Immediately Following The Confrontation Of The Grand Elder And The Cult Leader We Pick Back Up At The Cult Hideout.
Cult Leader(Cocky): Well If It Isn't The Old Geezer Himself.
Then In The Heat Of The Moment The Grand Elder Wastes No Time And Raises His Hand As A Dark Aura Swirls Around It, He Then Directs His Palm Toward The Cult Leader To Which Dark Tendrils Extend Lunging At The Cult Leader.
The Cult Leader Then Dodges And Lands On A Wall And Fires Off A Black Magic Blast At The Grand Elder, The Grand Elder Stands Still To Which The Blast Bounces Off The Space Around Him And Back Toward The Cult Leader And Causes A Massive Explosion. However As The Explosion Goes Off, Before The Blast Radius Of The Explosion Reaches Jason.
The Grand Elder Summons A Barrier Around Jason, Meanwhile Outside Of The Hideout We See The Squad Fighting Against Devils, And The Main Focus Is On Aria.
Devil(Cocky): Time To Die Girl.
The Devil Then Raises His Hand In The Air And Plants It Into The Ground As Hellfire Erupts From The Ground Around Him And Aria, Aria Utilizing The Heavenly Seals Then Summons Angelic Wings On Her Back While Her Eyes Glow A Heavenly White Color, She Then Fly Into The Air And transform the Particles Around Her In The Air Into Water And Summons A Tsunami Of Water.
Aria Then Directs The Tsunami At The Fire Which Creates Smoke And Sends It Across The Battlefield, Aria Then Closes Her eyes And Attempts To Use Her Cosmic Awareness Ability To Locate The Devil In The Smoke However Before She Could Locate Him He Was Already Behind Her, Aria Attempts To Turn Around But Before She Could The Devil Grabs Aria By Her Neck And Punches Her In The Stomach With His Full Strength And Sends Her Flying Back.
Devil(Bored): C'mon I Thought You Would Put Up More Of A Fight!
Aria Then Gets Up But The Devil Teleports In front Of Her And Grabs Her By The Head And Drags Her Through The Ground By Her Head, Aria Then Grabs The Devil's Arm And Uses Her Existence Erasure Technique To Obliterate His Arm.
Aria Then Gets Up And Sends A Barrage Of Divine Energy Infused Punches At The Devil.
Devil(Impressed): That's What I Was Waiting For!
The Devil Then Raises His Hand And Aims It At Aria To Fire Off A Black Magic Blast However His Chaos Energy Isn't Working.
Devil(Confused): What?
Devil(Confused): My Magic. It's Not Working!
Aria Then Fly's Straight Toward The Devil With Divine Level's Of Speed As She Appears And Disappears Faster Than The Devil Can Blink His Eyes.
Devil(Confused): Fast One Ain't Ya?
Aria Then Appears Behind The Devil And Puts Her Hand Through His Body And Reconstructs His Bones And Turns Them Into Ashes As The Devil Disappears.
Aria(Urgent): I Have To Get Back To Mr.Jay And Miss Melantha And The Others!
Meanwhile Back At The Now Destroyed Hideout We Continue With The Confrontation Between The Grand Elder And The Cult Leader.
Wasting No Time The Grand Elder Swiftly Moves With Speed Faster Than Light Itself And Appears In front Of The Cult Leader, The Grand Elder Then Extends His Hand, A Dark Aura Envelops It As He Performs The Forbidden Technique, Soul Corrosion. The Tendrils Of Dark Magic Snake Their Way Toward The Cult Leader.
Cult Leader(Chanting): "Spiritus vitae, Renata, reviviscere!
Mortem non te tenet, per virtutem tuam resur-
Right Before The Cult Leader Could Finish The Chant He Starts Coughing Up Blood!
Grand Elder(Shocked): Huh?
Grand Elder(Thinking/Analyzing): That Chant- He Was About To Perform That Was The Technique He Used Against Young Jason!
Grand Elder(Thinking/Analyzing): According To The Intel We Have On Him, He Can Form Pacts With The Seven Demon's From The Brotherhood Faction.
Grand Elder(Thinking/Analyzing): Judging By The Stories About Them. Forming Pacts With Them Definitely Doesn't Come Without A Cost!
Grand Elder(Analyzing): Just Now He Started Coughing Up Blood Before He Finished The Incantation!
Cult Leader(Thinking): Damn It! Now Of All Times. Each And Every Time I Forge A Pact With The Seven Demons They Take Time Off My Lifespan!
Cult Leader(Thinking): Which Means I Can't Forge Pacts With Them For Now! I Have To Kill This Old Man With My Bare Hands!
The Cult Leader Then Rushes Toward The Grand Elder And Attempts To Punch Him But The Grand Elder Catches His Fist And Picks Him Up By His Arm And Performs An Overhead Slam On The Cult Leader Slamming Him Into The Ground.
The Ground Cracks From The Impact Of The Slam!
The Grand Elder Then Focuses All Of His Soul Energy Into His Fist As He Then Strikes At The Cult Leader Ready To Land The Finishing Blow, The Cult Leader Then Barely Dodges As The Grand Elder Grazes Him And Ends Up Hitting The Ground Destroying The Ground And The Entire Area Around Them!
Cult Leader(Analyzing/Thinking): That One Punch Did All That???
Cult Leader(Thinking): I Can't Beat Him In The Current State That I'm In Right Now. I Have To Retreat!
Grand Elder(Confident): That's Not All!
The Grand Elder Then Digs His Cane Into The Ground As Intricate Symbols Form On The Ground Which Then Light Up An Ominous Dark Purple Color.
Grand Elder(Chanting): I Now Summon Thy Lost Souls Back To The World Of The Living To Aid Me In Battle!
The Sky Around Them Then Darkens As A Burst Of Ominous Purple Energy Fires Into The Sky And Out Of The Grand Elder's Cane As Caskets Rise Up Out Of The Ground.
Right When The Caskets Rise They Open Up Slowly As One Of The Casket's Catches The Cult Leaders Eye!!!
Cult Leader(In Disbelief): Wait, That's!!!
