Xyros' mace was already soaring in the air when he lifted it very high. His mace was very thick, like a stone carved into a weapon with a rounded end like a pumpkin.
Amid the pouring rain Xyros still bounced very high. The lightning that had struck his body had hissed and did not affect him as if he was a lightning rod being. However that wasn't false as Xyros' father had the lightning element in his body, and it was passed down a bit on Xyros.
The lightning seemed to tickle Xyros' skin, making his lips move from feeling slightly ticklish. Soon he swung his mace and aimed at Posei who was flying overhead.
A very powerful explosion was created in the middle of the heavy rain, the puff of smoke from the evaporating water filled almost the entire view. Posei managed to dodge, in a puff of smoke he immediately swerved down to avoid Xyros.
After succeeding he exploded an energy ball from his hand. The ball bounced and went into a puff of smoke, where Xyros was still inside. Then a bang was heard. Posei grimaced with black eyes like buttons on a shirt. He thought the battle was over, but two seconds later he saw Xyros' figure swooping down and launching attacks in the form of explosions after explosions emanating from his mace.
The explosion managed to hit Posei causing him to flinch and fall.
One Healer dragged his body backward, which was followed by the other Healers. The rush of water in front of them made them very careful.
The water around them still contained some of the energy of the fighting monsters. If they were in it too much or had frequent contact with it then that wouldn't be good either.
Now a protective wall was created around them, while beneath their feet water gushed from the ground, piercing and splitting the puddles around them.
"Is Posei finally defeated? I heard that Xyros is an impure Destroyer," said a Healer. His face was still covered by the hood. His pale skin clashed against the walls they had created. The explosions around them were like death music playing, which led them to wake up and realize reality.
A moment later the water rippled very high, soaring and creating another explosion as Posei's body fell into the stagnant water. The sound of 'blub blub' was heard, the water surface was uneven and like being tossed by the wind. Soon the water surface became calmer. Just as everyone thought Posei had lost, his disproportionately tall figure reappeared from the puddle.
A Healer said, "Everything is clear. Posei can still get up." His eyes seemed to tremble as he followed Posei's figure who had shot up into the air, almost colliding with Xyros' body which had almost swooped down.
Xyros looked startled, he lost his reflexes and finally managed to get knocked back by Posei's power. The mace in his hand had almost fallen off if the chains that bound his body hadn't moved to catch him, like a snake's head twisting and coiling around its prey.
Xyros had not been able to balance himself when Posei came from various directions and beat him badly. Sometimes Posei disappeared and suddenly appeared above Xyros' head, then hit him with very hard energy. Posei disappeared in the pouring rain, he settled into his invisible form, then he appeared to the right of Xyros' body and hit him in the stomach.
Xyros' body swayed, failing to balance himself. In the midst of it all, he grimaced when he got another kick from the front all of a sudden. Now his body again jerked backward very violently, smoke rising from inside his body with various colors.
He tried to pull out his weapon which was still wrapped in the chains growing around his body, as a form of antidote to the monster's soul in his body to keep him asleep. Xyros almost managed to draw his weapon before finally failing because of a kick from Posei that took his hand out of reach with his mace.
Posei soared from above with his head down, ready to strike. "I already know who you are, Xyros. You are a mixed Destroyer with a Demon attached to your body due to being locked in. You may think that you are strong and you can defeat me, but you must realize that you are just a lowly monster who will not be able to win against Your Majesty Posei."
Posei threw his fist to beat Xyros. A surge of energy had pooled around Posei's fist until it finally released after he blasted it at Xyros' body. Dense colors filled the air, whereupon Xyros was now jolted back and slammed into the water. His body was like a meteoric rock that finally fell to the earth's surface and formed a very wide crater.
Water welled up, swallowing Xyros who was lying weakly. Its surface soared so high that it seemed as if it would swallow all the creatures that were fighting within that world.
