"Sagi your ancient class sigil does not possess enough power to destroy a God Class Monster."
"I need you to protect the unconscious, the Siren sisters and Virgo."
Without a word of argument, she quietly but readily assumed her position.
The silent sparkle in her eyes were enough to show me her reluctance to stay behind, but our trust in each other as a party was unwavering and she knew it was still a vital role to play.
Sagi stands tall in front of the unconscious that she swore to protect, "Come forth, Bayonet!"
Hundreds of quills explode from the ground, as Bayonet slowly rose from the ground, shaking of the sand. She swings the hilt of the war goddess with a flourish, before bringing it to her chest.
Change element - Diamond quills, Magnetize.... Ancient Omega Porcupine, Bayonet! The quills transform into thick black coals, shivering as each individual quill succumbed to over 700,000 pounds of pressure and burns against the surface of it skin, creating a sphere of perfectly crystallized diamond.
A belt of magic inscriptions forms along Bayonet's waist, pulling him straight into and fusing it with Arisaki the Hilt of the war goddess.
With a flick of her wrist, she spins them, and the large quills open up like a diamond encrusted umbrella, wide and durable enough to completely shield them.
With its heat resistance, a melting point of 4500-degree Celsius, she simply twists and her new diamond beach umbrella and shakes of the raining magma, unfazed by the scorching heat as magma only reaches 1700 degrees Celsius.
"Summoning... Pandora!" He leaps gracefully out of my shadow, shaking bits of shadow out of its fur.

"I know it's a tall order fighting one class above you but as promised my house pet! There it is the King of the beasts, God of Molten Magma, Ashen Star Crab."
"Bring me its innards, I want to eat some crab tonight..."
With a low bow conveying his thanks, "I will make you proud SIR!"
Vanishing, using shadow tag Pandora reappeared from the Ashen Star Crab's shadow, rushing in with fierce strikes against its rock-hard carapace.

-------------------------------------------------------------
The Ashen Star crab turns to face the panting Pandora, eyes narrowed, followed by a telepathic link.
"Weak ... too weak for me to even possess little kitten..." it laughs maniacally.
Anger surges within Pandora, and in it newfound strength through an adrenaline rush.
"Shadow magic, shadow clones!" Pandora's own shadow stretches far in his sides. Ripping and splitting into multiple clones amounting to over 20.
Criss crossing each other to confuse its focus, he stealthily vanished into the shadow realm.
Surfacing back beneath the Ashen Star Crab, with only his face barely out of the shadow's surface to keep himself hidden.
While his clones charge in on the Ashen Star Crab, clawing at every joint attempting to sever the weak spots. Although Pandora's Legendary classed speed of 5999 was impressive with its shadow clones zooming black streaks across the colossal bulky frame of the Ashen Star crab, the enemy was faster.
Calcified tentacles, emerged from the entirety of its carapace generating 1000 arms, whipping and slashing at the clones with ease. Out speeding them with its own God Speed of 6500.
Extremely slow for a God Class monster but lightning fast to a Legendary classed one.
Each time the Shadow Leopard clones get slashed they melted into a shadow puddle and gets returned to be reabsorbed by Pandora.
With only three left, the clones gathered and placed their jaws close decisively charging a large quantity of shadow magic.
Sagi worriedly watches, "I hope Pandora's natural pool of magicubes is larger than the Ashen Star Crabs... I'm sure his ego to prove himself would be big to resort to drawing magicubes from you Yuujiro."
"Casting combination magic with the use of your own clones is dangerous as it drains and depletes the user's magicubes pool in greater quantity than just triple the normal output."
"Which is why normally parties and even monsters work with others to produce powerful combination magic."
"If they're not careful, it may leave them crippled and defenseless due to the drawback of empty mana, which works like a seizure on the body until the body recovers back at least 10% of its total magicube quantity."
Understanding the risk that Pandora is putting himself through... "I get what you mean Sagi, usually an empty mana seizure means death... but I believe more than proving himself to me against an enemy this tough, he's proving to himself that his strength is enough."
"Risking it all to one shot the Ashen Star Crab with the remaining three clones."
The ball of magic now condensed in deep space black, pulsating waves of shadow magic in the air. In unison they unleashed their combination magic, "Take this crustacean! Combination Shadow Magic - Panther Lilium!"
The beam of shadow cut across the sky like a black marker across white paper, dominating the space with such power and gravity.
The Ashen Star Crab was no fool either, sensing the impending charged magic, but at too far a distance to intercept in time it puts up its massive crusher claw as a shield, fully wrapped in calcified thorny tentacles like a boxer's wrist wraps, fortifying itself against a critical blow.
HIT! Ally Combination Magic (x1.5) + Triple clones (x3) + Core Magic Panther Lilium (x1.5) = Total Damage 39,825!
Like a jet of pressurized water against a wall, the magic hits with full force, but is halted against the crab's absolute defense.
World System Notice - Enemy defense resisting, with defense posture and reinforced Calcified skin total defense increased by 50% to 35,995/ 40,000.
The shadow magic soon relents and trickles its end... Enemy damage -3830!

