As Chella is about to be engulfed in the giant white sphere, something has happen. But neither her nor Leonidas would call it a miracle. Something hidden deep inside her once agains rises in the emergency. Gracing the both of them is a young maiden who dresses exactly like Chella with the distinct differences are the black hair and dark red eyes. To Chella, it is her.

"Seraphim! Why are you..."

"You were in danger, I had no choice."

In front of Chella is her so-called alter ego blocking the giant sphere with one hand. With a mere movement of her arm, the sphere is thrown into far above and explodes. The monstrous man looks at the new arrival with amusement on the contrary to the greenie's concern.

"Ahahaha! You're fascinating. May I know your name?"

"Don't speak to me, you brute."

"Feisty. Maybe you're the one that could sate me. How about we spar while that girl over there rests?"

"Disgusting. I'm here to protect her, not to get a pet."

"That DOESN'T change that fact that we will spar."

Leonidas leaps forward, launching himself as Seraphim. She fearlessly does the same. One thing to mention, Chella almost tired herself out despite being able to keep up with Leonidas's barrage of punches. Their different in size and physical prowess wasn't too much but still concerning. There's also his ferocity and tendencies to be obsessed with fighting which makes him resilient. At least she was able to trap him in her mind, though he could still use his Addition due to his berserk nature.

Seraphim unlike Chella, has a penchant for offense when it comes down to her Addition - Brain Breaker. She's like someone born to face off against those with strong mentality. One would call her Chella's robust mode, yet she's more of a cold person and not as eccentric as Chella. Had it not been for this alter ego of her, she wouldn't have survived with just self-taught combat.

Chella herself only recently learned about Seraphim's existence. A normal person would be terribly confused about this, identifying the phenomenon as mental disorder. But Chella had always felt lonely before venturing from her shelter. Until she set out of her shelter and found some human companions. Now Seraphim is also an ally to her despite her dubious origins that she didn't get to learn.

Chella stands still to take quick breaks as she observes the other two in her mindscape to exchange aggressive hand movements. Leonidas once against plays with his prey, not even attempting to use his technique earlier again. Even from far away, she could feel the intense force emitting with every milisecond of fists clashing. Which means Seraphim's mentality might be on par with her opponent.

Deciding that it's time to stop playing around, Leonidas launches multitude of white beams from his mouth. To the red-eyed girl, this is nothing difficult. She dodges left and right, swiftly evading each every beam that passed through her. She immediately makes a counter attack, lounging herself at the man and kicks him in the face. But he's fast enough to react and has already blocked with his arms. Does that stop her? No, she puts more force into her kick. In the mental realm, one with high will could achieve many feats and such is included. Leonidas is knocked meters away despite holding his stance firmly. He notes that this girl has more focus than Chella, thrilled to see if she really is the one rumored to have defeated many underlings of the Apex Legion.

Seraphim, with a mentality of a war machine, is analyzing him in order to pinpoint his blind spot. One advantage she has is that when she uses her Addition in the mindscape, it isn't as costly as when she directly take control of Chella's body in th real world. Yet, not using it in the right level could cause severe conscequences due to Chella has yet to master her ability.

The two of them each has a different Addition yet similiar in type. Chella's ability is more of a backdoor while hers is robust. Due to two different identities residing in one body, one will grow through the development of the other. Perhaps they were meant to walk on the same path, covering each other's back. The coexistence of the two brings forth a powerful adversary to those who stand before them, and that is exactly what Seraphim has in mind.

Without needing to be told, Chella immediately comes over to Seraphim's side.

"There's a lot of things I wanted to ask you... but we've got to kick his butts first."

"I will... when we see each other again."

"That's a promise."

"Two against one? Not that I mind."

The two girls spread left and right, forcing the proud lion to resort to an AOE attack. He propels himself up in the air by screaming into the ground, pushing himself upward with a white beam. Then he takes a deep breath, emitting barrages of white beams downward.

"Vocal Vulcan!"

Both the green haired and black haired girls make efforts to dodge the tracjectories of the incoming beams. One barely passes through Chella's torso. Despite the aggressive attack, the opportunity seems to have shown up. They keep dashing forward, preparing to hit him again. Leonidas thinks to himself that it is foolish of them to believe that he can't evade while in midair. But they don't seem to have such a guess in mind, only Seraphim leaps off and gives him a punch. Expectedly, he dodges it using the force of his scream. As intends to kick her from above, she instantly blocks it off with her arm. And then it is Chella's turn to kick him from behind, making him fall over to the ground.

For the next attack, Chella used Seraphim as a platform to leap off with another kick ready to greet the man. But he blows her away with an ear-shattering scream. Stuck in the current momentum, Chella lets Seraphim do the hitting. Leonidas attempts to hit her with a blast of scream only to be blocked by a barrier. She has manifested her mentality as a force, aiding her in the fight. The man does not give up however, he puts more force into his attack while she does her best to straight up tank it.

Two oppressive forces are fiercely clashing against each other, none wishes to yield to the other. This is basically the might of two Apexes, both wielding their own offensive capabilities. Seraphim's expression remains neutral despite her subtle struggles. Leonidas only feels thrilled, in the mental realm one could do thieir best depending on the willpower. Both keep their stances, one rerentlessly attacks while the other holds dearly to her defense. Chella knows better than to intercept the phenomenal reaction between to forces.

Finally they both stop and back away from their respective position. Chella comes to Seraphim, the two of them will try something out for the first time and forever. They will combine their powers in order to defeat the guy.

With that said, they hold hands and extend their free hands forward, focusing on that one enemy that they must... no, will take down. Each of them emit a beam from their hand, the two beams intertwine and merge into one large beam flying towards the Lion. Of course he responds with a concentrated and continous blast of scream. One again the ground shakens thanks to sheer impact. Chella's precise control combined with Seraphim's concentrated power has allowed them to reach a new level of strength, though this is only in the mindscape. Instead of stopping and dissipating, both blasts grow even larger. Not long after that, both girls have started to slightly feel the strains of extending their limits. Yet it won't stop them, nothing else will either.
