"If you wish for battle, then you'll get it!" the man roared brutishly.
In the next instant:
ROOOAAAAARRRRRR!
Powerful, shockwave-inducing roars erupted from their throats as a crimson light burst violently from their bodies, piercing into the skies.
VROOOOOOOOOOOM!
The air behind them rippled violently as they charged forward with weapons drawn, hurtling toward Ryuk, whose face remained still and placid.
'Battle?'
"Activate Sove..." He began to call out when suddenly,
RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIP!
A blur of motion sliced through the air, from the edge of his vision,
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
A devastating kick smashed into the face of one of the charging Apocrypha-stage Barbarians, altering his trajectory and sending him crashing into the chest of the standing mountain beasts.
The remaining five halted mid-charge, eyes wide with shock.
It wasn't Ryuk who had acted; it was the one who claimed to be one of them: Antares.
