The battle went exactly as Damian had said. Even though Eternatus had three thousand years of experience and understood that its Dragon-type and Poison-type moves were useless against the Sword and Shield Kings, it was still in trouble.
It would not force itself to use those moves and give the two Kings an opening.
But...
Without being able to use the moves it was best at, Eternatus could only breathe fire. How could it possibly defeat the Sword and Shield Kings like that?
In its Eternamax form, Eternatus truly had the highest stamina of any Pokémon in the world.
Its stamina was much higher than even Zygarde Complete Forme. Unlike Zygarde, the defense of Eternamax Eternatus was also incredibly high.
But it was useless!
What was the point of just being able to take hits if it had no effective way to attack the Sword and Shield Kings?
It was true that even Crowned Sword Zacian's Behemoth Blade only caused it a little pain.
However, those two could still slowly wear it down until it died.
Eternatus could not change the situation. It could only wait as the Sword King and Shield King slowly killed it. This feeling of despair was very hard for Eternatus to accept.
Finally, instead of dying quietly, it exploded in rage.
Eternatus completely lost it!
"Roar—!"
The angry roar of Eternamax Eternatus echoed through the sky. Its massive claw rose high into the air, and a deep crimson color began to gather.
At that moment, everything seemed to go quiet. Only those six crimson lights continued to shine brightly.
Under the dark black vortex in the sky, those six red dots looked like six suns.
An incredible sense of pressure suddenly came down. It made Chairman Rose and the others feel a cold shiver run through their bodies.
They would die!!
Yes, if they were hit by this move, they would definitely die!
Nothing would be left of them.
There was no doubt. Eternatus was about to go all out!
"You evil pest!"
Crowned Sword Zacian's eyes were incredibly cold. The Fairy King's Sword in her mouth turned into a giant sword again, and she charged toward Eternatus.
Crowned Shield Zamazenta did the same. A red image of a giant shield formed in front of him. It was his signature move, Behemoth Bash!
"Don't you want to protect this land? Then look! See what you can protect!!"
Eternatus's low telepathy rang in the ears of the Sword and Shield Kings.
It knew. It knew everything!
These two were only fighting it to protect this land and the lives on it.
But Eternatus wanted them to know that as long as it wanted to, they could protect nothing!
Crowned Sword Zacian's eyes were as cold as ice. She sped up again, charging toward Eternatus's giant claw.
The crimson light of death, which looked like it could end the world, finally reached its peak. Eternatus's giant claw swung open wide.
Six massive, terrifying crimson beams of light shot down. Their target was Hammerlocke City below.
This was Eternatus's strongest signature move: Eternabeam!
Not counting special moves like Z-Moves, this was the strongest Dragon-type move. The power of Eternabeam was a full 160 points!
Normally, except for a few special moves, the highest power for a move is 150 points. That is the limit.
Eternabeam was one of the few moves that broke this limit.
For Eternatus, using Eternabeam was actually a big burden. It consumed a huge amount of its energy, and it would not even do much to the two kings.
But Eternatus didn't care anymore!
At this moment, the crimson light was like the light of the end. Six giant red beams fell from the sky, carrying an unstoppable and terrifying force toward the ground.
Crowned Sword Zacian gripped the Fairy King's Sword and jumped straight toward one of the Eternabeams.
She had to block this attack.
Just as Eternatus had said, the reason they fought so hard was to protect the land of Galar.
If these Eternabeams hit the ground, this human city would probably be destroyed.
Boom!
The Behemoth Blade struck the Eternabeam heavily. The Behemoth Blade exploded with power, and golden energy burst out violently.
A powerful wave of air spread out like a shockwave. The golden and red energies crashed against each other wildly.
Crowned Sword Zacian's Behemoth Blade was indeed powerful. She actually managed to hold back the force of the Eternabeam.
However, Zacian's heart sank. Even she could only stop one of the beams.
But there were six Eternabeams!
On the other side, Crowned Shield Zamazenta also charged toward another beam. He was not as strong as Zacian and could not stop the impact completely.
The Behemoth Bash was smashed apart by the Eternabeam. But luckily, the beam exploded against Zamazenta's body.
Even though Zamazenta was blown backward, his defense was very high and he resisted Dragon-type moves. The damage would not be too bad.
But even so, there were still four Eternabeams left.
"Tsk... Calyrex, Terapagos."
Damian clicked his tongue when he saw this scene. He called out to the two Pokémon in front of him.
"Shadow."
Shadow Rider Calyrex immediately understood what Damian meant. He slowly raised his right arm. The Spectrier he rode let out a low cry, and black ripples spread out from beneath its hooves.
It was the Ghost-type move, Astral Barrage!
Countless dark spirits rushed out, meeting one of the Eternabeams.
Meanwhile, Stellar Form Terapagos also fired a large number of shining crystals, Tera Starstorm, at another beam.
Boom, boom, boom!
The sounds of violent explosions did not stop. A terrifying storm roared wildly, covering all of Hammerlocke in wind and shockwaves.
