Situation summary:
Clara and Lucy only remain half of their mana left.
Hazen is seriously injured inside and outside, however his fighting spirit is still flaring up higher and higher.
Dino remains 2 cards left in the deck, The Judgement has disappeared after accomplishing its job on Hazen, these 3 minutes overtime work is the last mercy it gives to the user.
Ian and Luker are still good in general, they only got injured a bit on arms and legs, their viscera are still intact.
Himeno is in the worst condition, even though Cantarella doesn't want to damage her, her body is unable to tolerate the pressure of borrowing that power. Time is limited, according to this condition, she only can fight for 5 minutes totally.
Finally, Aranta, he only lost a leg, however it just takes him a second to recover.
Aranta: "Hey Yujin, is there any way else to solve this problem?"
Yujin: "No, the traitor must betrays others. There's only one side is able to live."
Aranta (serious): "Alright, so that's your choice."
He rapidly steps forward, a fast strike is driven straight to Yujin, of course, it's to ideal for that attack.
*Smack* - That strike has actually hit Yujin's face. The explosion of the sudden air compression at the colliding point - it shows that how strong the strike is.
However, with all that effort, Aranta can't even wobble Yujin for a little bit. This is too overwhelming.
He can't accept it, Aranta changes the position, accumulating aura in his right fist, ready for a decisive strike.
*Thud - Crack* - He lands it successfully, straight into the solar plexus of Yujin, that's strong enough to cause another explosion at the colliding point.
However the broken things are his fist and wrist, Yujin doesn't even get any injure after all, this is unfair.
Aranta: "Can I join yo..."
*Crack* - Unlike Aranta, Yujin doesn't need to use those cumbrous movements to release enough force for a strike, he can directly unleashes countless strikes with the exact amount of energy he wants at the same time.
And the only sound they can hear is all their bones are broken beneath those strikes.
Of course, with that power, all their efforts can't even stun him for a second.
Clara: "What is this power?"
Lucy: "Do it Clara."
This is what they've discussed up to now, the combination of thunder and water.
Lucy instantly casts ten spells at the same time, on the contrary, Clara only does one.
After setting up everything, Clara expands her domain via the large magic circle, however this time the domain only takes charge of the prison locking Yujin inside it.
Suddenly the water raising up, drowning him into the ocean deeper and deeper - where the thunder spear is waiting to be released.
Holy relic - Thunder spear of Azan - the spear eliminated all the sins and crimes in Clara's old realm.
Even though Lucy only charges the spear to awake it, however she is the most important link in this plan.
Suddenly everything is shaken by the unknown force, it doesn't take a whole second, Lucy and Clara are sent back to the vestige.
Lucy: "What... is this?"
Yujin now is even stronger than Amexk - which means his authority is easily allowing himself to rewind the reality without any limit or side effects.
Aranta: "Not that easy, traitor."
*Thud - Crack* - No matter how many times he tries to attack, all the results are his failures. Aranta can't even stand up beneath the unleashed pressure from Yujin.
Yujin: "This is exactly unfair to you all I promise. However I have no duty to give out my mercy."
*Badum - Badum* - Something is beating out loud, something is awaken.
*Badum - Badum* - "I hear your desire."
"What would you do after this apocalypse evaporate?"
Even though he knew that it's a lie, however, how could he be that heartless? How could he crush that tiny wish to pieces?
"Perhaps... I'd arrive that place."
His eyes reflected an endless hunger, he wanted to observe that world.
In the forsaken dimension, at a ruined realm, there's a dim light non-stop flickering - as an unfinished dream.
Hazen: "I hear your desire."
Larias shines up again, a wind slightly dances around - following it a calling of death, cruelly destroying everything.
That unreasonable power and cruelty have waken the fire inside him - the fire that he thought it had faded away. Hurt! Burn! It's burning - frantic and excruciating - it's burning.
Hazen: "Don't you run?"
Dino: "Watch your tongue fool."
Ian: "Get lost, I'll handle this sh*t by myself."
*Crack* - A spear suddenly breaks the sky, it appears in the sky, releasing a deadly aura. It even drowns the whole sky above in the crimson of blood.
The space even breaks to pieces, hiding in the firmament, thunder resounded through the nine realms.
Immediately, Lukers raises his hand up, clutching the spear rushing down as thunder.
He knows that if he didn't push himself right now, he wouldn't have that chance again.
Luker: "I'll do first."
Ian: "Hey, do you know how to queue?"
No reply, he leaps up, straight toward Yujin as a meteor.
Holding the spear of calamity, Luker uses his ultimate technique for a decisive blow - Star Breaker.
500 years of killing, 500 years of fighting, 500 years for holding that spear tightly - Luker is different, he had no one to rely on, he had no one to companion, it's only him and himself alone in that cruel world of calamities.
"My soul bathes in blood, deep in the crimson of calamity. This heart is made of agony, binding to the endless realm of lost souls. My mind immerses in the madness of wondering - let's dance, dance in this bloody arena, dancing to the last second of my life."
Contract: Bloody Lady - At that chaos realm, Luker didn't stand a chance at struggling with those entities. Until he met her, Bloody Lady of the distant star, this spear of calamity actually came from that contract.
Luker: "Amaterasu."
*Clash* - A black flame burns up, devastating everything include the space surrounding them as an esurient monster.
However Yujin takes no damage for that strike, that shiny aura has protected him from every outside danger.
Luker: "Ridiculous."
*Crack - Bang - Bang - Bang* - He instantly recalls the spear for parrying those strikes from the betrayer five feet far from him.
However that effort only lets him gets back three big holes on the body. This is unfair.
Luker: "What is this bias?"
*Clash* - Ian instantly covers Luker with a high speed counter for the following 4 strikes from Yujin.
Of course, Hazen reasonably appears behind him, aiming for a stab through his heart.
