Angels and Demons

After Imu appeared, he first saved all Five Elders, allowing them to continue fighting.

This is also one of his abilities: to not only grant greater power to those who have made a contract with him, but also to repair their bodies.

Thus, the Five Elders returned to their original appearance and began the second round of battle with the Quincy.

Clang! Clang clang clang~

The sound of hammering echoed repeatedly.

Nusjuro's Black Blade struck repeatedly, so fast that afterimages appeared, one after another, the sound never ceasing.

His target was a large robot.

"Can that cold air still corrode my machine?" John controlled the robot in battle, noticing its movements slowing down.

Suddenly!

Nusjuro's upper body transformed back into Bakotsu, and his long limbs ran, or rather, trampled, on the robot's massive body.

The robot waved its hands, but couldn't catch them.

"Second Transmutation!"

John used his powers to move the metal parts off the robot, cut away other areas, and rebuilt the arms—several mechanical hands.

These heavy arms made of iron formed an impenetrable defensive network.

They were swatting at it frantically, like swatting a fly!

Although it inevitably hit itself, creating a huge boom, it successfully hindered the enemy.

Bakotsu originally intended to decapitate the robot, but when he reached only its chest, he made a sudden change, transforming his upper body into an old man wielding a knife.

He raised his hand and unleashed a freezing slash, striking the robot's body, the ice sealing the wound once more.

After the first strike, he switched hands, preparing to continue hacking.

Suddenly, the air became the Heat.

"Taste my explosive bomb!"

Ganzui hovered above the robot, his glowing wings hurling numerous bombs downwards, targeting Nusjuro, but also engulfing the robot.

"Damn it..." John's subsequent curses were drowned out by the explosion, and black smoke billowed from the robot's upper body.

Tap tap tap~ Tap tap tap~

Nusjuro landed and continued running, his hind leg blown off, but it quickly healed itself.

He charged towards another person.

Bang!

A green Reishi flew in, Nusjuro raised his long sword, slicing the bullet in half.

He then sheathed his sword and began to gather his strength.

"Why are you bothering me again!"

Keel fired his twin pistols rapidly, but each Reishi, before it could even hit its target, was sliced open by the opponent's knife, exploding into thin air.

Thanks to the Bakotsu's powerful running ability, the distance between the two rapidly closed.

Brake!

Nusjuro drew his sword, the arc of the blade stirring the air.

Keel used his Hirenkyaku to quickly create distance, while simultaneously turning his gun to attempt to aim.

But Nusjuro suddenly accelerated, his body charging forward and slashing upwards with his sharp, hard longsword, which cut directly into Keel's body!

Slap slap!!

The bullet exploded before it was fired, severing half of the gun barrel, and Keel's body stiffened abruptly.

"How can this be? It doesn't feel solid..."

Nusjuro frowned, feeling as if he had struck thin air, but Keel's twin pistols were indeed cleaved in two by his sword.

The next second, multiple beams of light illuminated Nusjuro, as if he had been photographed by a searchlight.

Bang bang bang!

The flesh was pierced through, and all the blood and flesh were obliterated!

Nusjuro's vision went black as his right shoulder, abdomen, and left thigh... these three parts of his body vanished, replaced by a cylindrical opening.

Keel lowered his hands, and his six wings flapped gently behind him, the holes on the surface of the wings facing Nusjuro.

"My real guns are actually my wings. Look, they're all aimed at you!" Keel said with a mocking expression.

"An opening!" Taking advantage of the moment, Nusjuro drew his sword with one hand, the blade aimed straight for Keel's neck.

Bang!!

He missed?! Nusjuro was taken aback.

His knife grazed Keel's neck, but Keel's neck remained unharmed.

He recalled the gunshot; no bullet was fired, and anyone would have assumed it was a blank shot, but his knife broke instead.

This all happened in a mere instant.

The instant Nusjuro drew his sword, Keel deliberately aimed at the sword in his hand and fired, severing Nusjuro's sword in two from the blade.

The broken piece of the blade flew away with Nusjuro's swing, shortening its length and causing it to miss its target.

Nusjuro coughed up blood and transformed into a horse's head to bite Keel, perhaps to prove that there are other ways to attack besides swords.

