The night was like water!
Ayato and his group flapped their Devil Wings, speeding through the air.
They did not hide their presence.
Soon.
A very gloomy and terrifying aura began to ripple across the surroundings.
"Ga ga ga!"
With a piercing shriek, a tangible hurricane arose in all directions.
Countless trees were uprooted.
The surrounding mountains shook.
A terrifying aura enveloped them, and a strange, round sphere came into view.
"So this is Kuubou."
Feeling the oppressive force washing over her, Miko murmured, "What a terrifying monster."
Her eyes flashed, as if she could see countless souls wailing inside the monster.
On the other side, Seiko and the others' bodies also trembled slightly.
After all...
The strongest among them was Ena, who had just barely reached the threshold of High-Class Devil.
Facing Kuubou, this was an instinctive reaction.
But besides that...
There was no fear.
Because they knew...
With Ayato here...
Even if Kuubou were ten times stronger, it couldn't hurt them.
Hum!
At the same time.
A golden light blossomed from Yayoi's body.
A vast, immense aura instantly dispersed the extreme oppression in the air.
Opposite them!
Kuubou's body trembled.
Its somewhat chaotic consciousness instinctively sensed the threat.
A god?
It was the power of a god.
"Ga ga ga ga!"
It let out an unbearably piercing shriek.
But!
Its body gradually floated backward.
Not yet fully grown...
It absolutely did not want to face any god.
Shizuka said, "This Cursed Spirit is pretty smart. Looks like it's trying to run."
"Can it?"
Ayato smiled and said calmly, "Wind, seal this place."
The moment his voice fell.
A great wind roared across the surroundings.
The invisible breeze seemed to turn tangible, directly enveloping an area of thousands of meters.
"Yayoi-chan, can you handle it alone?"
"With Master's Blessing, no problem."
Yayoi opened the Refining Spirit Pot, and several powerful auras instantly shot into the sky.
Knowing she would be facing Kuubou...
This time, she had deliberately brought out all her Graduates.
Before!
This had been a very dangerous move.
But now!
With the control of the Refining Spirit Pot...
She no longer had to worry about any rebellious Graduates backfiring.
The next moment, the battle erupted.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Several Graduates clashed violently with Kuubou.
The intense explosions merged into one, roaring like thunder.
Working together, the Graduates rained various strange abilities down on Kuubou.
Kuubou continuously let out unbearably piercing wails, its body repeatedly damaged.
In terms of pure strength...
Kuubou's power surpassed that of the several Graduates combined.
But with Yayoi assisting using the power of her Blessing, it was no match at all.
Even!
If not for concern about her parents' souls...
Yayoi could have directly used the power of her Blessing to destroy the enemy.
"Roar!"
Cornered, Kuubou let out a harrowing roar.
The aura emanating from its body began to change rapidly.
"Not good."
Yuri's pupils contracted. "It's trying to draw power from the souls inside it."
"If this continues, those souls will disappear completely. That would be terrible."
"Don't worry."
Ayato smiled slightly. "With me here, how can it possibly succeed?"
The moment his voice fell.
He slightly raised one hand.
Hum!
A vast, dark red magic circle appeared beneath Kuubou.
Countless beams of light, like invisible restraints, pierced into Kuubou's body.
"Ga ga ga!"
A look of fear appeared on Kuubou's face.
Because in an instant, it had lost control over the souls inside its body.
"As expected of Master, able to use such barrier magic with a wave of his hand. I wonder when Seiko will be able to do this."
"Your Balance Breaker has a special boost for barriers. I'm sure it won't be too far off."
Ayato smiled slightly.
He had never stopped learning magic.
Of course!
As far as combat power went, Origin Magic and God Slayer power were already enough.
So what he usually studied were support types of magic, to deal with unexpected situations.
Yayoi, seeing that Kuubou couldn't touch the souls, breathed a huge sigh of relief.
Then!
Under her command...
The Graduates were like wolves.
Each attack took away a part of Kuubou's body.
"AAAAHHHH!"
Kuubou wailed miserably, its originally massive body now broken and fragmented.
It madly rammed against the wind barrier, but couldn't budge it at all.
It could only watch helplessly as its body broke apart, growing weaker and weaker.