However it's too obvious, ridiculously, he even missed that stab. It didn't take Yujin a second to surprise.
Yujin rapidly turns back, he land directly an elbow strike to Hazen's face - *Crack* - he even crushed his skull to pieces.
Following that is two strikes via his aura to Ian and Luker, no sound, no afterimage and even no oscillate in spacetime.
Instant back up! Dino activates The Guardian in the isolation, immediately saving them from those attacks.
Dino: "I swear this bias is even more ridiculous than my Jackpot combo."
Dino: "Is there anyone has holy relic?"
Ian: "I'm broken."
Luker: "My spear is a holy relic, however I need to feed it with blood, the currency isn't enough to solve that traitor."
*Crack* - Another spear comes from nowhere and stays in his hand. Luker doesn't know what it is.
Clara: "Bruh, it's my holy relic, don't broke it."
Luker: "Aight, appreciate, lady."
Ian: "Your communicating skills are buns dude."
Luker: "Shut up, you better get back your weapon."
Holy Relics - The unique creations used to appear in this vestige at the primal era, however they all stopped existing after the third apocalypse of Outer Worms. The Core had been destroyed by them in the ancient war of outer entities.
And this thunder spear is one of them, covered by a shiny gold layer, lancet arch sparkles a halo of heaven - Spear of Heaven: Olomista.
Luker: "Not bad."
*Crack* - Instantly eliminating, Yujin releases a shot directly to Luker's head. Without no delay, it hit Luker and killed him even less than a second.
Clara: "Bruh, really?"
For buying him time to recover, Ian grabs that spear and his sword then leaping to the sky. This is the ultimate move of himself, as known as the strongest wanderer in his old realm, Ian isn't weak.
As other entities, Ian also had developed his own path before stepping on this stage.
Ian: "For the purpose of stalling, I'm Ian Breavas. Used to be known as the strongest wanderer in Latica, I have no wife, no child, my hobby is..."
*Clash - Clash - Clash* - Even before the sounds echoed around, Ian had already parried three fatal blows from Yujin.
*Clash - Clash* - Two other strikes have been parried, he somersaults one time, two times, three times.
*Clash* - Another strike, this cause him madness raising up.
Ian: "Hey you *! Can you just the * let me finish my introduction?"
*Clash* - Yujin replied nothing but a strike straight to Ian, as usual, it got parried again.
Ian (serious): "I will shatter you."
Sword art of Wanderers: Endless Flow - Destruction Mode.
He swings the golden spear and crystal sword as fast as possible, totally parrying every blows from Yujin.
That's surprising, even Yujin can't predict the way Ian parry, it's too perfect, as if he has an automatic fighting system ruling his body.
Ian rushes forward, those hands still holding those weapons, he stops and boosts, dodges aside, dashes around at a predator hunting around in its zone.
Yujin: "Interesting."
He raises up more and more invisible hands, those all leap up toward Ian - who is still jumping around and around.
*Clash - Clash* - Those annoying sounds keep echoing again and again, they're both showing how hard Ian's trying. Except Luker and Dino, all the people existing in that battlefield honestly didn't put their hopes on Ian's shoulders.
They have no expectation for him, however, they can't even believe that person is saving them right now.
Sword art of Wanderers: Endless Flow - Berserker.
His eyes turn all red, so does his hair, they all reflect the bloody lights of madness. This is the trump card of Ian, by forcing himself to the edge, sacrificing his sanity temporarily for the short term power.
Ian: "Yu-jin!"
Yujin (provoking): "Come here."
As he wishes, that monster instantly rushes toward him without any hesitation, the crystal sword also evolve to another level. It looks like a greatsword, however the blade as long as a spear, the handle is also longer than normal twice.
With those features, Yujin doesn't even need to consider, it's obviously a two-hand weapon. And for this kind of weapon, Yujin has been countered for almost his life, nevertheless, the most important thing is about the swordman's technique.
Yujin: "Hope you don't let me down."
*Boom - Bang - Whirr - Crack* - A bunch of sounds are unleashed as a hammer strike driving straight to Yujin's ear. Ian has arrived within a second, he slams that greatsword upon Yujin's head without any hesitation.
Great, that's dumb as hell. Yujin doesn't need to do anything, a countless strikes instantly hit Ian, knocking him back to his starting point.
Non-stop, another wave of energy follows it and slams into him. Yujin doesn't let Ian has a chance to breathe.
So does Ian. He instantly leaps up, this is a trap, he directly dives on Yujin. As usual, it's worth nothing, however the true attack is the following strike after the first slash.
It is the mana slash following the first physical slash via chains of energy were bound to the greatsword. This is the cheap trick to counter the automatic countering system of Ascension Force, even though it does work, however Ian forgot that Yujin doesn't counter with just one strike.
Ascension Force is the incarnation of Yujin's morale power in physical universe. It's his nearest reflection, do I need to remind you who Yujin is? The reflection of a perfection, it's unstoppable in their visions.
Luker: "Spear!"
Both the golden and the thunder spear instantly fly toward him, this is the last effort, not even Ian, Luker also wants to bet this life.
Dino: "Not that fast."
There's no reason for our Magician keeps staying aside, he activates all the card in the zone of isolation, fulfilling the last requirement of the trump card.
Dino: "You have some debt to pay, Yujin."
Then suddenly, out of nowhere and for no reason, the music starts playing.
Far from Luker's back, there's a great silhouette is placing his fingers on the last shiny card remaining in the deck. This is the turning point of the war, it isn't unreasonable for him to save this card for the last one.
The World: "Standing for the embodiment of perfection, your desires, your wishes are now all in your hand."
Requirements:
Using up all 19 previous cards and sending them to the zone of isolation.
Going through the cycle of life then death and getting enlightened by The Hermit at the end.
"You will find out the truth."
The aura is expanding throughout a corner of the sky, the light of heaven is non-stop blessing him.
