Chapter 152 - 152.) Tend to Your Assignments!!

"GUUUAAAAARGH!!!"

Maliik: "Let this blow mark the beginning to a change within our history!" 

He sends Billiam flying into the middle of the battlefield like a flash of lightning striking the ground.

Billiam rises to his feet as a few of the guardians from the Rebel Houses flew in to attack him from both sides. 

"Two members of the Borealis' and a low tier Murdicc Noble, eh?" Billiam thinks to himself as he blocks the initial jab from the female Borealis. 

"Tch, we'll be taking you down- *SNAP* 

AUUUUURGH!!!" The goddess yelled. 

Billiam snapped her arm with an elbow to her own elbow. Snapping her left arm inward as he throws her to the side. She takes a few steps forward, turning to see her comrade go at it in an exchange of fists with Billiam. His powers were being nullified by the White Touch technique of the treacherous Luminarian. Baby Beel plucked his left hook upwards. With his body left open, Baby Beel could land a swift jab combo on his rib cage, weakening it so that his one inch punch could blow the entire left half apart. The Borealis God swung with a haymaker wrapped in light essence. Baby Beel blocked the attack with his left fist, nullifying it with his White element. He then followed up with a counter right hook that sent the Borealis God crashing into a nearby structure. 

Billiam: "Lowly Luminarian pigs. Know your place." *FWIP*

He leaps into the air, just above the Murdicc Noble. They looked up to see Baby Beel go into a series of flips. Building a slew of essence and kinetic energy within his right foot. 

Chasie(Kay•see): "Tch! I'll have to use my Shield Birthright to stop this one! Obsidian Blockade!" 

Beel smashed his right foot into the shield and blew it to pieces as they plummeted towards the ground. The force of his foot clashing with the shield made the two separate with a shockwave. Baby used this as a chance to follow up with a fist full of White. Chasie forged a shield made of light that stuck itself to the back of his forearm. Allowing him to clash with Beel as they smashed into the floor. A barrier of light formed around them as their essence clashed. The floor beneath them caved in and Chasie could be seen being buried. Just as he could gain his footing and rise out of the hole, Baby Beel released his technique fully. His wave traveled through the ground and toward Tyyoest and the others. He smirked as he watched Chasie fight against the nulling power of Baby Beel's White element. 

Seriphaeth: "How utterly arrogant of you, Billiam." 

She places herself in front of the attack, placing her hand on the attack and coating it in her Zenchi. It's form was forced to obey her whim and got molded into a ball. She smirked back at Billiam before tossing the ball aside.

Billiam: "Heh, seems there are quite a few monsters on that side after all!"

Maliik: "Indeed, you sniveling wankah!" *SWISH* 

Baby Beel watched as Maliik went into a rapid spin that took down three of the Corrupted Battalion that serve the three corrupted houses that have joined the Beel's on this heinous quest. Maliik notices the strongest amongst the three could withstand his initial attack. So, like a petty teenager, Maliik decided to use the same twirling kick technique that Baby Beel employed earlier. He smashed his foot into the guard of the God and broke through. The God's body smashed into the floor with great force. Maliik slowly floated downwards as he noticed a being dashing towards him from his nine. He grabbed their face and smashed his knee into their back, sending them both flying into the floor. 

Billiam: "Hmm…" 

Maliik: "Billiam!" *PEW* 

Billiam: "Bullocks!!" *FWISH* 

Maliik came flying out of the dust cloud made by his attack. Billiam uses an elbow with his right to cancel our Maliik's odd spin into a devastating, literal… flying knee. They bounce off one another and hold steady for a sec as both stare at the other. A sudden flash occurs and they're at each other's throats in an endless exchange of blistering strikes from every part of the body that can be a weapon in combat. A flurry of barrages that tore the ground asunder with little to no resistance. 

Gaia: "Hmph, who would've guessed that Billiam and Maliik would end up this powerful. Hm!?"

Beeso: "Tch, good on her then." 

