In response to Gilbalar's sudden attack, Nicole snapped her fingers and created dozens of ice and water barriers while Esna enchanted those barriers to strengthen them, but the hastily made defences were no match for the god of fire's fist.
His clenched fist tore through them all like paper, but the speed of his punch was inevitably slowed and the flames coating his hand reduced, giving Nicole enough time to swoop in and pull Esna away from there.
Just when he wanted to charge forward again, he rose an eyebrow and turned around, creating a sword of flames which he used to block Layla's sudden sword slash.
Edward blitzed in behind him, with white lightning covering his body and delivered an upward arching slash, his sword laden with light and lightning magic.
"GAHH!"
Golden blood splattered all over Edward's face as his attack struck true, forcing Gilbalar to push Layla back with his raw superior strength.