Dino now looks like the chosen one, everything will be determined after he draws this card.
Now, behold!
Dino: "Walking through the path of destruction, I've observed the truth of death."
Dino: "Strolling on the entire path of creation, I believe in fate and perfection."
Dino: "My heart contains emotions, my warm blood is my incarnation."
Dino: "Perfect, complete and true, I've walked down the road of isolation."
Dino: "In the silence of the inevitable occurrence."
Dino: "For this crystal heart of imperfective fragments."
Dino: "Even if the cost is my devastation."
Dino: "I sent you to the oblivion."
After the incantations, Dino finally unlocked the last card of main deck - The World.
The unleashed aura can even recover everyone on his side, however it contains the power of destruction.
It even knocks back every strike from Yujin - which means Dino is unreachable right now.
He puts his hands together in opposite directions, at the space between them, the light of destruction has been appeared.
Dino draws the card, it's powerful enough to threaten Yujin.
Dino: "This is the end."
Yujin: "I see."
"I dedicate this requiem to you."
Authority of Amexk - Reality Rewind instantly is activated. It immediately negated the activation of The World, in the other words, Dino can't activate it again in next 10 minutes.
This is the side effect of The World, the matter isn't if he just activates it or not - because when the reality is set back to the start - which means the action of activating doesn't exist in reality.
The true problem is when Dino declared via the incantations, he had already lost his opportunity to draw or activate anything in the deck for the next 10 minutes.
No matter if the reality is set back or not, he had lost it.
Dino: "F* you man."
Yujin: "Save it when you get to hell."
*Clash - Clash* - Ian has taken the advantage, he rushed toward Yujin to land all the wrath that he's been accumulating up to the present time.
Berserker and Destruction Mode allow him to gain much more strength basing on his rage.
Luker doesn't stand aside, he also rushes to Yujin with his couple of spears, he also has his own ultimate move. And now is his chance to perform it to others.
Luker: "Spear of Calamity: Shattered Sky!"
He knows that this move can't even damage to Yujin, however it's still better than do nothing.
Luker: "Spear of Justice: Light of Heaven."
This is the most enormous gamble in his life, back to his old journey, Luker always ran and counterkilled the enemies in the fastest way then withdrew as rapidly as possible.
It's reasonable, he was the only one survived in that realm and the enemies were over a number of two billions. That's all his effort to outline in that broken world.
Luker: "Can't believe that one day I need to face this kind of cataclysm."
Dino: "Buy me time, just 9 more minutes."
Luker: "Hope that we can survive beneath that power for over just a half of your requirement."
Stop making nonsense, Luker starts rushing toward Yujin, so does Ian.
They force him to a pincer, attacking from both front and rear.
Holding in his hand the greatsword, Ian lands a heavy strike down upon Yujin's nape, on the contrary, Luker is pushing his two spears toward Yujin, trying to break through the Ascension Force.
His ultimate move is activating, the spear of calamity is working with its all capacity - the thunderous aura is releasing out side, strengthening the power of the strike.
In his left hand, the golden spear suddenly starts shining, it unleashed an unstoppable holy light - consolidating Luker in the holy armor of heaven. His fighting power instantly increases unreasonably.
*Clash* - Both the greatsword and spears are stopped at the distance of 5 centimeters far from Yujin, it's obviously the automatic system of Ascension Force.
*Crack* - Luker's right arm is instantly broken beneath the unleashed pressure of that power in close range.
*Clash - Clash - Clash* - Ian is frantically swinging his greatsword, the blade is non-stop colliding with Ascension Force, however all his efforts are nothing but a helpless struggle.
Detonation - Ian even unleashes his all power, for each time his blade touch the target, it all explodes at the meeting point.
The sounds *Bang* of explosions are non-stop echoing through out this vestige, however...
*Smack* - It just took Yujin a strike to knock out Ian immediately without any signal, the sound *Bang* for that strike even overwhelmed all the berserker's efforts.
Ian falls back, that strike blew him flying backward in the air as a ragdoll.
Observing it, Luker instantly covered his companion with a counter strike, however the price it costed was his left hand.
Unfortunately, according to the side effect of The World, if Dino moves right now, he will lose that trump card immediately - which means the passing 2 minutes they bought for him just make no sense.
Dino: "Six, six more minutes!"
Luker: "I'm trying."
Himeno: "Let me help."
Luker: "Don't! Stay back, cover Dino and about this fight, just let us handle it."
The rule is Dino can't move, however if he is pulled or dragged by other forces, it means that he doesn't move by himself, still legal.
*Crack* - Instantly assaulted by Yujin, Luker's skull has been broken beneath a single brutal strike.
Ian rapidly rushes toward him, holding the greatsword, he tries everything to apply detonation on Yujin even if it's just a scratch.
Nevertheless, life isn't that easy, the arbitrary movement has caused him the loss of the lower half of his body.
Now all the roadblocks have been removed, Yujin instantly shifts himself to the front of Dino and Himeno, it's time for execution.
Luker: "Not that fast."
Clara immediately built up two walls, one to block the strike from Yujin, one for pushing him away by rising with the 30 degree angle.
And the destination is the meeting point of the heavy strike from Ian's blade, *Bang* - the explosion drowns him in a powerful destruction.
It works! By accumulating the mana only in the blade edge, Ian has successfully cut through Ascension Force. Even though it's just a small scratch, however it's still enough for an enormous detonation directly into Yujin's nape.
*Bap* - Yujin took no damage at all, he even took this advantage to grab Ian's face.
*Thud - Crack - Crack - Bang* - Eliminating him with just a down slam directly to the ground, the surface is immediately broken to pieces - forming an enormous depression at that place.
*Clash* - The spear of calamity drops down upon his head on purpose, Luker comes out of nowhere via an invisible portal.