Everyone watches as Gaia rushes towards Maliik and Billiam's Location. Making it there before a decisecond could pass by. She watched as Christian leapt into the air and attempted to smash his fist into the back of Maliik's head. She leapt in and smacked him in the jaw with the heel of her left foot. Two of his molars came flying out of his mouth as he flew into the floor. Gaia came smashing into his chest, but missed her mark as he spun on his head and slid out of the way. They both join Malik and Baby Beel as they go dashing around the battlefield. 

"Let's show them something nice, Maliik!"

"Yeah!" Maliik and Gaia stand back to back as Christian and Beel surround them from opposite sides. Christian throws a flying haymaker with his left that Gaia dodges. Behind her head is an already set, left elbow from Malik that Christian punches. His fist goes flying into Beel's face with speeds that were unexpected. This causes a stir of frustration that sent Billiam into a fierce flurry. He coordinated his attacks with Christian as Maliik and Gaia strategically switch opponents with every other few exchanges to throw Beel and Christian off. 

Gaia: "Heh, you're all pretty good for some youngins!" *FLASH* 

Gaia and Maliik focus their efforts on the other. Gaia dodges a few strikes from Christian that missed Maliik, flying towards her as a result. She loses track of Billiam's strikes thanks to this and takes four jabs to the jaw. Maliik turns to face her as she flinches from Billiam's strikes. This allowed him to be struck by Christian's wild hooks. 

"Tsssk!!" Gaia and Maliik went as they traded enemies in a split millisecond. 

Both Beel and Christian were caught off guard by this, taking shots to the jaw(pause) that slowed their momentum down. Gaia and Maliik traded places once more and used flying knees to lift their opponents up when struck near the solar plexus. Both pairs then went into a frenzy of barrages. Both Gaia and Maliik smirked as their Zenchi finally fully linked up. Syncing entirely, which… well, this now allows them to form tandem combo attacks as if they were one being. They traded opponents with each and every blow they threw or blocked. Billiam and Christian couldn't keep up, their essence was being blocked off and not allowed to link thanks to Gaia and Maliik's efforts. Their frenzy of trade finally came to a halt when Billiam and Christian realized they had been separated completely. 

Gaia: "Heh!" 

She smirked as she got herself ready to smash her fist into Christian's face. 

Maliik: "It's a 'bullocks' kind of day for you fellows, yeah?" 

Christian: "Damn!!"

Gaia and Maliik flashed out of sight. Leaving Billiam and Christian to speculate where they might be. For they could not sense their essence. Just then, another flash could be seen and their stomachs caved in from highly heavy strikes delivered by the right fists of Gaia and Maliik. Gaia struck Christian with one more left hook to the face that sent him crashing through their home and out of the dome. His body could be seen making a hole within the nearest star to their main lands. Maliik used a lunt kick with his right leg that sent Billiam's body dragging across the floor for mikes before he could stop himself. 

Maliik: "Your skills truly are superior, Lady Gaia. Must be years of experience." 

Gaia: "I mean yeah, that would be the case if I were actually using that experience. Honestly I'm just using my base strength for Christian since we're almost even there. Then diving into my sealed strength for small bursts that can match Beel with ease. All this skill? Things I learned from Shiishii and Kishin's combat handbooks." 

Maliik: "Hmph… well I'll be damned, mate." 

*BOOOOM* 

Gaia: "Hm!?" *Glare* 

She and Maliik turn to see Shiishii and Morris leaping about as they clash with their weapons. 

Maliik: "So… what's the secret behind his power growing like that?" 

Gaia: "Can't tell you that, honestly. His power growing is a product of a technique. But HOW it's able to grow so much without fighting is the mystery. Seems he's figured out something before I did." 

Maliik: "Hmm…" 

Gaia: "Truth be told, it's easy to say that he more than likely figured this out before he went under one thousand years ago." 

