"Crush them like ants."
"You've got a big mouth. I wonder if you'll keep saying that after I'm done with you..."
Without waiting for the team, Ellen charged forward as Yuki formed Susanoo's skeletal structure around herself...
*Shiiiiii*
Ellen's Pendragon unit moved swiftly, her energy saber flashing as she appeared in front of Yuki in the blink of an eye.
*Clang*
However, the attack was futile against Yuki. Ellen had superior combat power to a spirit, and her saber could pierce spiritual armor, but Yuki was no ordinary spirit. Not to mention, Susanoo's defense was strong enough to withstand S-rank Ninjutsu in the Shinobi world.
"Tch!"
*Bam*
Ellen squinted, striking again but with the same result. Her 'Territory' expanded, colliding with Susanoo in an attempt to break its bones. Unfortunately, when her territory touched Susanoo, it shattered, and Ellen was sent flying as if struck by an invisible force.
"Eh?!"
*Bam*
"Captain!"
Mana and Artemisia reacted instantly, catching Ellen...
"Are you okay, Captain?"
Mana asked, puzzled. She didn't understand what had just happened. Ellen attacked, and in an instant, she was sent flying...
"What a tough turtle shell!"
Ellen got up quickly, her expression darkening. Even her territory wasn't enough to destroy that giant skeleton. However, she didn't understand what had happened. It was one thing for her territory to break, but another entirely to be attacked without knowing what hit her.
Although it didn't cause significant damage, the impact was enough to send her flying, and Ellen realized that the chances of defeating Yuki alone were slim...
(Ike was right. The Emperor is not easy to hunt.)
"Is that all?"
Yuki, on the other hand, was amused. He crossed his arms and provoked with a smile. Ellen was sent flying not by an attack, but by a repulsion of forces. 'Territory' is a downgraded miniature version of a 'Domain,' which is somewhat similar to that of spirits.
Because of this, when her 'Territory' clashed with Susanoo, the stronger one prevailed, and it was obvious Yuki wouldn't lose. Thus, the force's impulse sent Ellen flying.
"All units, attack!"
"Yes!"
Ellen frowned. Though it wasn't her style to attack in a group, she had to break that strange skeleton for her sword 'No Pain' and 'Murakami' to injure the Emperor...
*BOMMMM*
The Bandersnatch and the mages quickly attacked with their military arsenal. Missiles and energy attacks were launched in succession while Yuki faced them in silence...
Susanoo was hit head-on, covered by explosions. However, after a few minutes, Ellen frowned again...
A huge black shield formed in front of Yuki, withstanding the attack without suffering any injury.
"Fire the magic cannons!"
If they couldn't penetrate the Emperor's armor, confronting him would be useless. Since conventional weaponry didn't work, it was time for the warships to attack with their cannons...
Of course, Yuki noticed this...
"Heh~ I'm being underestimated."
Even as a clone with only 10% of the original's power, there was no way the magic cannons could defeat him...
Even so.
"It would be problematic using phase 1 of Susanoo."
These magic cannons had the strength of S-rank Ninjutsu. Even if Susanoo was strong, the first stage wouldn't be enough to resist. So, Yuki's ocular power increased, and gradually Susanoo around him began to form fully...
"Fire!"
At the same time, the energy cannons finished charging and fired. Three energy beams hit quickly, and the explosion engulfed Susanoo entirely...
The impact was so great that even Mana, Artemisia, and Ellen had to use their Territory to shield themselves from the explosion...
"Phew~ that was intense. Did we kill it?..."
The warships' magic cannons at full power could instantly destroy a mage's territory. Even for Mana, enduring an attack from a warship would leave her seriously injured or even dead, not to mention three...
"...."
However, Ellen didn't speak. She didn't take her eyes off the smoke curtain for a second...
[Warning]
Suddenly, the Reiryoku measurement radars went crazy, giving Ellen a bad feeling...
"Not bad, but staying here and taking your attacks isn't my style."
A sinister voice was heard. The smoke cleared, revealing a giant black figure before Ellen...
Susanoo's third level...
"Now it's my turn..."
Without waiting for Ellen and the mages to react, Yuki moved at high speed. Susanoo reappeared in front of the warships, raised its great sword, and struck...
*Creakkk
The ships' territories shattered, and Susanoo cut the ship in half...
*BOMMMMM
The ship exploded as Ellen and the rest of DEM reacted, quickly using projectiles while the other warships began to retreat...
Would Yuki let them escape?
Yuki ignored the Bandersnatch and the mages. Such attacks weren't enough to break his Susanoo, and he continued to the next warship...
"Attack!"
"Yes!"
*Shiiiii
Mana, Artemisia, and Ellen flew at great speed. As 'Adeptus Units,' their speed was incredible. They surrounded Susanoo, flying while looking for openings and deploying their projectiles at the giant, but it wasn't enough. To Yuki, these mages and Bandersnatch were like mosquitoes flying around him.
A slight brush from Susanoo's enormous arms sent these mages falling, and the same happened with the Bandersnatch. These robotic units turned into scrap metal from her movements.
"It's useless; this thing has no weak points!"
Dodging Susanoo's hand with difficulty, Mana broke into a cold sweat as she deployed her projectiles. She had surrounded the giant but still couldn't find a single weak point...
*BOMMMMM
Unfortunately, another ship fell. Susanoo swung its sword, and the energy was enough to make the ship explode...
This wasn't a battle anymore; it was a massacre. Everything that came into contact with Susanoo exploded or was sent flying...
"Our Territory can't compete with its strength! Captain, order the retreat!".
Even Artemisia was at her limit. Dodging Susanoo's large arms required skill and strength, so she was starting to worry...
*Bam
Ellen, on the other hand, was sent flying again. Her territory collided with the giant once more, and the impact sent her out of the battlefield. Now she understood why she was sent flying before.
The difference in strength was too great...
"What a powerful Angel!"
Just using this 'Angel,' Ellen could say with certainty that Yuki was the most powerful spirit besides the first spirit. This giant was enough to crush all the spirits together...
*BOMMM
The last warship fell, and the situation became critical. Bandersnatch was being destroyed with a single contact from Susanoo.
Numbers weren't enough to hunt the Emperor...
"Ahhhhh!!!"
Suddenly, a pained scream was heard. Mana couldn't dodge, and one of Susanoo's hands grabbed her. Her territory shattered as Yuki crushed her Adeptus Unit...
"I've got you...."
Yuki's eyes gleamed as the shadow surrounded Mana and began to swallow her...
"Captain!"
Mana screamed for help, but it was useless. Ellen and Artemisia couldn't save her...
(Damn it!)
Ellen gritted her teeth. This operation was a total failure. The entire fleet was being annihilated. She had underestimated the Emperor's power too much.
"Retreat!"
Of course, failure was within the tolerance of Ellen's mission. What bothered Ellen the most was that even with all this combat power, she couldn't find a single weak point in the Emperor, which was the basic point of this operation. On the contrary, this spirit was too terrifying...
She was destined to leave empty-handed, all for nothing...
Westcott wouldn't be indifferent to this failure...
Even so, to survive, Ellen and the rest of the mages fled, leaving the Bandersnatch behind to secure their retreat...
"Heh~ I told you, I'd crush you like ants."
Yuki let them escape. It wasn't yet time to face DEM head-on. Besides, he had achieved his goal of attracting DEM. He looked into his shadow dimension and smiled...
"Welcome back, little sister..."
