Bang*
Just as Arthur was about to summon his weapon, he was thrown out by Ikaris who was solely focused on his presence because he believed only he was a threat to him compared to his old friends.
He wasn't his friend and he was smart enough to figure out things by just looking at him. Moreover, he always suspected him despite he was trying to cooperate with him.
" You!"
Arthur was in his soul form but the energy of Ikaris was so violent that it could hurt him. Hence, he tried to free himself from his grasp but no matter how hard he tried Ikaris held onto him like a boulder. Furthermore, his invulnerable body made it almost impossible to deal with him in current Arthur's state which made things in a static state.
" Damn!"
He gritted his teeth, hitting him with his everything but Ikaris was just flying toward the distance with speed that he couldn't ignore.
Meanwhile
Sprite was holding everyone off with her psychic power which hindered everyone including Sersi and Kingo who held superior power.
" Sprite, stop!"
Sersi tried to reason with her but Sprite who was blinded by her emotion was a force that almost equaled Thena and Ajak. Therefore, she was unable to use her power except one person.
Swiish*
Makkari ran so fast that she appeared instantly next to her as she tied her with a rope. However, Sprite was keeping her eyes on her, so she was able to dodge her whilst using her power to render her useless.
"!"
Makkari showed her shock when she was caught because only fast people like Arthur and Pietro were able to catch her moves, unlike Sprite who had telepathic power.
" Damn it! YOU GIVE ME NO CHOICE!"
Druig didn't hesitate to manipulate the nearest human to catch her off guard as she felt a bash on her head. The blood oozed up from her head when her eyes were getting blurry due to a concussion which she got from the human child whom she never thought of as a threat.
On the other hand.
Thena panted with a tired face, holding her halberd with a resolution before her greatest foe. She once loved this creature and enveloped herself with him but when fate mocked their love, she had no choice. He was her greatest enemy and foe who kept haunting her in her dreams every day.
" Thena!"
Gilgamesh pushed her aside when Kro was about to kill her. His iron fist met with a force that was so powerful that it created a sonic boom. Both of them were thrown to the trees which were destroyed by their power.
" Cough!"
Gilgamesh coughed blood when he hit a tree while cushioning Thena from the impact. He felt his inner organs were in shambles but he gritted his teeth, holding Thena to escape from there before the monster came again.
" Gil, escape from here. He is too powerful for us. I shouldn't have hesitated when he was weak."
Thena tried to persuade him to leave her but he turned deaf when she did that because he regarded him as his closest friend. Although she wasn't his lover, she was irreplaceable to him, so how could he leave her to die here?
" You fool!"
Thena struggled to get out of his hand but he firmly gripped her while heading toward others in the hope of their survival.
Bang, crack*
Unfortunately, the beast rose from the rumbles as it instantly closed the gap between them.
" Live!"
Gilgamesh threw Thena who was in his arms to the direction where she would meet others.
" Cough*"
A tentacle pierced through his chest as Thena watched helplessly from the air as his silhouette grew fainter. The tears streamed down from her cheeks, believing Gilgamesh had sacrificed himself for her in the end.
Crush*
Just as Kro was about to finish him off, a single sword fell from the sky. It was Arthur who was battered state where he was in bad shape.
" Take your hands off from him."
He said coldly, looking at unconscious Gilgamesh with a serious face.
" You are awfully nosy for a human."
The creature opened his mouth, transforming himself into a humanoid creature as he observed him with a cold face.