Enemy Ashen Star Crab, skill activated Calcified Skin - reflects 30% damage dealt... 11,947 Damage reflected.
Immediately the shadow leopard clones get hit hard by an invisible force like a curse exploding violently into pieces before melting back into shadows.
Since our soul realm was connected, I could feel Pandora's anxiety and worries including his pool of magicube which has been severely depleted left with only 5%.
Telepathically conversing with him... "Pandora you've done enough anymore, and you'll be torn a sundered."
Weakly purring, "Apologies Master, the crustacean was right... I am too weak to even be useful to you."
Stopping him right there, "Be proud of what you've accomplished and be open to the help of friends, you're no longer alone having to shoulder all the burdens as the Sole Alpha of your tribe."
"You're my familiar, and that means we will win this together..."
A strong silence passes, Pandora smirks "Yes Master, I am more than just an Alpha now I am the familiar of the time overlord, the great one's extension!"
With that our souls bonded even stronger, my rich infused magic flowing into his soul realm.
He emerges from the shadow eyes glowing with my overlord magic sigils and both paws inscribed with God Strength Sigils, completely transformed into a Runic Alpha Shadow Leopard.
Running with great speed and vigor, Pandora casts, "Runic magic - Attis..." a magic circle implants into the path he streaked across.
Going straight for the crab, Pandora leaps into the airspace above it casting Runic Magic - God Claws! (5900+5000).
The Ashen Star Crab meets his strike with its own from below, "Volcanic Claw bash!" (6800 + 2000 damage!)
Both behemoth strength clashed into one another, like an asteroid's impact creating shockwaves in the air. Both attempting to overpower each other, but clearly one had more might than the other.
Hit! 2100 Damage! The force sends the Ashen Star Crab tumbling backwards.
"I'm not done yet."
"Shadow Assassination Magic - Shadow Tag! (x3)" Pandora instantly teleports into the back of the rolling Ashen Star Crab.
"God Claws!!!"
The large shadow claws dug deep beneath its shell, leaving deep penetrated claw marks into its shell.
Hit! 8703 Damage! The intense force now driving the shattering body of the Ashen Star Crab back into the opposite direction.
Loud reverberating cracks were heard, like shifts in the tectonic plates. Large veins of cracks formed all over the Ashen Star Crab's Carapace magma blood oozing out from its new wounds as in continuously rolls over the Sea.
In precise order first the Ashen Star Crab's head carapace breaks off revealing its soft brains and innards, followed by its entire crusher claw completely shattering, its soft flesh within laced with magma, was torn apart by the overpowering opposing force of Pandora's first hit with God Claws.
Crashing into the cliff side, the rest of its body exploded like pop rocks, shattering volcanic shells and magma flesh everywhere.
From our point of view the Ashen Star Crab was sent forwards and backwards like a ping pong, skipping it across the sea like a rock littering the sea with its body parts, eventually coming to a stop crashing into the cliff side which also resulted in creating a tidal wave 30 stories high.
Sagi watches the incoming wave and steels her body bracing for impact, beads of sweat falling from her face, unsure if it's enough or would they get swept away as well.