The Healers immediately channeled power to try to find Xyros and rescue him from the water. Now Xyros's body appeared body, it was floating on the gush of water with his eyes half-closed while his mace was still swaying in the middle of the chains around his body.
Posei looked very angry. He dived and tried to hit Xyros back. "You will never wake up again. I'll make sure that you die after this." Posei blew Xyros' body back with his energy. Sparks were created in the rain, sparks that were dark in color because they came from Posei's burst of energy.
The ball of energy shot through the air and water then tried to hit Xyros' body. But it failed to do so because Xyros had already realized and moved the chains on his body to move the club and do some deterrence. Explosive explosions filled Xyros' vision, sending his body backward and sinking into the water again.
One of the Healers gasped and bounced back. He clutched his chest and hissed, "The friction force is very strong. I can't keep Xyros' body from staying on the surface."
And another explosion was created, at a place some distance away from them. The explosion had sent the ground shaking violently along a straight line. Everyone fell and drowned in the water, electrocuted from the lightning that suddenly struck, the bones felt very sore and painful.
Posei hit the water where Xyros was sinking. The explosion spewed water again and made Xyros's body visible from the surface, with a dense aura that became increasingly terrifying. Around his body, the chains twisted like a snake's head. A chain was still holding the mace, leading the mace to try to attack Posei and detonate several explosions at him.
Posei swerved and dodged. He climbed into the air and then traced several objects to dodge again. His body which was like smoke was now swirling and moving sideways as Xyros' mace stomped and tried to hit him.
The movement of the mace and chain was even more agile than Xyros' movement, which made Posei even more emotional. He didn't know the use of the chains wrapped around Xyros at all. He thought that the chain was just a barrier that would make it difficult for him to defeat Xyros because, with the chain, the weakened Xyros could still resist. So he growled, "I'll break the chains around your body first! You did a tricky thing in this battle."
Posei again kicked the dense energy in his body for him to direct and he exploded in Xyros' body. This time he exploded more violently than before. He had even gathered an enormous coil of energy above his head, like a dark-colored sun that had suddenly landed on the earth.
The ball of energy bounced and targeted Xyros' body, blasting it so violently that it could shake all over the place. Some of the portals had cracked and were even broken due to the friction of Posei's energy hitting them. Now Posei's eyes were burning when he saw Xyros already lying weak and emitting smoke. The chains around his body also moved limply.
Posei immediately pulled Xyros up into the air, making him float with a weakly sprawled body. Then Posei swooped down to grab Xyros's chain, he needed to exert energy to break the chain.
Posei concentrated, hands pressing on Xyros' chains. All of his energy was concentrated and already flowing in the area of his hand. Finally, there was a loud cracking sound. Posei managed to break the chains wrapped around Xyros' body. Then he threw Xyros down and smashed him against the surface of the water. Another explosion sounded after Posei hit Xyros with his power.
Posei grimaced as he felt his victory. "All of the Destroyers of supreme power have died. I have won this battle!" He flew into a dive, with elongated legs now moving faintly unseen. His face grimaced against the impact of the water, while his hands gave a downward punch, ready to aim at Xyros' body one last time.
Posei burst out laughing with satisfaction when he saw that Xyros had met his end when the explosions of Posei's energy hit him several times. Posei stood towering over Xyros, cleaving apart the water and splitting it. "This is the last one. Accept your death!" Posei's fist hit Xyros' body, forming a hole in Xyros' body and destroying all of his internal organs. Black blood splattered and hit Posei's annoying face.
Posei's face twitched in satisfaction, and then he punched Xyros' body repeatedly until it shattered formless. He was enjoying his victory, enjoying all his soaring energy.
He now threw his last fist which he aimed at Xyros' face, wanting to crush him completely and die. When Posei's face grimaced and threw a fist, he suddenly gasped and widened when he saw Xyros' eyes suddenly opened.
In front of his face was an explosion that made Posei flinch back. And soon Xyros had revived with an extremely terrifying body transformation. The souls of the monsters that had been imprisoned were now released.