Fortunately, Damian had released Shadow Mewtwo earlier to protect himself and the others.
However, the sight of different energies exploding and crashing like the end of the world still shocked Chairman Rose and the others.
It was too terrifying!
Even with their help, two Eternabeams finally hit the ground. The terrifying energy exploded with a huge impact.
The ground shook as if there were an earthquake. Even from Damian's direction, they could see the crimson mushroom clouds rising up.
"It looks like Chairman Rose will have to rebuild Hammerlocke. I doubt even the topsoil over there survived."
Damian was still in the mood to joke with Rose.
"It doesn't matter. This is already a very good result. If you weren't here, Damian, it would have been much worse."
Rose actually still felt a lingering fear. Of course, he wasn't afraid because the ground was destroyed, but because of the crazed Eternatus.
As for the destruction of Hammerlocke, it was completely expected. Even if Eternatus didn't destroy it, they would have had to tear down the half-broken buildings to rebuild later anyway.
Well, Rose was not short on money.
Fixing things? It was much easier to level everything and start over.
"The Chairman is right. We are lucky to have you here today, Damian." Leon looked at the terrifying crimson light, and cold sweat dripped from his forehead.
He could not have blocked an attack like that.
"You're too kind. I was paid for this, after all."
Damian smiled very happily. Clearly, he was very satisfied with the power of the Eternabeam from Eternamax Eternatus.
That kind of power was really impressive.
Damian was now very sure that after transforming into its Eternamax form, Eternatus's combat power was definitely among the strongest Legendary Pokémon.
"The battle is pretty much over. Now we just have to see how long it takes for Zacian and Zamazenta to defeat it."
Damian looked at the sky again. As expected, he saw Crowned Sword Zacian closing in on Eternatus again, hacking at it wildly with her sword.
Clearly, Eternatus's recent actions had made Zacian very angry.
"Eternatus's defense is quite amazing. How many times have Zacian and Zamazenta hit it by now?"
Raihan couldn't help but click his tongue in surprise.
"After the Eternamax transformation, stamina and defense are Eternatus's best features." Damian nodded.
However, Eternatus was just a punching bag in front of the Sword and Shield Kings because it only had high defense but no effective way to fight back.
Although attacks like Flamethrower had hit Zacian and Zamazenta a few times, those attacks were not enough to count as an effective counterattack.
About ten minutes later, Eternamax Eternatus finally reached its limit.
Under another Behemoth Blade from the Sword King, the massive body of Eternatus began to fall. It crashed heavily onto the ruins of Hammerlocke Stadium.
Seeing that Eternatus was finally defeated, Crowned Sword Zacian and Crowned Shield Zamazenta also descended from the sky. They landed not far from Eternatus.
After fighting for so long, Zacian and Zamazenta were not in the best shape. They were quite exhausted.
But while their bodies were tired, their minds were not.
The Fairy King's Sword in Crowned Sword Zacian's mouth glowed with a blue light. It gradually turned into a sharp giant sword.
At the same time, Zacian stepped toward Eternatus.
This thing, she had to completely kill it this time!
Eternatus also felt Crowned Sword Zacian's clear intent to kill. However, its current state was simply too poor.
Moreover, it had no way to resist. It just felt a bit sad.
Three thousand years ago, it was cut by this wolf. Three thousand years later, it was this sword wolf again.
But...
A black figure suddenly appeared like a ghost in front of Eternatus. This made Crowned Sword Zacian stop.
It was Shadow Rider Calyrex.
"Calyrex, what is the meaning of this?"
Crowned Sword Zacian's cold telepathy was the same as always.
"I should be the one asking. Zacian, what were you trying to do just now?" Shadow Rider Calyrex asked back calmly.
"I am going to finish it off for good, of course," Crowned Sword Zacian answered directly.
"Zacian, you have too much bloodlust."
A clear male voice came over. Crowned Sword Zacian let the energy on the Fairy King's Sword fade away. She turned her head to look at Damian, who was walking toward them.
"Human, what exactly do you want to do?"
Crowned Sword Zacian understood. Shadow Rider Calyrex was now Damian's partner. If Calyrex was stopping her from getting near Eternatus, it must be because Damian told him to.
"I want to catch Eternatus. I can't let you cut it down, Zacian."
Damian spoke to Zacian with a smile. Stellar Form Terapagos floated above Damian.
Even though Crowned Sword Zacian had her own principles and would not easily attack a human, it was better to be careful.
Crowned Shield Zamazenta immediately moved to Zacian's side. He silently stood beside his sister.
This scene also made Rose and the others afraid to come closer.
After all, the situation on the field had turned into a standoff between the Sword and Shield Kings against Shadow Rider Calyrex and Stellar Form Terapagos.
Eternatus looked at the scene in front of it with a blank expression. For a moment, its brain couldn't quite process what was happening.
Why did it feel like they were about to fight each other because of it?
"You want to catch this thing?"
Crowned Sword Zacian frowned in a very human way.
"Human, are you sure?"