He stabs the golden spear immersing in holy light toward Yujin, he's aiming for a decisive strike at his heart.
As usual, the automatic system of Ascension Force has automatically stopped and countered it with a direct strike upon Luker's face.
"If it's perfection, then you've found its weakness."
Luker: (If he's the perfection.)
He dodges it rapidly, letting the spear of calamity go, Luker rotates his upper half body to the right while stepping forward a step.
It's too convenient for a fast strike with the golden spear to Yujin's right flank.
*Crack* - A fast kick has sent Luker back to his starting point, Yujin even crushed all his ribcage to dust within a kick.
*Bang - Bang* - Detonation, Ian is landing other slices again on Yujin, even though it makes no sense at all, he still wants to bet or even it's just a random action in his unconsciousness.
Nothing special, Yujin has taken them down again after all, this is the difference about level existence.
"Starlight: The Fallen Night!"
Out of nowhere, here comes another uninvited guest - she has a cyan hair, it's sparkling the light of aurora, those hazy, shiny and transparent green and blue drop down her shoulders as the true aurora borealis stretching though out the night sky above them.
Lina (yawning): "So you are the traitor?"
Yujin silently observes everything while eliminating her domain. He doesn't move in a hurry, he knows that there's not just an unexpected guest.
However Luker and Ian don't, they both rush to him again, holding tight their weapons and landing other strikes again and again on him.
Nevertheless, all their efforts are worth nothing, nothing at all.
Lina: "Luker, right? Do you need help?"
Luker: "If you don't want to die after our deaths, you better try your best."
Alyne: "What a cocky guy."
Tempest: Thunderous Sky - Lina swings her holy relic (staff) up to the sky, summoning the tornados containing the endless wave of lighting.
Following that, Alyne starts creating the countless ice spears stretching over all the sky above, they're both stronger than anyone here.
Himeno and Lucy only can look at them and feel disappointed, after all, they're still so small in this world.
*Clash - Bang* - This time isn't Ian, he's Hazen, by accumulating power to Larias, he can actually reach to Yujin right now.
Yujin: "Existence Erasing."
Hazen: "Hah sh*t, I hate you so much man, can you just show your interested face for just a second?"
*Clash - Clash* - Unlike Ian, Hazen changes Larias to the normal sword for maximizing his attack speed. That's the reason why he can reflex fast enough to parry every attack from Yujin in his automatic system.
Yujin: "Appreciate."
*Clash* - Luker tries to stab his spears through him again, however this time, he sees it, he witness a crack has appeared on Ascension Force at the meeting point.
Luker: "Arghhh!"
Yujin: "Annoying."
*Crack - Keng* - The golden spear drops down on the ground, even though he has taken that blow on head, this time he isn't sent flying again.
By sacrificing the left arm for blocking, Luker has opened an opportunity to stab his spear breakthrough that unfair power by himself.
Luker: "Ian!!!"
Although he's in his madness, even though he can't hear that voice, Ian somehow still leaps forward, diving directly to Yujin's head.
They both bet everything on this gambling game.
Dino: "Two more!"
Yujin doesn't even care about Dino, no matter if he can actually activate the last trump card, it only takes Yujin a movement to rewind the reality again. Dino's aware of it, he knows it, but what else can he do now? He can't use it again, that's his promise.
Dino: (Rystias...)
Yujin: "Too crowded right now."
He instantly unleashed a deadly aura, Ascension Force follows that and burns itself even harder. Continuously punching, even Hazen with Larias, Ian and Luker, including both Lina and Alyne, they're all knocked back within just a wave of attack.
Himeno: "Lucy."
Lucy: "Don't!"
Himeno: "I burn..."
"Water stream - Endless waves in the ocean"
"Whirlwind - Cycle of Heaven and Earth."
Each of his hand using a different technique, water on the right, wind bursting on the left, they both weave to each other and form the whole picture of the greatness of nature.
Aranta plays the role of hero this time, he appears from nowhere, parrying all the next strikes from Yujin.
Aranta: "Not too fast, Yujin."
Yujin: "Let me guess."
He has observed carefully, Hazen suddenly came out of nowhere, even Yujin can't see through that dimension, after that was Aranta.
And for the common point, Yujin has realized that there's another one, who has immediately disappeared as soon as Aranta occurred.
Yujin: "The third one."
He instantly raises his left hand up to his chest height, at his rear, directly catching a girl. She is who has helped both Aranta and Hazen enter and leave her isolated dimension.
Henayalis: "Himeno, Lucy, Alyne, help!"
Alyne: "I though that you just ran away."
Hanayalis: "Say less, help me, I'm gonna die."
Nevertheless, for some reason, he suddenly lets her free in their confusions.
Henayalis: "Aw~ You're so kind."
No reply, he steps through them without any explanation.
*Cap* - A guy instantly appears from the front of Yujin, 5 meters far away from him.
Yujin: "Interesting, you can even deceive my senses, can't you?"
Adaman: "Somehow you can recognize my ability like that."
Of course, if there's a traitor, there'll be the one is chosen to defeat him - Adaman the Ruler.
The Ruler is the role of referee, standing on the opposite side of the betrayer, obviously, he's not weak.
Adaman: "So, let's move on."
Unlike those weak opponents Yujin has cleared previously, Adaman gives him an unsure hesitation in his mind.
Yujin: (Ruler... interesting.)
Outer Space, at the empire of darkness, at the throne that DoD sits proudly on it.
Instantly a silhouette appears inside the hall, he's X as known as Xenosis, he steps one step forward, downs his right leg, bows his head as a servant whenever appearing in front of the emperor.
X: "Your Majesty."
DoD: "You've done well."
X: "That's my honor, your Majesty."
The deity of darkness shows nothing but a cold face, then he unleashes the aura of the true emperor, directly crushing X to fragments.
That wrath even breaks the spacetime to pieces, however it's not his arbitrarily action.