But Keel reached out and pressed him down, looking down at him with an expression as if he were looking at another species. "Truly ugly. Compared to us, the Five Elders are nothing but a bunch of ugly and filthy demons."

"The Quincy are false angels!" Bakotsu roared, opening his maw. "We are the gods of this sea! True and proud!"

"Wrong! The Quincy are far more holy, true messengers of God!" Keel's voice rose, his face filled with fanaticism as he shouted, "Give you sinners judgment!"

"Aaaaaaahhhhh~!"

Kaido the Roar, his hands gripping the thick tooth tightly, his wings flapping on his back, and his feet carving two furrows in the ground.

It's Fengxi! Kaido is currently locked in combat with it!

It seems that Kaido is at a disadvantage, but in reality, as Kaido gradually increases his strength...

Fengxi, on the contrary, could not withstand it and was forced to retreat step by step under Kaido's terrifying strength.

How could that be? This brat...

How can someone possess such immense power!

Fengxi was surprised, knowing that he was much bigger than Kaido. His limbs, which were firmly planted on the ground, could not support him and he appeared somewhat unsteady.

Puff puff puff!

Suddenly, a faint whooshing sound came from the air.

Kaido out of the corner of his eye and saw several small, purplish-black balls flying in from who-knows-where.

Kaido didn't know, but Fengxi did; it was Gyuki's venom attack, which would cause a very violent explosion upon impact.

Fengxi roared and forcefully lowered his body.

He wanted to stall Kaido and let Kaido take the hits, but he may have forgotten that he had teammates to support him, while Kaido even more teammates.

"Interceptor Shell!"

Several shells were fired from another direction, exploding just before they reached the target. The explosions engulfed the Gyuki's venom, causing it to detonate prematurely.

Although Gyuki provided support, the price he paid was that he was pinned to the ground and violently shaken by Newgate, who was acting as his opponent, causing him to lose all his beard.

Then, Gloriosa decisively flew over and unleashed a Love Beam, shooting it directly into the Gyuki.

It's really strange to be loved by such a monstrous old man... Gloriosa thought to herself, though she wasn't sure if it would work.

Maron took Kaido, then looked around to carefully feel the tremors in the ground.

It's Sandworm; Sandworm move underground.

Heavenly Fire! The gloomy sky has turned red, as it Itsumade that are attacking.

Maron stood still, and a giant charged out.

Wow!!

The flames were blocked and exploded, some landing on the ground and burning, others flying onto Loki.

"It's healed?" Maron glanced at Loki's hands and feet. The wounds that Imu had severed had disappeared, and new hands and feet had grown back.

"More than enough!" Loki grinned, swatting out the flames clinging to his body with his shield-covered hand.

At that moment, the ground collapsed, and a gaping maw shot out. The Sandworm thought it had found a good opportunity and prepared to swallow Loki and Maron whole.

However, Loki reacted very quickly, spreading his wings to stay afloat and then using his hands to block the Sandworm's upper and lower mouths.

Now, the Sandworm's mouth can't close anymore!

"Self-Destruct Man!" Without hesitation, Maron jumped into the Sandworm's mouth and disappeared into the bottomless, dark hole in the blink of an eye.

"Try it and see how it tastes!" Loki suddenly exerted his strength, his enormous body bringing with it invincible divine power.

He forcefully pressed down on the Sandworm's mouth. Just now, its mouth couldn't close, and now it couldn't open it even if it wanted to. The entire Sandworm's body began to tremble violently.

Within seconds, Maron self-destructed from inside the Sandworm, blasting the Sandworm completely in two!

The Sternritter Quincy were locked in a fierce battle with the Five Elders. Even though the Five Elders had been resurrected by their master, they were still at a significant disadvantage in terms of both numbers and strength.

Meanwhile, a standoff continues on the other side.

Imu was dressed like a strange and ominous sorcerer, while Kaya was a paladin who had come to fight monsters.

The two of them faced each other, staring intently at one another.

"David, and the Quincy..." Imu suddenly spoke, his voice low and carrying a certain meaning.

"This world will be destroyed by your hands!"
