(A/N: This battle occurred during the talk of Lawrence and Shiki. Just reminding as it might confuse some)

=Town of Misaki, Abandoned School=
3rd POV*
Roa who was exchanging blows with Arcueid suddenly felt his connection with the building faltering. He sensed one of the circuits being destroyed so he took a small peek at Tohno Shiki. Roa is aware to what phenomenon just happened because he also has some experience on it. He could not help but scoff at the useless attempt that Shiki is doing.
'Fool, killing one would do nothing. I can simply recreate the thing you killed instantly' Roa thought turning his attention back to Arcueid. He already has experience fighting Arcueid because she was the one who killed him last time, it was a relief that he managed to use his reincarnation spell before Arcueid could completely kill him.
Roa raised his arm to block that one powerful swipe Arcueid released. His arm went down on its own from the immense force placed on that attack, this made Roa sweat a little. No matter how many times he witness it, Arcueid's broken strength never fail to amaze him. She has been the only person he admired in his whole life, not even Altrouge could gain his acknowledgement.
Arcueid followed her attack with a simple kick in the gut blasting Roa towards some crevices. Roa felt his whole body screaming in pain yet he does not mind it, he experienced more horrific things than this so the pain was just a minor disturbance for him. He grunted while slowly standing up from his position, that action was not left unnoticed by Arcueid.
Roa had to bear the impact of being snudge in the ground by Arcueid, though that resistance was useless because his body was still smashed throughout many rubbles, it inflicted great pain to Roa making him grunt. Despite receiving hundreds of lethal attacks from Arcueid, Roa did not even waver once. There is something that is making him confident in this situation.
He grinned sensing another course of buff being pumped into his body. Right! This is the advantage that he has at this moment! As long as they are under the effect of the building, Roa will continue to grow stronger. This place was getting unhinged from the concept of Gaia and Alaya making it a suitable place for boost from the Counter Force.
While he is being boosted, Arcueid will slowly loose her strength! That is what in Roa's mind when creating this Bounded Field, he studied the topic about True Ancestors and Dead Apostle before walking into this path. He knows that Arcueid is gaining additional boost from Gaia and Alaya for she is doing a noble purpose in this world which is cleansing the insect Demon Lords.
In Roa's calculation, Gaia and Alaya will surely release their support towards Arcueid once this place is completely isolated. Roa smirked feeling high from all this pleasure, with this plan he can now finish what he wanted years ago. In simple terms, devouring every power that Arcueid has! He will gain the power to control everything.
Unbeknownst to Roa, Altrouge who was watching the battle has already shown her disappointment. "How pathetic, thinking that the Arcueid will lose because of a cheap plan is a huge insult… it's sickening" she muttered gazing hollowly at the fight. "It seems like we are destined to meet again Father…" Altrouge murmured before closing her eyes in respect to what will happen soon.
Slowly but surely, Roa was eventually taking the upper hand. Roa's calculation is indeed logical, with the school building being separated from the world, he will gain power while Arcueid would be weakened. It's just there is something he has overlooked in his great plan, and that is something terrifying which most Dead Apostles would fear.
Roa brought his heavy hands at Arcueid's shoulder crushing it as Arcueid was blown away from the impact. He did not stop there as he continued unleashing attacks after attack to Arcueid who was helpless at it. She is now starting to realize that she might really lose at this pace. Though, there is something inside Arcueid that is signaling that she won't die no matter how strong Roa will become.
This kept Arcueid's determination in peak while she fight Roa. In the eyes of the observers, something is happening that is garnering their cautious. Their instinct is telling them that a dangerous phenomenon will descend soon and no one will be able to stop it, yet despite sensing that, no one tried to interfere with the fight.
It is only reasonable as one gray haired man can be seen smiling at every observer while releasing a little bit of his horrifying aura. This was enough to make everyone back down to what they are planning and just hope that the world won't be destroyed after this. After 25 minutes of trading blows, Roa suddenly stopped before grinning widely.
It was finally complete! The whole place was completely shrouded in mystery element making it detach from Earth. "HAHAHAHA! With this power, no one will be able to stop me!" Roa laughed maniacally looking down at everyone in the vicinity. The sensation he is feeling right now is the highest he has ever reached, there is no doubt that he became stronger than before.
While Roa was celebrating his success, Arcueid was crouching on the spot perceiving that something will happen soon. She stopped fighting back as the purity of her body slowly rose. It became dramatic because every Dead Apostle in the world dropped on one knee, they are welcoming the one above them all.
The entity who is the epitome of all True Ancestors, the one who annihilated the others, all bloods boiled at this moment as the cause of horror has returned to the land.
Roa who was rejoicing also had to stop himself since the descent of the Ultimate Entity has disrupted his thoughts. His mind was in turmoil right now not understanding the occurrence, it was out of his calculations! Roa's question was then answered by Altrouge who appeared on his side, "Your foolishness has devolved the situation" she said.
While Roa's plan was flawless, he did not consider the fact that True Ancestors are supposedly weaker on Earth. They are not a genuine resident of this Heavenly Body and were just given permission by Gaia to dwell on it. It is natural that their influence would be weaker while standing on the soil of Earth. Arcueid who lost touched with presence of Gaia swiftly turned into the most pure being, the one who has her full power before meeting Roa.
Arcueid's short hair leisurely grew reaching the back of her thighs, her casual clothes was disintegrated as it was replaced by the long white dress she used to wear in the past. Arcueid opened her eyes revealing a pair of observers that wisdom dwell within. It is here! One of the strongest beings in the world has descended!
Altrouge's eyes turned heavy at this presence, how long has it been since she saw her sister's original form?
Roa gaped at Arcueid, no Archetype Earth as his senses started screaming all over him. It was giving him the order of dropping his knee. Roa gritted his teeth and was about to ask more support from the Counter Force when another disturbing phenomenon occurred. All of the magic circuits that consist of the school building was killed!
He immediately turned his head to inspect the situation only to see Lawrence flexing towards Shiki while the young man dropped his jaw in response. This action of them infuriated him and was about to move when Archetype Earth's voice finally rang. "Foolish man, cease your actions" she said in a demanding voice that forced Roa to halt.
The tone was full of authority that one would have to hesitate in disobeying it. Roa widened his eyes at that way of talking, the nostalgia has returned to him! It was the same one as he tricked before! The one who he stole power from. From that nostalgia, dreadfulness comes after. Roa would be the most knowledgeable about the current Arcueid because he has conversed with this one before.
"You are forgiven. Now, kneel" Archetype Earth said gesturing everyone in the vicinity to kneel. She is leisurely releasing an immense pressure that will surely pop a normal human if there is one here. Roa had no control over his body as it knelt down on its own, Shiki also did the same because he is just slightly stronger than normal human.
Only Altrouge and Lawrence were left standing leading Archetype Earth to raise her eyebrow in confusion. She can understand her sister because despite having enough power to mess with Earth right now, she still wouldn't be able to beat her. On the other hand, this unknown guy was refusing her orders whilst smiling carelessly. "Now tell me mortal, how do you wish to die?" she spoke with irritation on her tone.
Hearing that Lawrence only smiled helplessly before answering, "As expected, you're not cute at all. Arcueid is much better" he said bluntly.
