Drake raised his palm, the sound of silk threads breaking echoing in the air. Faintly, from between Drake's fingers, streaks of crystal-clear objects reflected the sunlight.
Drake looked at the Puppet King on the side, saying, "Looking at you from before, I thought you would run away! But it seems that you're really in a hurry to die!"
In fact, after exchanging blows, Drake looked down on the Puppet King even more.
Among the various enemies that Drake had faced, there were quite a few who harbored chilling malice.
But if the opponent had a firm will, daring to bet their life for their own purpose, even if it was a malicious purpose, Drake couldn't agree with such an opponent, but he wouldn't underestimate them.
But just now, Drake could feel the Puppet King's disgraceful cowardice when facing death.
In other words, he was just a despicable and unpresentable guy, not having such a thing as will at all.
The Puppet King had healed the injuries on his body, staring fixedly at Drake, saying, "You bastard really want to kill me! Then you're not a hero at all, you're clearly a murderer!"
Drake had completely lost interest in communicating with the other party, waving his hand to directly tear apart the surrounding silk threads, stepping towards the Puppet King.
"Slaughter Rhapsody!"
The Puppet King, as Drake had felt, was a despicable and timid guy. Facing the approaching Drake, a flustered expression appeared on his face, waving his arms at Drake.
All of the objects between the two, along with the ground, were shredded, that was a net of slaughter woven from countless sharp silk threads.
Drake spread out his palm, blocking the knife-like silk threads that were being pushed over. Then bending his fingers, his other hand also grabbed over, tearing apart the large net in front of him directly with his arms.
And Drake directly passed through the broken large net, instantly closing in on the Puppet King.
But in front of the Puppet King, a giant made of various metals and rocks emerged from the ruins, swinging a hammer-like fist to smash towards Drake.
"Deus ex Machina!"
Drake raised his hand, throwing a punch. The fist of the giant that was hit instantly shattered. But perhaps because the Puppet King had installed too many silk threads on it, the giant's fist, although shattered, didn't scatter, continuing to press towards Drake.
The Puppet King was hiding in the position of the giant's chest, revealing a twisted expression.
He had almost forgotten why he had targeted Drake at the beginning. He only wanted to kill the other party in the most cruel way now.
But he didn't see Drake being crushed. In his vision, there was only an explosion of flames.
The flames erupted from the position of the giant's fist, dense net-like red lines spreading all the way from the giant's arm.
That was the Hellish Spider Silk that the Puppet King used to control the giant, being directly heated to a red-hot state by Drake's flames. Then the giant's entire arm was shattered, the gushing flames incinerating a small half of the giant's body.
The Puppet King hadn't reacted yet when he felt a huge force impact his chest, then his entire body detached from the giant, flying out.
After shattering the arm that was pressing on him, Drake directly locked onto the Puppet King in the giant's chest, directly sending him flying out.
Just as Drake was about to chase after him, a black figure appeared in front of him, wielding the damaged battle ax in her hand to force Drake back.
Drake took two steps back, looking at Ascari, who was blocking in front of the Puppet King.
After sensing the Puppet King's crisis, Ascari had chosen to break free from Stella's entanglement to rush over to rescue him.
And the price was that arm that was hanging beside her body.
Where could it be so easy to break free from Stella's grasp? After taking a punch from Stella head-on, the bones in that arm had been completely shattered.
However, after a few seconds, her arm regained its ability to move, and the aura on her body became even stronger.
Regeneration enhancement, what a disgusting ability. However, any ability had its limits or weaknesses.
Drake had already sensed Ascari's burning life. After that moment of brilliance, only ashes would remain.
Drake had nothing to say to Ascari either. However, unlike with the Puppet King, it was because Ascari had completely made her resolve.
Stella landed beside Drake, looking unhappy.
Anyone would be unhappy if their opponent suddenly ran to other places while they were fighting.
However, the Puppet King revealed a smile, that smile not meaning "Sister has come to save me, I'm saved." On the contrary, it was full of malice.
Drake frowned, watching Ascari suddenly stiffen. If Drake hadn't sensed it wrong, the Puppet King's silk threads had pierced into Ascari's body without hesitation just now, turning her into his puppet.
Then, Ascari suddenly erupted with powerful magic power.
Kurogane Ikki's Ittou Shura was a move that destroyed the instinct to survive, releasing all of one's power. And the Puppet King could forcefully control his puppets to explode with all of their potential, completely achieving Ittou Shura.
And with Ascari's strength, it was conceivable how powerful she would be after releasing Ittou Shura. However, that vast power would definitely be difficult for Ascari herself to bear.
Although her back was facing them, it was abnormal that a Blazer like Ascari had no reaction at all from being controlled to erupting with power.
It seemed that she had willingly been controlled by the other party. As Drake had thought, this woman had lost her self.