Everything always has a reason.
DoD (threatening): "You have a second."
X: "I don't get it, your Majesty."
After that, the pressure is even strengthened up to two more levels, DoD doesn't even hesitate, he knows that this guy isn't X.
Hynovise (smirking): "Hahah, thought that I could deceive you for a little bit more."
DoD: "I don't mind to let you know that I realized it at the start, and even your plan, it's all in my hand."
Hynovise (giggling): "Anyway, you can't stop me."
The pressure raises up to a higher level, another level, again, another higher level. It all smashes Hynovise to pieces.
Hynovise: "I've won this time."
DoD (smirking): "I don't think so."
*Boom - Bang* - Yujin has been sent flying.
Waving the smoke aside, Adaman rushing toward him with an axe. Leaping forward, he holds it tightly, being ready for a strike straight down on Yujin's head.
*Clash - Clash - Clash* - The sounds of colliding are non-stop echoing around, however all the strikes from Yujin can't even stop Adaman for a little bit, his down strike is unstoppable.
As a unmatched champion, Adaman has cut down Yujin's right arm without any challenge.
Adaman: "Are you running?"
Yujin replies nothing, there's no time to waste, he rushing forward, aiming for a fast strong blow.
*Thud* - However, he suddenly got gored by Ian from the left. Even though it landed no damage on him, however the perfectly planned trajectory has been deflected.
Which means now Yujin's neck is firmly in the axe blade.
*Clash* - Reality Rewind, according to the existence of the same level entity, Yujin can't abuse it to defeat Adaman instantly.
However he can't even make everything too beneficial for him, so does Adaman, they are in the equilibrium, who moves first is who reveals the weakness.
Nevertheless, Yujin can abuse it to move himself backward for a little bit, the previous colliding sound started from the blade and his teeth.
Advantage! He rotates the shoulders and hip, landing an upper cut straight to Adaman's chin.
Keep rotating, he disarmed Adaman, however he instantly got ambushed by Luker.
Yujin: (Nice.)
He immediately throws the axe to his left hand, following the inertia, keeping rotating to the right side.
*Clash* - The blade of the axe is instantly driven to collide with the spear of calamity, Yujin rapidly shrinks himself, somersaulting over Luker.
He instantly rotates himself, swinging the golden spear toward Yujin's head - *Clash* - parried.
Luker fuses them both together - forming a longer dark spear - he swings it up to the sky, trying to cut Yujin to half - Ultimate move: Sky Breaker.
Non-stop at that, Ian instantly dives down from the sky - Ultimate move: Earth Destroyer.
*Clash* - Ascension Force has parried it, buying Yujin time to escape from that pincer and the up-coming trap from Clara.
At the left side, where Yujin has chosen to swerved, there're thousands ice stakes waiting for him to enter their zone.
Lina instantly summons pillars of starlight, they drop down on Yujin, devastating everything in range. On the contrary, Alyne only stands aside and observes everything in silence, she is feeling something weird.
Alyne: (Yujin... Yujin? Yujin...)
He's standing strong beneath those enemies' efforts, without any weariness, Yujin leisurely recovers everything.
Adaman: "So what are you going to do next, Yujin?"
He keeps quiet, however Ascension Force doesn't. It's burning everything surrounding Yujin, it's going to be wild.
Yujin knows that he can't win this battle with this rough power, it needs to be more delicate.
Sharp, compact and deadly, Ascension Force has become its true form what it's supposed to be.
Yujin: (Finally, aren't you really dissatisfied?)
Adaman again rushes toward Yujin without any hesitation, however within just a second, he instantly dodges to the right side and jumps back to the start.
In the confusion of Ian and Luker, Adaman keeps stepping back two more steps, he has realized something.
However Hazen doesn't want to stand still anymore, he abuses the dimension of Henayalis to assassinate Yujin in a decisive blow.
Adaman: "Get out!"
Too late, without any signal, his head has been cut down.
At that moment, everybody has been aware of the true calamity is coming.
Unlike the previous attacks, Yujin chose to eliminate everything within a slice as what he used to do.
This time, there's no longer a miracle for them, Hazen has been killed, he died while opening his eyes.
Yujin: "You all have been performed very well, I appreciate it."
Adaman: "What are you talking about?"
Yujin: "You'll see it soon."
The sparkling light above him is moving, it's Lina, she still tries to kill him after all.
However Alyne instantly stops it, she summons a barrier covering him inside it. She doesn't even care about her companion's surprise or protest.
Alyne calmly approaches Yujin without any defense, then they face each other, naturally and inevitably.
Alyne: "You're Yujin right?"
Yujin: "Yes I am."
Then she turns back, summons her staff and starts using it. The countless ice weapons are formed in just a second, they all point to everyone surrounding them as a declaration.
Alyne: "He's my destiny."
Lina: "Alyne! Are you crazy? He's the betrayer."
Without any hesitation or explanation, Alyne immediately raises up her staff, suddenly on Lina's face, appearing a slight bloody line.
Alyne: "I won't say it again, he's my destiny. You better withdraw Lina."
Lina (confused): "Aight aight, you're always like that."
Then she rotates herself again, facing Yujin directly, she holds his hands tightly with the happiness.
Alyne: "Finally, I can find you."
Yujin: "Seems like we have many things to explain, however..."
He instantly unleashes his Ascension Force, instantly parrying three far range strikes of Adaman.
Yujin: "We have something to execute right now."
Alyne (smiling): "Let's dance together."
On the other side, Adaman isn't happy with this situation, there's something reflecting inside his eyes.
"Kill them. Kill them. Kill them. Kill them..."
Adaman (muttering): "Kill... them."
*Bang* - A heavy strike suddenly knocks Yujin back two steps, it wasn't Ian or Luker, neither Adaman.
Dino (serious): "I hate to say it but..."
