The audience could see, Obra was down, Kurohebi used everything to counter the blasting waves and was assaulted by the bullets leaving holes in his body before he blasted away...
Thankfully, Alexei and Nullpudding managed to keep their games even though the latter was bleeding in his hands...
However, that changed when they realised the two little girly brats vanished and along with them Flare was missing as well...
This meant 3 out of 5 of their team lost...
Ryouji and co watching the feed knew that Tina and Lily by using Illusion Magic erased their trace and soon caught Flare from her shoulders making her vanish while in reality, they were lurking quite close...
The moment the two caught Flare and brought her to their magic area of effect and before she could react in her fear...
Flare suddenly paled as both girls whispered something into her ears making her stay where she was and obviously out of commission...
Alexei looked at the three in anger for his plans being ruined before they even began and walked forward before speaking...
Alexei : Let us through or else today will be your last...
However what welcomed his demand was a rain of swords, flames and bullets forcing him to create a shield of shikigami...
Joe : It seems you don't wish to realise your situation do you??
Joe : TODAY!!! YOU!!! WILL!!! DIE!!!
Joe's voice resounded in every corner of the Labyrinth and even those outside heard him and felt the chills on their backs...
Similarly along with his words, the space around him started twisting as more swords were created out of thin air with different elements...
Flame swords, Earth swords, Paper swords as he used his dolls as basis and what surprised everyone was swords made of clock parts...
They all launched themselves as they obeyed the will of Jow towards Alexei while Nullpudding wanted to but in...
Unfortunately, a scorching wave and a rain of bullets fell on his body blasting him away while Alexei sneered that he had to do everything alone...
He started waving his hands and more and more papers got summoned forming shikigamis while blocking the swords as they got sliced in the process and even burned...
He then waved his hands forward and pointed them at Joe where all the remaining one started gathering...
Alexei : The one who will die!!! Are you three!!!
Alexei : Shikigami Magic - Shikigami Dark Bomb!!!
Alexei then releases a massive amount of shikigami dolls that converge with those he had gathered towards Joe, forming a large sphere, which then glows with purple energy...
Alexei : DIE!!!!
BOOOM!!!!!
A huge explosion blasted from above Joe, Erion and Noah's head as the scorching waves powerful waves of energy destroy everything in their path while trying to reach the brats...
However, at almost the same time the waves reached them, Joe waved upwards his hand, Erion raised upwards his palm and Noah made a firing gesture with his fingers...
The world froze...
At that instant, the waves split apart numerous times, a few of them burned in wild flames and the others got blasted away with giant holes in them making the area die down and silence to prevail...
Alexei : W_wh-what...
Alexei : What did you do??
No one could believe what just happened except those who were able to discern the true powers of the Old Dragon Team...
Joe : What did we do??
Joe created a sword in his hands made from paper dolls as he wanted to mock Alexei before raising it upwards and with his final muttered words he slashed down...
Joe : Taking your dog life...
Alexei heard this nad back off as he saw the sword-slashing empty air but soon was confused by this and almost raged thinking he got scared of a slash that will never reach him...
But in the next moment, his world split in two...
