*BOOOOMMMMM
*Creak....
*Ha... Ha..
The dungeon was trembling; the damage caused was enormous. The spinning force was so great that the Rex Goliath monster's room was destroyed, leaving only a massive hole, scattered rocks, and dust covering the entire space.
Breathing heavily, Yuki emerged from the crater, simultaneously looking upward.
"I may have overdone it, huh?"
Smiling wryly, Yuki didn't know how many floors he had passed through. His Primary Lotus spinning momentum, coupled with the force of a hundred, was more destructive than he had imagined.
But if Yuki was not mistaken, he had descended at least 2 to 3 floors.
"Ouch?"
Touching his arms, a bit of blood oozed from them, making Yuki raise an eyebrow. The muscle tearing was more severe than he thought, even with the Apocalypse Virus in his body. Controlling that amount of chakra under pressure was more stressful and thrilling than he had imagined.
"It hurts... But it was fun."
*Creak..
"Hm?"
However, while deep in thought, a crunch was heard from the depths of the crater…
"Incredible... After all that, you're still not dead. I guess that's what one should expect from a destroyer."
Looking through the dust cloud with his Sharingan, Yuki saw several scattered black bones trying to regroup in one place.
Needless to say whose remains those were.
*ROOOOAAAAR
Roaring, a huge skeletal head and red eyes were visible. The black Juggernaut was reconstructing at an enormous speed.
Needless to say, Yuki raised an eyebrow at this, but he also looked around for the other Juggernaut. However, he found nothing.
"Just one, huh?"
Nodding, the Level 7 Juggernaut didn't survive the impact; only the Level 8 Juggernaut was still looking for a fight, but...
*ROOOOAARRRR
An incredible energy was being accumulated in the bony mouth of the Juggernaut. Despite reconstructing, only its head and a few more bones had been recovered.
*¡Pummmm!
"Eh?"
Turning his neck in pain, Yuki managed to dodge an incredible impact. A beam of energy shot out from the Juggernaut, threatening to blow his head off.
Needless to say, Yuki blinked several times at this. After all, the wall behind him turned into rubble with a large burnt hole.
He was very surprised because not in his wildest dreams did he think the Juggernaut had this ability, not to mention using it now when more than half of its body was destroyed.
"Yeah, you're weird."
*Grrrrrrrr
Growling because its attack failed, the Juggernaut charged another attack. Despite reconstructing, its energy reserves were about to run out, and the Juggernaut wanted to crush its opponent before disappearing, so it didn't hesitate to use its trump card.
"Ugh! If that hits me, it's going to hurt."
Looking at the intense heat radiating from that attack, Yuki put a hand to his forehead.
"Champion-sama!"
However, while watching the Juggernaut with curiosity, he heard a familiar voice.
"Hm?"
Turning his head, Yuki saw Ais emerging from his shadow. Needless to say, Ais, like him, was surprised by the fierce attack of the Juggernaut.
(This is not good... He's injured.)
Seeing Yuki's sorry state, with blood on his abdomen and arms, Ais misunderstood the situation.
"Tempest... Ariel."
Recalling her conversation with Loki, Ais knew that the Champion was not at full power. Fighting these monsters must have worsened his injuries. Not to mention the amount of energy he released. That's why Ais ran; she wanted to get Yuki out of there. For her, Yuki couldn't move; otherwise, at the first attack of the Juggernaut, Yuki wouldn't have stayed idle, just moving his neck to dodge.
*¡Pummm!
However, the Juggernaut had finished charging its attack and launched it without hesitation at an immobile Yuki.
(I won't make it in time!)
With bloodshot eyes, Ais put more strength into her legs.
"It's okay..."
But upon seeing Yuki's smile, she stopped. Yuki's expression wasn't that of someone about to die; he had a mocking smile. After all, Yuki was looking at the Juggernaut as if it were a defeated foolish dog.
*Shua...
*Bam
And she wasn't wrong. A light flashed in front of Yuki, splitting the Juggernaut's attack in two.
"You took your time."
Sighing, Yuki stood up.
"It's your fault, Master. If Master hadn't left me, none of this would have happened."
With those words, a small figure with platinum hair formed from the flash of light.
"I guess you're right."
Scratching his chin, Yuki smiled at the beautiful girl.
(Oh... A spirit!)
Ais, on the other hand, was surprised by the sudden appearance of the girl. Moreover, now she understood why this girl gave her a familiar feeling.
And how could she not? This girl was a spirit, just like her mother.
*ROOAAAARRR
The Juggernaut, on the other hand, became enraged. Its attack had been blocked, so it didn't hesitate to charge another.
"Master."
Seeing this, Est blinked innocently.
"It's okay... Let's do it."
Understanding what Est meant, Yuki agreed, raising his hand to initiate his incantation.
(Solemn queen of steel, she who destroys demons, become my steel and give me power.)
Taking Yuki's hand with both hands, Est's body flashed again, and in Yuki's hand appeared a beautiful silver sword with turquoise and gold ornaments and a cross-guard hilt.
(So, this is her Elemental Waffe form.)
Feeling the great power of the sword in his palm, Yuki quickly thought of several swords from his homeworld. However, he could only find one that matched Est's stature.
(Maybe... The Totsuka sword?)
Yuki had already seen the Kusanagi sword but thought it couldn't measure up to Est. As for the Totsuka sword, Yuki had read about it and its abilities. Needless to say, Yuki was very jealous of Itachi for having it. He even wanted to steal it, so he thought that perhaps only that sword could be compared to Est.
[Master, you're not allowed to think about other swords besides me.]
However, as Yuki fantasized about that spiritual sword, Est, as if reading his mind, puffed up her spiritual cheeks in annoyance.
"Sorry... My mistake."
Scratching his head, a cold sweat drop ran down his cheek.
*¡Pummm!
However, while having their little discussion, the Juggernaut finished charging its attack.
"Let's go, Est."
[Yes, Master.]
Watching the energy beam approaching, Yuki smiled, lifting his sword with one hand.
"You were quite annoying... But rest assured, your master will be the next one to be massacred."
*Shiiiiiiiiiiii
Lowering his sword, an incredible spiritual energy was released, destroying the Juggernaut's attack. However, it wasn't over yet. The attack sliced through the Juggernaut from side to side, leaving a massive trench in the ground, cleaving the monster in two.
