"Guoooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!"
Shangarula was already in Beastified form, and he was in a fierce
fight with other Beastified werewolves.
――Shaa!
"""Uwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!?"""
But having been blackdollified, Shangarula was one size larger than
the other werewolves, and he far outstripped them in terms of
strength and speed, too.
"The Sacred Treasure must be overdrawing his power. Put simply, it
is forcing him into undermoon state regardless the absence of the
moon," Shiva-san remarked.
"Undermoon state… You mentioned before that werewolves' fighting
power can jump several folds under the moonlight—are you referring
to that?" I asked.
Shiva-san nodded, "Yeah, that's right. The condition is very
restrictive, but it's said that once he's in that state, Shangarula can
even rival a Beastified Elysium. Still, I never imagined I would
witness it for myself in this kind of situation."
"In any case, we have to stop him as soon as possible. I'll be going
first, so please back me up." Tirna said.
"Yeah, got it," nodding, I manifested a shield to be a foothold for
Tirna.
"Okay—here I go!"
Bang! Kicking off the shield, Tirna launched a kamikaze attack on
Shangarula, whereas we went down to the village to save the injured
people.
◇ ◇
"Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"
――Thwack!
"Gugaa!?"
Tirna's lightning-cladded fist landed squarely on Shangarula's face.
"Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"
"Guh!?"
――Crack, crack, crack, crack!
But it didn't seem to be doing much damage, and the right arm he
swung in counter carved out four lines on the ground.
His strength was ridiculous.
Had Tirna took it head-on, her slender body would have been torn to
pieces regardless of her dwarven armour.
In their previous battle when he was still in control of his mind, Tirna
had asked him why he didn't fight her seriously, but… now she
understood.
Certainly, if he had exerted this much power back then, Tirna would
have lost.
She might have a chance to win if it was waterside, but
unfortunately, their current battlefield was in a snowy forest.
Hence, she definitely couldn't defeat him by herself.
"Oraaa!"
――Bang!
"Gigaa!?"
But now Tirna had 'him'.
Cladded in the flames of god and wearing gauntlet-type weapons
like Tirna—the strongest man in history.
"Let's do this, Tirna!"
"Mm!"
Yes, it was Tirna's beloved Exa.
◇ ◇
"Gugaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"
――Shaaaa.
"I see. Looks like the power of purification isn't completely
ineffective."
A part of his body was exposed for moment after my blow landed on
it, but the black aura closed it back up immediately after. Thus, I
made a hypothesis.
Shangarula's current condition was the same as that of the Mother
Earth back then.
In other words, he had been consumed by the overwhelming amount
of 'filth' flowing out from the Sacred Treasure.
In that case, we should first completely purify the 'filth', then during
the time it took to regenerate, we turned the Sacred Treasure into
Hallowed Sacred Treasure with Tirna's Holy Armament.
Just that, Agartha had taken Shangarula's life at his request, so it
might be difficult to save his life.
It was regretful, but well, he had died honourably as one of the
saints.
If his corpse remained, I would cremate him.
""Grand Prominence Blow!""
――Bang!
"Guogah!?"
Heavy punches landed on Shangarula's body from left and right at
the same time.
"Tirna!"
"Mm! –Grand Storm Shoot!"
Bam! Struck on the chin as he was about to fall down, Shangarula
was violently thrown up into the air as if somersaulting.
"Gu-gah…!?"
And as he was floating mid-air facing up, I, cladded in flames of
purification, struck him with all my might!
"—Grand Prometheus Fall!"
