Cherreads

Chapter 368 - Chapter 368: Aloha Oe, Part 4

Groans of the watery beast were heard across the dry land. Cries of anguish and regret as the two children strike it on both sides, Stolas' stars being sprayed like a gatling gun, firing with both of his talons, and Zazel with Asmodeus, allowing the flames to circle around and boil the water, and to an extent, the souls within it. Every time it tries to counterattack, the commandment would scald the water further, as well as Cherub swooping down to take advantage and ram itself into the beasts head, a flurry of feathers raining down to rip apart the tides in its titanic body, veins that spilled its own clear, makeshift 'blood' that makes the beast desperate. The creature was begging for an answer, a chance to fight back, if only a temporary one.

SHIKK!!!

Its answer, as the two demons were caught off guard at the shot towards its seal. They turned their heads to try and see where the shot came from, a small glimmer of light catching their eyes. The assassin, now armless, having to use its mouth to wield his appendage like a sniper rifle, visibly cackling as it knew the odds were slim, yet it pulled such a feat off from miles away. The two boys grit themselves as they tried to see the Umibozu swinging its arms around, watching the waters split into tendrils and lengthen them, in order to cover more of the area, as well as try to swat down whatever gets in its way. Harvard, however, merely parted the waves once he brought himself down, aiming straight for the hard rock below so he can cast a spell, a clock tower that immediately rose from the ground and pierced through the beast in half, forcing it to thicken the whips and try to recover from such a potent injury. Zazel and Stolas, however, would take advantage of this new shift by landing onto the watery tentacles, rushing through them to see if they can close the gap and reach the markings, hoping to clear a path quick enough for Solomon to come in and reapply it. The Umibozu can feel their pitter patters across its body, instantly creating humanoid creatures to act as a blockade and fight them one on one, lengthening their legs so they can cover more distance than the children.

When the two demons saw the onslaught, they looked at each other and smiled, silently making a game out of it to see who can reach it first, whilst the chaos was going on outside of them, the Roar of the aquatic giant acting as the gun to signal the starting line.

Stolas would rush in like an eagle first, creating Gemini to set up two clones, then reassembling their constellations to become Orion, letting them fire two arrows simultaneously, piercing through the wave of bodies before the Avian. At the same time, he would hang onto said stars as he'd time himself, utilizing this newfound speed to chop and carve down the humanoids with quick efficiency. Palm strikes against their head so that the chest is exposed, letting it be carved away upon the heat of the star. Kicks to let the stardust create a combustible smokescreen, cratering the tendril and forcing the Sea Monk to replace the Humanoids if it means saving its own life. Grabs by their necks so that they can be used as a body shield and create a makeshift mist to cloud his next attacks. Even aiming a massive star as the two arrows converge so it would explode and launch Stolas up even further, letting him reach quickly into its shoulder, dropkicking a liquid being as he arrived, pushing them off and setting up another Zodiac Man to protect himself. With such stars and attacks, however, he was starting to feel his body being weakened, his energy plummeting like mad.

Zazel, meanwhile, would merely set up two sigils, with Asmodeus creating such a ring of fire as he zoomed past the makeshift Elementals, as well as using Armor Magic on Stolas, creating a new set on his body, one with a feathered cowl and cloak, with onyx stone as the chest plate and guards on his arms and legs, shimmering with small stones embedded in it. He was focused on replenishing his energy and saving it, so that once he reaches the Shoulder, it was a mad dash straight ahead, creating a star inches from his face so he can push through them further like a battering ram. The little Devil smirked as he'd see Stolas struggling, ready to reach for the commandment and channel his energy through it, a beacon to let Solomon take aim and cast it, yet he'd be shocked to see Orion coming up from behind the Avian, grabbing the child and taking aim exactly at the same spot. Stolas smirked back at him as Orion fired the boy with such perfect precision, soaring across the rain like it was nothing. The Umibozu retaliated with making the rain sharp enough to cut through the children, but by such radiance, it barely even nicked the stars that was set-up from the both of them. As they reached the top, Stolas would set up Almagest, the constellations circling around, whilst Zazel supplied further stars to anchor down any attacks the tendrils would take around their sides. Solomon would be able to see from such a large distance at the massive target his friends, nay, his brothers have now made.

He'd give a nod as he'd allow Shady to warp him through such shadows, appearing right in Zazel's as he'd raise his hand up. "Thou shalt not KILL!!" He'd shout, implanting the commandment once more, the Humanoids quickly dissolving into mist once more as the rules of God caught on. Harvard would be seen scaling up through the Tower he drilled into the Sea Monk, trying to reach the seal he's set up beforehand, making Cherub and Puzzlmina guard it with their lives. They finally see it. A plausible end against the nightmare that was made.
