Chapter 446: Ezequiel vs everybody (VI)

The origin of the voice was a little girl with black hair and eyes. Yami stared at the Neo-Demons with dissatisfaction. 

Although they maintained their battle awareness, everybody was surprised by the little girl's interference, especially since it seemed she sought to help the Neo-Demons against Ezequiel.

"You three, stop wasting your energies shattering the incarnation. We are in the void, and here World Strength is composed of heat, interstellar energy, ions, starlight, and a myriad of other forces. Unless you can erase every form of power in a radius of a million kilometers or sever Little Brother's ability to commune with the universe, that thing will reform endlessly."

Yami's words came as a shock for Zitra, Totto, and Sophia. They thought that after destroying the incarnation a certain number of times, it would be unable to reform, but now it seemed that they were wasting their energies using powerful spells to blast it apart.

The trio immediately adopted a new approach. Instead of wasting a massive amount of Elemental Chaos on destructive spells, they saved their energies and began to use obstructive techniques against the incarnation. 

The World Strength's Incarnation was powerful but lacked martial skills, so chains of light, freezing fire, and rotting miasma easily hindered its movements.

Of course, the incarnation managed to free itself very fast, but the trio only needed to fire the spells again to immobilize it, which drained very little energy. 

Yami nodded when he saw that, and a small smile appeared on her face as she turned to the close-range team.

"You five, stop attacking from different directions. Little Brother's consciousness is so large that he can split his mind into several trains of thought capable of using all the power of his body. Others may have difficulty responding to simultaneous attacks from different angles, but he does not. So you are only weakening your offensive by separating." 

Heinz's eyes narrowed, and he glanced at the rest of the close-range team before giving a slight nod.

Juntu, Tyrus, Rax, and Kylo did not hesitate before flashing toward Heinz, positioning themselves in front of the Supreme Neo-Demon.

They formed an "x" with the Cultivator in the center and began to attack together.

Ezequiel immediately mobilized five of the arms to answer to the attacks, but things became more challenging. 

Heinz, Juntu, Rax, Kylo, and Tyrus combine their attacks and also hide them in the shadows of their comrades' weapons, making it harder for Ezequiel to respond. 

Before, Ezequiel had six windows that showed one attack each, but now there was one with five. He also had to respond to the archer on his back.

Dante's regular arrows were easy to block, but he could not relax due to the Bloodline Arrows.

The new battle style helped the Neo-Demons to even the battlefield, but that was all. They still were accumulating injuries, and due to his monstrous defenses, the damage they did to Ezequiel was minimal. 

Luckily for the Neo-Demons, after analyzing the new battlefield, Yami spoke again.

"Gorilla guy, leave the close-range team and go help with the World Strength's Incarnation."

The close-range team was still having a hard time battling Ezequiel, so the exit of one could put them in a dangerous situation. 

However, Heinz nodded to Tyrus, signaling him to go, and the rest adopted a "y" formation.

Tyrus kicked the air, and in less than a second, appeared in front of the incarnation. He fired a giant blood claw that grabbed the gargantuan humanoid.

"Duality girl and nirvana girl, leave the World Strength's Incarnation to them. You two help the archer boy. Use your powers to hide his arrows and reinforce them with that white liquid flame." Yami once again changed their battle formation. 

Totto and Tyrus nodded to Sophia and Zitra, signaling they could handle the incarnation, and the two women flashed to Dante immediately. 

Once they were beside him, Zitra's incarnation glowed, sucking all the light around them and forming a shadow domain that hid the trio.

Ezequiel's eyes pointing behind him frowned when the trio's presence vanished. He could not use the elements to learn their location or what they were doing since they were in the void. 

The next second, one of his arms moved with fantastic speed and crunched the space five centimeters above his last vertebra.

There was nothing there, but the Supreme Neo-Demon heard a crunching sound and saw how a broken arrow appeared in his palm. 

The Law of Light hid the physical aspect of the arrow and the Law of Shadow the energy, but Ezequiel still managed to catch it by relying on his instincts. 

Unfortunately, while he stopped one, two other arrows landed on his back. 

Dante had fired three arrows at the same time. Usually, even if they landed on Ezequiel's body, they could not do much damage, but the white liquid flame in their heads allowed the projectiles to pierce into his flesh.

The arrows did not provoke a severe injury, but their impulse managed to break the Supreme Neo-Demon's balance, something the close-range team would not waste.

Ezequiel managed to block three weapons, but the lightspeed sword reached his chest and cut him. The wound was superficial but was still there, and the Killing Essence hindered its healing. 

Primordial Entropy Lightning could devour any form of energy, but unlike Elemental Law Essences, Killing Essence was much harder to purge, so Ezequiel could only suppress it and not right away purge it. 

The appearance of those shallow wounds on Ezequiel's chest and back was the point when the Neo-Demons finally managed to turn the tables. 

More and more wounds appeared in the Supreme Neo-Demon as the battle carried on, and although they were shallow, they were starting to become a burden. 

Totto and Tyrus were exhausted as they used all their power to hinder World Strength's Incarnation movements. 

Dante's arms trembled as he used all his power to fire the arrows as fast as he could. Sophia and Zitra, who were by his side, mobilized their energies more quickly than ever before to reinforce the projectiles. 

Heinz, Juntu, Rax, and Kylo were all suffering from inner wounds due to the significant amount of white lightning permeating their organs.

Regardless of their condition, all the Neo-Demons were smiling as victory came closer and closer. It was just a matter of time before Ezequiel's Soul Origin drained, and the battle ended.

The Supreme Neo-Demon did his best to respond to the attacks when he detected a blast of energy behind him and saw a golden arrow appear less than a meter away from his back. 

He was surprised by the arrow showing its appearance out of nowhere, but when he felt the power in it, he understood that it was not that Zitra's ability failed.

The Bloodline Arrow had activated its ability, and the power of the Law of Light and Law of Shadow could not hide it anymore.

Ezequiel attempted to destroy the projectile away, but before he could touch it, the Bloodline Arrow transformed into hundreds of needles.

Each golden needle could severely harm a weak Rank 5 life form, and thanks to the edge of white liquid flames in them, they managed to pierce his Astral Qi and hit him. 

The needles paralyzed the Supreme Neo-Demon's body for an instant, and like if they were waiting for it, Heinz, Juntu, Rax, and Kylo made their energies explode and released their most powerful attacks.

The weapons smashed Ezequiel's chest, and the Neo-Demons could hear the sound of broken ribs. 

Unfortunately, before they could continue their offensive, a blast of white lightning pushed the close-range team away, and everybody saw how Ezequiel transformed into a lightning bolt and flashed away.

When that happened, the World Strength's Incarnation vanished and did not reappear this time. 

The Neo-Demons looked up and saw Ezequiel in Asura Form. His body had severe injuries, especially on his chest, where several destructive forces had shattered the flesh, mangled the muscles, and fractured the bones.

For a reason they could not understand, as they saw their injured opponent, the Neo-Demons felt even more distressed. 

They immediately regrouped and pushed their energies to the limit.

Ezequiel covered his mouth as he began to cough. He saw the white blood in his palm, and his eyes slowly moved to the Neo-Demons.

The Supreme Neo-Demon's expression was empty without any emotion, unlike his previous bloodthirsty smile.

Instead of calming them, this blank expression terrified the Neo-Demon as they felt their instinct screaming. 

As he clenched his bloody palm, a blast of killing intent emerged from the Supreme Neo-Demon's body and formed an immense red pillar in the void.

"Emerge, Sanctus  Bestia Entropy."
