—Earth Grudge Fear: Sacred Artifact Seizure!
The great sword and armor of Izuna's Susanoo rapidly melted into purplish-red liquid, seeping into the Earth Grudge Fear tendrils!
Rustle, rustle, rustle...!
As the tendrils retracted, they tore away the muscles of Izuna's Susanoo along with them! Only a skeleton remained, exposed beneath the Wooden Human!
