Because of Gilbert's injury, his movements were a lot slower than in his peak state. His presence didn't make a big difference in the battle and the groups were still in a stalemate. Furthermore, the remaining Level 5 Underworlders seemed to have inexhaustible stamina. They have been continuously swinging their weapons without rest, but their strength didn't decrease at all!
Soon, another Esper perished under the hands of a tall and muscular Underworlder. The guy was smashed into a meat paste by the other party's giant mace!
When they saw their comrade's gruesome death, General Trevor and the others were enraged. They increased the intensity of their attacks, making the Underworlders feel more pressured.
Suddenly, Einar's eyes flashed coldly as he erupted with overwhelmed strength. He merged his dual gigantic swords into a much bigger sword that looked like a giant lump of metal. Intense power radiated from his Divine-Rated artifact.