Dino (sighing): "Dammit!"
Dino: "Malavaska, Larituast, Pulgragist, Ratimatias."
He gently touches the deck, instantly isolating it. Dino has accepted the truth, he can't win within these 20 cards.
Dino: "Respond to me, Devil."
The Dealer of Hell: "If you have money, nothing is impossible."
+ Paying with coins, you will be able to make a contract with a creature from hell.
Dealer: "Hai hai, I'm the broker of Helheilm. Give me the price, I won't let you down."
Dino: "Shut up Dealer, it's no time for being goofy. Call them all."
Dealer: "What is that demeanor? At least give me a coin first."
*Crack* - Yujin instantly eliminates him without any signal, no one knows what it is he aims for, however it seems like he doesn't want to play anymore.
Dino: "That's what I just told you, idiot."
*Boom* - It's only a punch, Yujin has torn Dino to three different pieces by just the pressure in front of that strike.
Dino: "Lady Luck!"
"Don't worry, I'm always on your side."
Lady Luck: "In her hand, fortune dances. For just a kiss, and kingdoms rise – or fall."
+ Dance of Fortune: Instantly give the user Gifted Luck (available in 3 minutes, no matter if it disappears by itself or not, in those 3 minutes, it's always on your side.)
Adaman: "Kill."
*Clash* - Yujin instantly blocked that strike, turning to the left side while dragging Adaman's arm.
*Crack* - That strike broke the ribs, the force even blew him away from Yujin - he even tears that arm down as a handy work to do.
Yet, Gifted Luck is activated.
Lady Luck - Blessing of Fortune: Whenever Gifted Luck is still available, the user is unstoppable.
*Bap - Bap* - Out of nowhere, no one can really figure out how Dino got that power, he even dueled Yujin with ease.
*Crack* - With an elbow slash, Dino instantly destroys all the ice spears.
*Clash* - Yujin has tried to land a strike, however it just takes Dino a second to parry it clearly.
Alyne: "Yujin."
He instantly jumps up, leaving Dino at the center of the trap.
The magical circle under the ground shines up - trapping Dino in the eternal ice column.
*Clash* - Luker and Ian both rushed toward Yujin, aiming for a golden chance; however their weapons only collided to each other after all.
*Crack* - Yujin instantly shifted himself to their rear - a heavy strike crushed Luker's skull to pieces.
Ian in Berserker Mode isn't scared about it, he keeps moving toward Yujin, raising the greatsword for one last strike.
Yes, you heard right, this is his last strike. Berserker Mode does allow him to dance as much as he want, however the pressure doesn't disappear - it only accumulates itself and waits for the time to reach its end.
*Clash* - Unfortunately, he can't even break the ice shield of Alyne.
Ian falls back with his discomfort and helplessness - *Thud - Ah!* - Blood starts gushing throughout his body, from every wounds on himself.
Ian: "Ah sh*t, life isn't fair at all."
He silently carves everything into his mind, he knows that there's no longer a space for him or anyone else here to join that battle.
*Clash - Bap - Bap - Clash - Crack* - Yujin and Dino keep dueling each other as the true martial artists - attacking and blocking, offense and even defense, they are both doing very well to counter each other.
*Flash* - Alyne instantly interrupt them, she blinded Dino with a light bomb directly to his eyes, it causes his temporary blindness. Surrounding by darkness and unseen threats, seems like this is the end.
*Bap - Thud* - Adaman came out of nowhere, he immediately blocked that strike from Yujin, saving Dino one time. However it's heavy as hell, Adaman can't even stand strong beneath the second strike straight on his face.
Yet, it's enough, those precious three seconds are enough for Dino to adapt this condition.
Blessing of Fortune: Whenever Gifted Luck is still available, the user is unstoppable.
*Bap* - At the third strike, Dino has parried it with ease, he even followed Yujin's arm to weave through him by his right side.
*Crack* - A heavy strike is landed from the rear, even though Yujin has blocked it and gotten no damage, but his left arm is broken totally.
Although it isn't a matter to Yujin, however it's a good signal,
isn't it?
*Crack* - It's just a strike, yet, Dino's skull was broken to pieces.
Even though the luck is blessing him, Yujin still can eliminate Dino in a strike.
"available in 3 minutes, no matter if it disappears by itself or not, in those 3 minutes, it's always on your side..."
Instantly recovering from it, Dino immediately steps back two steps. He's aware of it - the death is smiling on him.
Dino: (Disgusting power.)
Malavaska, Lord of the 13th Inferno: Warden of Eternal Death.
However the condition doesn't allow Dino to abuse this ability, he only can borrow 10% power of each authority.
Dino: "Dealer, more!"
Dealer: "Szzzzz, thankfully for you I'm a nice guy."
Larituast, Bound in Helheilm: The Cruel Inferno.
Pulgragist, Preacher of Hellish Bibble: The Fallen Saint.
Ratimatias, Conquistador of Tartarus: The Emperor of Limbo.
They are all the entities in Lord Rank of Helheilm, they actually can help Dino passing through this calamity, however they rather see him struggling in darkness than carry him generally.
Dino: "I'll take this sh*t, thanks then."
Luck!
*Fab* - A card has been drawn.
The Greed: Draw 2 cards without any price.
Dino: (Nice.)
*Crack - Clash* - Alyne immediately realizes it, she tries to stop Dino with everything she can do. However this "luck" is not unpredictable, all the attacks are all disappeared while touching the green aura surrounding him.
Alyne: "This isn't luck! You're cheating."
Dino: "You're right."
*Fab* - Two cards have been drawn.
Dino: "I do cheat."
*Bap* - Yujin instantly gets blocked from Dino, he even counters Yujin with a fast strike.
First card - The Sin: Steal back 3 cards from the isolation zone, however for the next 3 cards, they're all negated.