Maliik: "Hmm, even more interesting now. So his and Kishin's battle senses truly are top of the line even amongst the 'unique'. While your skill level seems to be abnormal amongst the 'unique'. You and that brother of yours are dangerous!" 

Gaia: "HA, don't go flattering me too much now, darling." 

Both watch onward as Morris swings his sword with wide slashes in quick succession. Shiishii twirled his scythe about, swinging it in front of him as he did. He blocks and parries each and every swing that comes flying his way. He times his swings just right, allowing him to put a lot of force behind it. Morris's blade is knocked to the ground along with the blade of Shiishii's scythe. 

"Tsk… you're a bloody nuisance, Reaper!!" *CRASH* 

Morris forced his saber free and towards Shiishii's head. 

Shiishii: "Tell me something I don't know, Morris!" *Shwip* *PEW*

Shiishii dashes inward, towards Morris at high speeds. All whilst ducking underneath the swing from Morris's blade. He used a sweeping kick to knock Morris off his feet mid swing. Shiishii pivoted on his left foot while staying low. He places his right hand in the shaft of his scythe, pulling it from the ground as he goes into a scythe twirling frenzy. He takes two steps forward, mind you… this all took place within a second. Shiishii brought his twirling scythe downward and smashed the edge of its blade into the guard of Morris. Morris manages to force the blade into the floor, but not without being forced into a series of spins that left him vulnerable. 

Morris: "Dammit, I keep having to increase my level of strength. What an annoyance these damn Gahwardians are!!"

Shiishii smirks as he uses his right leg to punt kick Morris. Morris was able to block at the last second with the sheath of his sword. But he couldn't withstand the force and was sent flying in the sky as a result. Shiishii pulled his scythe out of the ground and twirled it about just before blitzing into the skies. He continued to twirl his scythe whilst going into a series of front flips. Morris reacted in a frantic style, fidgeting whilst still in mid air. He forced his body into a rapid spin to build enough momentum to match Shiishii's oncoming strike. 

Morris: "NRRRRGH- Spatial REND!!!" 

He swung his saber into the blade of Shiishii's Elemental Slasher's Scythe. 

"How nice. An easy rend- WHAT!?" 

Morris could feel himself being forced back as Shiishii somehow went into a furious bombardment of flipping slashes. He basically looked like a buzzsaw trying to cut through a thick piece of wood. Morris could only hold him off before having his saber and sheath knocked downwards. Shiishii landed on his feet while twirling his scythe in between his left hand's fingers. His left hand was slowly raised until he was set into a baseball batter's stance. Morris took heed of this and brought his saber up to his right shoulder while placing his right hand on his blade. Shiishii smacked the ever living shit out of that man, sending him flying near Diane and Dawn's brawl. 

Morris: "God DAMMIT ALLL!!! Every hit keeps gaining more power!" *SWOOSH*

He swung his body backwards and went into a series of twisting flips. Planting his feet on the air using his essence as the foothold. 

Morris watched as Shiishii came flying at him with his scythe raised above his head. He looked like the classic slashing pose of the Grim Reaper found in multiple forms of literature and media. He brought his scythe down with enough force to rip a hole into the fabric of space. Morris used his Spatial essence to fend off this attack and many more to follow. The two warriors began to parry the other endlessly. Shiishii was slowly being pushed back finally, but this was only a ruse. Their tempo slowed down drastically and Shiishii was able to twirl his scythe once more. Each slash came flying in after he twirled the weapon at least six times. Morris's basic Spatial attacks were being nullified by Shiishii's mixture of Zenchi and Death. This allowed Shiishii to use Morris's own dilemma as a distraction. One that enabled Shiishii to freeze Morris's nervous system and bones overtime. This slowed Morris down until he was left vulnerable for a big, wide and powerful swing from Shiishii's right arm. 

Morris: "Dammit! (I'll just have to withstand one more heavy attack, yeah?)" 

He raised his blade up to his face by adding Additional strength to his arms and upper body. 