So Drake grabbed Stella, who had also discovered that Ascari had been controlled, shaking his head at her, saying, "This is her decision. All we can do is let her be free."
Stella was silent for a moment, then saying, "I'm going to smash that guy's face!"
Drake nodded, saying, "Although I don't want to dirty your hands, but... let's go together!"
While speaking, Ascari had already charged up, the battle ax directly chopping down.
Boom!
With a loud bang, the port, which had already been ravaged beyond recognition, was as if an earthquake had occurred.
The cracks on the ground directly extended to the crowd of onlookers who had retreated several kilometers away.
The Magic Knights who were maintaining order had to consider whether to continue retreating.
What kind of power a Blazer ranked fourth in the world would possess after using Ittou Shura, Ascari demonstrated vividly.
Ascari on the ground retracted her battle ax, looking up at the two flying in mid-air.
Then her figure blurred, directly chasing in front of the two, swinging her battle ax in another horizontal slash.
Drake stepped forward, blocking this ax with a punch, himself being repelled by the recoil. Stella instead welcomed it from Drake's side, slashing Ascari to the ground with a sword.
Drake stopped his retreating body, charging towards the Puppet King's direction with Stella, one in front and one behind. But Ascari blocked them halfway.
"Laevateinn Jaws!"
Stella released several giant dragons made of flames, tearing towards Ascari together.
But Ascari's ability itself focused on defense. Now, just the released powerful magic power was enough to defend against most attacks.
So she stubbornly resisted the fire dragons' tearing, not retreating at all. Until Drake crossed the raging flames, coming in front of her.
The battle before his eyes had too many situations that made Drake unhappy.
So Drake directly activated Dragon King Armed Body, a Fire Dragon's Iron Fist directly breaking through Ascari's magic power defense, sending her flying.
And Stella also took advantage of this time to approach the Puppet King.
"You're the culprit of everything, right?"
Although she was asking, Stella had no intention of waiting for the other party to answer, instead directly throwing a punch.
At such a close distance, even Ascari couldn't block Stella's full-force strike, let alone the Puppet King.
The silk threads that the Puppet King had set up around were snapping inch by inch under Stella's powerful force, then Stella's violent punch directly slammed into the Puppet King's body.
The Puppet King was directly smashed into the ground, all of the power of that punch being borne without any loss.
If you didn't understand what it meant to be unrecognizable, the Puppet King's current appearance would be very illustrative.
The Puppet King's body muscles were shattered, his bones broken, all mixed together into an indescribable mess.
Stella retracted her fist, exhaling a breath. Then she looked worriedly at mid-air.
The reason why she had used such a heavy hand was to hopefully rescue the controlled Ascari. But Ascari in mid-air was still attacking Drake recklessly.
Then Stella saw Drake waving his hand, blocking Ascari, instead charging towards her side.
Before she could ask, Drake had already come beside her, raising his hand to grab at the air beside her.
"Really, don't be distracted during battle. You're really worrying me!"
Stella clearly heard the cracking sounds coming from Drake's palm, that was the sound of the silk threads rubbing against Drake's gauntlet, the Dragon Slayer.
Stella looked in surprise at the Puppet King, who had already become an indescribable mess. This guy was actually still alive.
Drake also had to sigh at the strangeness of Blazers, especially Demon Person-level Blazers. Whether it was Naseem or the Puppet King, it was the same.
It was good that the Demon People he knew were still normal.
Drake released a large amount of flames in his hand, directly igniting the silk threads in his hand.
The silk threads directly turned into fire threads, extending out to directly ignite the Puppet King, who had become a mess.
That indescribable mess had already begun to turn back into a human form, but it had turned into a huge torch, even emitting piercing screams.
The Puppet King had indeed died after being hit by Stella's punch. He had relied on that malice towards the world, launching his last and most brutal Device technique.
"Necromantic Game!"
Concentrating the silk threads and power that could control thousands of people on one person, possessing the strongest control and destructive power.
But unfortunately, the power to control thousands of people wasn't enough to control Drake alone.
The Puppet King's end was just a boring performance offered by an overestimating clown.
Ascari slowly walked over, passing in front of the two who were standing shoulder to shoulder, walking towards the Puppet King, who had already become a torch.
That invincible armor that represented "Unbending" crumbled apart, revealing the girl inside, who looked rather fragile.
She walked step by step towards the burning Puppet King, like a moth flying towards a flame, hugging the Puppet King without hesitation, letting herself burn together.
Stella reached out her hand, then putting it down powerlessly. For some reason, she always felt that there was no joy in victory.
Drake took Stella's hand, he understood the girl's thoughts. This battle was meaningless to begin with, it was normal for Stella to feel disappointed.
Watching the two turn into ashes in the flames, Drake also sighed.
However, Drake's gaze quickly turned overseas. With Drake's vision, he could clearly see the huge warships in the distant sea.
That was the Bald Eagle's fleet, it seemed that this storm was far from over.