(The Joker, The Hermit, Gifted Luck are selected - 4 cards on hands).
In short, Gifted Luck from the passive of Lady Luck is an alternative for the true Gifted Luck card in main deck - which means there're able to exist more than one Gifted Luck when Dino unleashes both the main and extra deck.
Jackpot combo from The Joker and Gifted Luck is activated, however the alternative one still available so Dino doesn't need to waste one more card.
Which mean he now has three cards on hands, two from The Joker, another three cards from gambling "as usual". Now, double them all to the final number - 16 cards totally.
Dino now has no limit, it's been a minute, he keeps dueling with Yujin, blocking and countering Alyne for the whole process of card activating.
Now the battlefield is in the equilibrium, Adaman can't even stand up for some reason.
Yujin: (Suspicious.)
Instantly his knees down on the ground, the pressure is even enough to limit Yujin.
Gravity: Unleash a pressure, crush everything to dust.
Don't forget that The Devil is still available.
The Fool is activated - Yujin "accidentally" slips back.
Hand of Devil: Summon a part of the user's contracted demon to destroy everything. (13 cards remain)
Yujin and Alyne both get pressed tightly into the ground.
Yujin (sound transmitting): (Run away, I can solve this problem.)
Ascension Force! Yujin instantly negated all the previous three cards - leaping up, he lands a strike directly to Dino's face.
*Boom* - It's dangerous, Yujin only sees Dino got blurred and shifted 2 meters far from him.
Yujin: (Reality Manipulation.)
Copycat: "Show me, all you have."
+ Mimic all the abilities from one card in 3 minutes (selectable).
+ Whenever the copied card is destroyed, get back the previous ability with 50% remaining available time.
Duplication: Duplicate a card basing on another card perfectly with its abilities. (11 cards remain)
Of course.
Dino: "Lady Luck!"
In the other words, now Dino has 3 Lady Luck cards and 3 alternative cards of Gifted Luck.
Gifted Luck is activated. (10 cards remain)
All is activated!!!
*Bap - Bap* - Even though it's being harder to parry Yujin, Dino still does everything well.
Wheel of Gambles: Summon a lucky wheel, select three wished rewards and put it on the game.
Rules of the game:
Dino: "No time for that!"
He sacrifices all the luck he has to the Wheel of Gambles - this is the new gambling combo.
There's no change about the name or the existence of new card, there's only the wheel with two slots - 50% for each side.
Hit: Secret reward.
Miss: Gain nothing.
The Hermit is activated. (9 cards remain)
Yujin instantly realizes what it is Dino seeks for, he rushes forward, releasing a fast strike with Ascension Force straight to Dino's head.
Dino: "Too late."
Dino: "Loki."
Loki the Trickster: "Alright, you won… Sike! It's me! LOKI!!!"
+ Change the rascality to reality (1 – 9 times)
"Walking through the path of destruction, I've observed the truth of death."
*Crack* - Yujin's left arm got destroyed by the unstoppable force.
"Strolling on the entire path of creation, I believe in fate and perfection."
He knows that he can't let Dino success, he might die beneath the power of The World.
"My heart contains emotions, my warm blood is my incarnation."
"Perfect, complete and true, I've walked down the road of isolation."
*Clash - Crack* - This time half of his body has been removed from the reality.
Yujin: "Tch, you're annoying."
"In the silence of the inevitable occurrence."
Yujin rushes forward, he kicks directly to Loki's face.
Loki: "Sike! You missed it, fool."
*Boom - Clash* - No matter how many times Yujin tries to eliminate Loki, all he gets back is the destruction of himself.
"For this crystal heart of imperfective fragments."
Loki even starts feeling hard to counter Yujin. He's being stronger unsually.
"Even if the cost is my devastation."
Loki realizes it. He swing his hand, trying to shift Dino out of that deadly angle.
Dino: "I sent you to the oblivion."
"Reality Rewind."
The World is immediately deleted again. No matter how much he tried, the
Loki doesn't know that Yujin can change the reality like him, how unfortunate it is, he has run out of his 9 chances.
Loki: "Dino!"
From the back, there's another Yujin, however no one can realizes it.
How strange it is, that Yujin seems like doesn't exist at all.
Loki: "Quasi-Existence?"
Yujin releases a strong strike, it even lies beyond the space and time.
*Crack - Bang* - He successfully landed it on Dino. That's seriously destructive, all the bones in his body are broken, half of his body is sent to the destruction, remains that place an incomplete body with a bloody zone.
Rain falls down from the sky, twilight is even curved into each raindrop, slightly dance upon the ground as the paean for the winner of this cruelty.
Yujin: (Seems like...)
Yujin: "I've won."
Loki observes silence, the atmosphere is going to be weird.
That smile blooms again.
Loki: "I don't think so."
Gifted Luck was falling down, into the isolation zone - where The Devil had been waiting.
"Luck!"
Even though the Wheel of Gambles can't be affected by any source of luck, however Dino didn't aim for that.
He knows that Loki can't trick Yujin by himself, and that's the reason. Luck has helped Loki at the last trick, he didn't run out of his ability yet, every detail was all the rascality that Loki had sent Yujin into.
"I sent you to the oblivion."
The World is activated directly to Yujin, the aura even locks him up in one place.
At that moment, Yujin has realized one thing - he stands no chance beneath that power. The World even brought him a feeling of death.
Those eyes reflects the determination, Dino revealed his trump card - The World - the unknown power instantly destroy Yujin to dust. No struggling, no opportunity, no chance to do anything, Yujin has been sent to destruction.
Alyne: "Yujin!"
"He is your destiny, follow him." - A fragment of memory reminds her about the previous prophecy.
She doesn't know where it came from, also its purpose. She only knows that she "must" find Yujin, for any cost, she "must" find him. No reason, inevitably that thought crept into her mind: She must find Yujin.
Alyne: "Straight to Hell!"
