The white glacier melted, turning into a boiling sea.
"Rise!"
A heavy roar thundered from within the flames and the melting ice.
Then, from the vortex, a new figure was born—a colossal demon with a body of fire and ice, the aura of Amatsu-Mikaboshi shattering the air around it.
"Damn... this is really annoying," Lance muttered, cold sweat trickling down his temples. He moved his fingers quickly, reciting once more.
"In the name of the eternal Vishanti—Crimson Bands of Cyttorak, bind them!" Lance shouted, his voice slicing through the air.
The binding magic, an enhancement of the legendary artifact Crimson Bands, summoned massive power from the red dimension. Red-glowing magical chains appeared from the empty air, like rampaging dragon serpents, enveloping the sky and the earth. They coiled, twisted, and crushed dozens of ice and fire demons, halting their movements with absolute force.
Without pause, Lance spread his arms, calling forth the Twin Sword of the Golden Dagger, and shouted: "Galaxian Explosion!"
The sky instantly changed. Thousands of energy spheres resembling small planets formed in a circular formation, then shot off at incredible speed. They collided in the midst of the monster horde and exploded simultaneously—the shockwave bending the air and shaking the battlefield. A tremendous roar echoed like a galactic collision.
BOOM!
The ice and fire monsters were torn apart, disintegrating into shards of energy and demon flesh. Cracked ice and sparks flew, floating like sawdust in a swirling twilight light.
However, from behind the fog of destruction, the figure of Amatsu-Mikaboshi was only pushed back a few steps. On the muscular body of Amatsu-Mikaboshi, only a few minor scratches were visible, almost insignificant.
Then, the giant's body transformed. Like embers exploding outward, Amatsu-Mikaboshi released a thick black mist—hot, wild, and suffocating. In an instant, the robust form of Amatsu-Mikaboshi restored itself. The small wounds vanished as if they had never existed. What remained was a more solid deadly aura than before.
"Damn it..." Lance muttered through gritted teeth. He leaped forward without hesitation, like an arrow released from its bow.
"Little sorcerer... you hurt me," Amatsu-Mikaboshi murmured, the voice of the demon god deep and thunderous. Amatsu-Mikaboshi raised a gigantic sword nearly as tall as an old tree, then swung it down towards Lance's head with the intent to cleave the two bodies in half.
But Lance, like lightning, slipped agilely like a snake through the gap of the attack. The swing missed, but not without consequence.
CRASH!!
The giant sword struck the surface of the sea. Water exploded into the air, and sharp shards of water rained down on Lance like shards of glass. The blades of water obstructed his movement, striking his God of War Cloth.
Though it did not penetrate, the pressure from the wave was enough to halt Lance's advance. But Lance was already in an attacking position.
With a shout that split the storm, Lance swung the God Killer Sword. Its blade ignited in blue flames—Flames of the Faltine—and struck true into the belly of Amatsu-Mikaboshi.
The giant growled. The sound of Amatsu-Mikaboshi's growl was like the earth trembling. But it did not retreat—instead, it counterattacked. Lance managed to raise his Golden Dagger to parry...
Explosion!!!
The force of the swing was far beyond the previous attack. Lance was sent flying, like a baseball hit by a giant bat. He soared hundreds of meters, leaving a long white trail on the surface of the sea before crashing down with a crackling sound.
Lance crawled out of the water, blood dripping from the corner of his mouth. He wiped quickly, his eyes narrowing sharply.
"If it weren't for the God of War Cloth... I would have been split in two," Lance thought to himself.
"Little sorcerer, you must die!" roared Amatsu-Mikaboshi, its aura boiling.
"If you continue to live... it will attract the attention of Kamar-Taj..." Amatsu-Mikaboshi continued as it stepped forward.
The steps of the demon god appeared slow and heavy, yet each step left ripples in time—Amatsu-Mikaboshi was faster than he seemed.
Lance gritted his teeth and shouted with all his might: "RAIGŌ!!"
Previously, when attempting Unlimited Blade Works, Lance hadn't had the chance to summon Raigō or Brynhildr. Now, he needed both—especially Raigō.
Brynhildr was too weak to withstand the sword strikes of Amatsu-Mikaboshi, which were as powerful as volcanic eruptions. But Raigō—with his divine strength that could bless a warrior—was a true ally.
"SSSSTTT!!!"
Suddenly, the sky seemed to tear apart with a thunderous sound. Raigō emerged from a rift in space, his body like thunder taking the form of a blue warhorse, glowing with heavenly lightning. In an instant, Raigō had dashed past Lance.
Lance didn't waste the opportunity. With trained precision, he jumped and landed on Raigō's back. The divine horse turned, galloping over the sea, which had now become a battlefield, forming a large circle before charging at the enemy again.
Each pounding hoof of Raigō shook the air, releasing a high-pitched sound wave that enveloped Lance like a magical cloak.
Lance's aura doubled—his strength, speed, and magic surged uncontrollably.
"Amatsu-Mikaboshi! I'm coming again!!"
The Golden Dagger grew larger, now the size of a door shield, radiating an aura like a thunderstorm. On Raigō's back, racing at several times the speed of sound, the attack carried the power to tear mountains apart and split the sky.
"With the ancient body of Hoggoth, in the name of the great Oshtur, and under the gaze of Agamotto who sees all—"
"I command! Vishanti's Destruction Magic!"
The blood-red light of the sword shone brightly, igniting like a red sun spewing forth an aurora of destruction. The overwhelming magical power rolled through the air like a magma storm tearing through dimensions.
With a roar that shook space, Lance charged—hundreds of meters vanished in an instant, compressed into a single step through time.
BOOM!!!
The Golden Dagger and Amatsu-Mikaboshi's sword collided in an explosion of magic and metal. Magical sparks flew like millions of stars bursting in the dark sky. The explosion of golden light was so dazzling that it chased away the gloom of the sky, creating a moment of daylight in the void.
