enough to stop him, but rather
"Ice wall! Protect Saintess Rumia! Ice missile shark! Krakeny! Go!" [Charlotte]
A strong ice wall made by Charlotte save the day. Almost as Ash effortlessly slice through it. If it weren't for Krakeny pulling the Pegasus Saintess Rumia rode backwards, and her shark golem pushing Ash toward opposite direction, the outcome will be different
Alongside those twelve
"That's a nostalgic face..." [Saint Louis]
"Ash..." [Linda]
"To think we will fight him today out of all day" [Alaric]
"Fate really do work on a strange way" [Aries]
"Still, his aura..." [Anjin]
"Sinister that is" [Kucin]
"I guess we have no choice but to give everything if we want to save him. Plus, considering others are out of commission, we have to..." [Khamishah]
And the last one to make her appearance
"Qis, along with my other vampire guards, evacuate them all" [Diana]
"Roger!" [Qis, Vampire Guard]
And they started to do their job
""You guys..."" [Ash?][Ash]
"It's been so long. Ash" [Diana]
