Chapter 79 - CHAPTER 78: Astral Symphony

In the chaotic battlefield of Shibuya, Enishi's smirk sends ripples through the tense atmosphere. As he utters cryptic incantations under his breath, the astral plane itself responds to his command. Suddenly, a cascade of colossal slashes materializes, descending upon the ground with devastating force. These slashes, infused with celestial energy, radiate a palpable aura of imminent destruction.

Altharion, ever the astute strategist, perceives the impending threat and swiftly takes action. With a fluid series of gestures, he invokes multiple Essence Paragon tier Nature Enes defensive abilities. Walls made of stars materialize, forming a celestial barricade that stands as a testament to Altharion's formidable mastery over the cosmic forces. The ethereal glow of these starry defenses flickers in the face of the oncoming barrage.

Enishi's relentless assault presses on, each massive slash tearing through the defenses with relentless determination. However, Altharion maintains a composed demeanor, for he had anticipated this onslaught. Behind the crumbling walls of stars, a secondary layer of defense emerges—galaxies woven into an intricate cosmic tapestry.

The clash of cosmic energies paints a breathtaking spectacle in the astral plane, where galaxies collide and stars scatter in the wake of the onslaught. Enishi, observing the unfolding cosmic ballet, acknowledges the impressive display put forth by his adversary. "Impressive," he remarks, his tone carrying a blend of admiration and challenge.

Yet, Altharion, concealed behind the protective veil of galactic walls, responds with a subtle smile. He recognizes the need to escalate the stakes, to further push the boundaries of their otherworldly confrontation. The battle becomes a cosmic dance, a symphony of destruction and defense echoing through the astral expanse.

Enishi's proposal to scale up the confrontation hangs in the air, and Altharion, embracing the challenge, stands ready to unveil the next crescendo in this celestial conflict. The cosmic forces intertwine, and the astral plane becomes a canvas for their clash, where each slash and countermeasure weaves a narrative of cosmic prowess.

As the clash escalates, the very fabric of the astral realm quivers with the intensity of their power, setting the stage for a battle that transcends mortal comprehension.

Enishi's enigmatic incantations echo through the astral plane, and the atmosphere brims with anticipation as he prepares to unleash the next level of his celestial onslaught. The very fabric of the astral realm seems to respond to his command as he sends forth a colossal slash, its sheer magnitude threatening to shatter the cosmic defenses woven by Altharion.

In response to the imminent threat, Altharion, the wielder of Nature Enes at its pinnacle, displays an extraordinary command over the cosmic forces. With a fluid grace, he conjures multiple Essence Paragon tier 7 Nature Enes defensive abilities, crafting walls adorned with clusters of galaxies. The celestial tapestry forms an intricate shield, poised to intercept the impending onslaught.

The clash between Enishi's devastating slash and Altharion's cosmic defenses unfolds in a breathtaking display of astral might. As the gigantic slash collides with the galactic walls, a cataclysmic explosion ensues. The astral energies, unleashed in the impact, ripple through the cosmic landscape, leaving an ethereal residue that bears witness to the intensity of their confrontation.

In the face of this celestial explosion, Altharion's strategic brilliance comes to the forefront. Utilizing the Essence Paragon tier 8 Nature Enes abilities at his disposal, he incorporates entire universes into the defensive matrix. The walls now transcend the boundaries of conventional cosmic defenses, reaching a level where the very fabric of universes intertwines in a cosmic ballet of protection.

As the explosion reverberates through the astral expanse, Altharion employs his mastery over space and time. With high-tier Essence Paragon abilities, he manipulates the very essence of reality, ensuring that the impact of the gigantic slash remains contained within the astral plane. The boundaries between space and time warp under his command, preventing the catastrophic consequences that could have ensued from such an otherworldly clash.

The astral battlefield becomes a testament to the clash of godlike forces, where galaxies, universes, and ethereal energies converge and collide. Enishi's formidable prowess and Altharion's masterful defenses create a symphony of cosmic power that echoes through the remnants of Shibuya.

Enishi's smile widens, his mastery of the astral forces evident as he commences a new series of incantations. Two of his arms gracefully articulate the arcane verses, while the other two are pointed with unwavering focus toward Altharion. The astral energies respond to his commands, weaving a complex tapestry of power.

Altharion, ever vigilant, discerns the resonance of Enishi's incantations. The air is charged with an ominous energy, and one phrase reaches his acute senses, "蝕の激怒.". Recognizing the gravity of this incantation, Altharion swiftly maneuvers backward, anticipating the impending onslaught.

With an acute understanding of the astral forces at his disposal, Altharion embarks on a symphony of Essence Paragon tier 7 Nature Enes defensive abilities. His movements are a dance of cosmic precision as he constructs layers upon layers of protective walls, each composed of clusters of galaxies. The astral canvas transforms into a celestial fortress, ready to withstand the fury about to be unleashed.

Enishi, having concluded his incantations, channels the accumulated astral power into a colossal slash. The sheer size and potency of the astral wave reverberate through the astral plane, creating an ethereal shockwave that Altharion feels resonate instantly within his essence.

As the gargantuan slash hurtles towards Altharion, the layers of cosmic defenses stand resolute. The walls, comprised of galaxies woven into a protective matrix, gleam with astral brilliance. The clash between Enishi's furious assault and Altharion's formidable defenses unfolds as a cosmic ballet—a testament to the immense power and strategic prowess each combatant wields.

A few minutes ago, in the now empty streets of Shinjuku, Ryouichi and Yuki found themselves discussing their next course of action. The atmosphere was charged with an air of uncertainty, and the distant echoes of the ongoing astral clash in Shibuya added an eerie undertone to their conversation.

Ryouichi, with a thoughtful expression, decided on a strategic vantage point. "I'll stay near the '7-Eleven Shinjuku 3-chome Store.' I'll wait for the barrier around Shibuya to crumble, or I'll get in... Feel free to do whatever you want, Yuki."

Yuki, with a casual yet determined demeanor, responded, "I'll wander around for a little and head into the convenience store later." His words carried a sense of nonchalance, as if navigating the chaotic events unfolding in Shibuya was just another routine for him.

The neon lights of the city flickered overhead as Ryouichi and Yuki parted ways temporarily, each choosing their own path in this tumultuous moment.