The blow sent Morris flying back once more, but nowhere near as far. His Zenchi allowed him to override the essence within him that caused this sudden freeze. Whilst he was wrapping this process up, he could hear the sounds of something literally slashing through the air. It was none other than Shiishii's scythe that he had thrown like a damn Frisbee. Morris ducked below the handle as he blocked the blade that followed. 

"Gotcha!" 

Shiishii grabbed a hold of the scythe as he appeared behind Morris. He traced the Death within the scythe once again, pulling Morris in as he dashes forward. Morris is pulled off his feet and thrown into a rapid spin. It ended with him being thrown into the ground and dragged by the force of the throw for hundreds of miles. 

Diane: "Mhm… Shiishii is quite the powerful warrior, eh? I should get rid of such a threat to our side's stability. *FWIP*

Diane formed a tiny star with her finger tips. Aiming it at Shiishii as he floats towards Morris. He turns to face her, smirking as he gives her a feminine finger wave in a comedic manner. She chuckled, failing to notice Dawn coming from behind with a flying dragon kick. Diane was kicked into the ground, immediately rising back up as Dawn reset herself. 

Dawn: "I can't allow you to have your way, Diane!"

Dawn: "Tch, let's do this then!" 

As some of the major fights began to intensify, we see the Luums step into motion with Meachie at the lead. He commands the Luums, taking advantage of the chaos created by the clashing of heavy hitters from both sides. 

Meachie: "Let's rain hell on them all Luums!!! *SWISH* *Woosh* *SWIP* Hm? Those are…"

He watched as members from the Borealis, two Nobles, and three of the quadruplet Illuma sisters. 

"Not only this, but we have the Shimmers, Authors, the remaining Nobles, and even the brothers of Billiard and Myne holding off the corrupted houses and their battalions." 

Meachie scanned the battlefield to notice everyone from each side slowly moving towards an assignment. But what he couldn't understand… why were none of the Rebel Captains besides Maliik and Dante fighting yet? 

Meachie: "What the hell are they waiting for!?" 

Seriphaeth: "Hmm… guess it's high time I made my approach. I can sense their presence." 

She began to walk towards where one would find Nagita. She was still standing there, staring at Elizabeth. 

Elizabeth: "Hmm… Nagita, it's about time we- oh? Well… if it isn't Seriphaeth. (Hmm… she seems to be one of their captains.)" *Glare*

Elizabeth looked outward and onto the vast battlefield that was her home. She could see all the Rebel captains standing by. Staring at the House of Beel as if they were awaiting something or someone that can be found inside. She got a clear idea of what they were after, smirking. For she found this revelation to be quite the amusing bit of information. 

Elizabeth: "Ah, I see now." 

Nagita: "It seems they're almost front and center. I hope the Captains are ready for their forces."

Seriphaeth: "Of course we are. Have faith, Lady Nagita." 

Nagita: "Mhm."

She continue to look onward at Elizabeth who stared back at her. 

Meanwhile, Dante was busy clearing the extra Nymphyknights. Holding the forces of the Corrupted houses battalions at bay as the rebels advance to his battlefront. With the many converging on his location, he decided to throw out another meteor shower. It rains down atop the enemy as they come into contact with members of the rebellion. It would seem this battlefront was taking a turn for the better, reflecting what looked like a clear victory if the tide stayed shifted into their favor. But that momentum was soon stopped and brought to a full halt. A similar signature of essence was able to override the storm and cancel it out.

Nagita: "Yeah… I'd like for the two of us to tend to the other, o' sister-in-law of mine." *Smirk* 

Seriphaeth: "I'd say it's long overdue!" 

Elizabeth: "I like that you think that, Seriphaeth. You and the rest of your Rebel captains can tend to my special forces."

As the War continues to grow on violence. We watch and bear witness to everyone making their way to their assignments, whether they be rebel or even a corrupted warrior. And in the midst of all this, the ominous Thirteen Dim-Ones spring into action. What does the future entail for those that fight against Corruption!?