Something has awaken inside that little lady, her eyes shine up the deadly determination as the threat: "I will kill you."
Dino: "Adaman, I just all in on The World, solve the rest."
Then he falls back, starting the convulsion.
Adaman: "Alright, leave it to me."
*Thuk!* - Three ice stakes instantly stab through the ribcage of Adaman.
Adaman: "Ha...?"
*Thuk! Thuk! Thuk!* - This time Alyne instantly eliminates him within a second, looking down upon a mage is the reason for the death.
Ian: "Hey Dino, seems like we're cooked."
Dino: "Absolutely."
"Holy Light - Spear of Heaven." - Luker comes out of nowhere, despite he's died many times, for some reason he can still be here - ridiculous.
"Sky Breaker - Spear of Calamity." - He rushes forward with those two spears, however, he feels his discomfort - it's not enough yet.
Feeling it, Dino reveals another card, although the special ability of those cards can only be used on Dino. Yet, the summoning card still be able to summon the mentioned creature, and for those who use that creature for their purposes, it doesn't matter at all, card summons a creature, that's all its business.
Hobilion the Unicorn of Death: "Flying above the nine realm sky, its wings contain the thunder of destruction. Stepping over the gate of isolation, it's the embodiment of Thanatos."
Brain matching, Luker leaps over Alyne instead of landing a strike, he breaks the space, revealing another dimension.
*Boom* - That flow of thunder has devastated everything in the zone of 20 meters around Alyne.
How unfortunate it is, it can't even take her a sweat - her eyes contain the inevitable death which Luker hasn't experienced before.
However it doesn't matter, he sits on Hobilion, it's time for the last strike. He knows that he can't maintain the peak power like this for over a minute, a needs to end it as fast as possible.
He changes these spears to a unique lance, he's willing to all in right now.
Clara: "That's my spear."
Luker: "It's mine right now."
Of course Adaman is here too, for some reason as Luker, he can't die right now, no matter how much Alyne tries, it's just impossible to send them to destruction.
Alyne: "Tch."
Have you guys wonder how a mage face the 1v2 situation like this? Whatever, let's admire this masterpiece.
Starting with 12 ice stakes shooting straight to them, Alyne rapidly cast a spell via her thoughts to create an ice fragment for each step she goes.
She keeps walking on it, jumping through each fragment while casting various spell at once.
Luker: "Hey Hobilion, are you ready?"
No replies, of course, it's a horse, it can't speak human language obviously. However, via the spirit of warrior, it gets what he means.
Those four wings spread out, the lightning sparkles through out the sky, covering the firmament with the signal of death.
Road of Ascension - Luker and Hobilion weave a white patch, it creeps inside the space and sky as a reverse flow.
Luker: "Run! Run as this is the last time."
After the neigh, Hobilion starts running forward, following the road, it keeps chasing forward.
Luker: "Do you know the thing that they call: Golden Sync?"
That's the most challenging achievement for cavalries - Golden Sync - the highest sync status between a cavalry and a horse.
Run - Run - Run!
Luker: "Until we can't run anymore."
Those four eyes both reflect the same determination.
This is the miracle, for the first time fighting with each other, they are both entering that status.
Sync status - it isn't achievable with just one of them, it's the perfect harmony of two souls, two minds, two wills and two companions.
Luker starts to lower himself down onto Hobilion, gently and slowly in order to not interrupt their feelings.
Luker: (You feel it too, right?)
There's no bridle for controlling Hobilion, to be honest, no one can limit it even Dino. So does Luker, he can't either, however, he actually doesn't want to control Hobilion. They all have their own reasons, minds and wills, Sync doesn't mean control, it's the fusion status, the ultimate fusion.
"Hobilion, are you getting in trouble."
"Nah, I'm not."
"Why don't you find a worthy one?"
"..."
"Ha ha, some days, some days, you'll find that one."
"No one can deserve it."
"Let's see then."
A line has been formed, under a second, even though it's only available under the second, they both entered that status.
Golden Sync - *Crack* - There's nothing broken but the space, no one could see it.
In that scarce moment, their visions were fused together, they both observed the same thing.
"...some days, some days you will find that one."
Hobilion: (Shut up!)
"Luker, why are you still with me?"
"Huh? What's wrong with it? We're a team right?"
"Yes, but..., I mean... you deserve more than..."
"Shut up Laviery, we're a team. For the moment we chose each other, we're a team already. I don't allow any regret or vacillation."
For that moment, all remains in their vision was a road, the Road of Ascension. However it's flat as a paper, which mean their determination in Golden Sync is unique and clear.
All remains in their mind is the goal lies on the front, everything else was erased out of their volition.
Sound of glitched event appears, that's the move of universe to eliminate anomalies inside itself.
Yet, they both reached it, even though their mind weren't perfect to each other, they had taken down Alyne's left arm.
Alyne: (Impossible...)
She had used five shields to block that, nevertheless, every effort was nothing but a paper trying to face the sword - all was sent to nothingness.
Golden Sync - it allows them to negate all the protection.
Alyne: "This is cheating."
Luker (heavily breathing): "I guess so."
He gently touches Hobilion, this is the most direct and shortest way to tell his companion a thing - trust.
Hobilion only carves everything into its mind, it doesn't know what should be replied.
That touch has given it a strong determination, if they can't explain, then they'll find it by themselves, together.
That sound echoes again, the Road of Ascension has appeared one more time.
Holding tightly the Lance of Destruction, Luker starts to lower himself down onto Hobilion again.
Their minds are fusing to each other, those four legs start running on the line of determination.
Their eyes reflect that light again, nothing can be in their way anymore.
On the contrary, Alyne mercilessly freezes her wound without any hesitation. She swings the staff, instantly casting three enormous magical circles above her head.
This is her ultimate move.
"You better not interrupt, Xenosis."
