P.S= #10: The Strongest Slayer Is Here

The battlefield transformed as the trio, Ava, Cory, and Naima, disappeared in a blink, leaving behind a lingering aura of anticipation.

KA-BOOM!!!

The explosive impact reverberated through the chaotic battleground, leaving a momentary stillness in its wake.

"Did we get him?" Cory inquired, a glimmer of hope in his eyes.

"No, looks like he's fine," Naima replied, her focus unwavering.

"We tried everything, but yet still," Ava said, a note of frustration tainting her voice.

SFHHH! SFHHH! SFHHH!

A mysterious sound filled the air, drawing their attention.

"What the?" Cory exclaimed, his gaze fixed on the unfolding spectacle.

"He's getting bigger," Ava observed, her eyes widening with disbelief.

"He's absorbing so much haku," Naima explained, her voice carrying a sense of urgency.

"What the hell is going on?" Cory questioned, a mixture of confusion and concern etched on his face.

SFHH! SFHH!

"He's transforming, but into what?" Ava pondered, her eyes narrowing as she tried to comprehend the unfolding anomaly.

ROAAAAR!!!!!

A thunderous roar shook the battlefield as the Ayakashi declared, "Now I can crush you humans with my true power."

ROAAAAR!!!!!

"Should an Ayakashi grow like that? He's like 17 feet tall," Cory observed, his eyes narrowing in determination.

"No, they shouldn't, but A-class can, and he just forced his evolved state. It's called True Flow. This state gives an Ayakashi a power boost," Naima explained, her tone revealing a depth of knowledge about the Ayakashi's capabilities.

"Now die."

The colossal Ayakashi unleashed a series of punches, each strike threatening devastation.

BAM! BAM! BAM!

Cory, Ava, and Naima danced between the attacks, their movements synchronized with an almost choreographed precision. As the Ayakashi swung his hands, buildings crumbled under the force of the destructive onslaught.

KHKREEEN!!!

Activating his magic drive, the Ayakashi shot spikes at them, a deadly barrage aimed with lethal intent.

Cory, with a combination of agile dodges and deft swordplay, managed to block and evade the spikes.

"We need to stop him before he destroys the kingdom even more. Back me up till I'm ready," Cory strategized, a determined glint in his eyes.

"Right," affirmed Ava and Naima, readying themselves for the impending clash.

TOOWISH!! WISPNEEEEN!!

Cory entered his phoenix stance, the air around him crackling with the buildup of energy. Coating his swords in haku, the second sword underwent a captivating color change.

ZHKREEEN!!

The magic drive's power cascaded over the coated swords, creating an enchanting display of radiant energy.

TEP! TEP! TEP!

Naima, with graceful agility, dashed towards the Ayakashi. His massive hand swung in her direction, but she leaped onto it, executing a swift slice that left the Ayakashi momentarily stunned.

DRAGON SWORD STYLE: SLICE AND DICES.

"Are you done yet? I can't keep this up for long," Naima communicated, her voice a mix of urgency and exhaustion.

"No, not yet," Cory responded, his focus unwavering.

"AAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!"

TOOOOOWISSSSSH!!!!!!!!

A surge of power emanated from Cory, his Haku rising to unprecedented levels. Observing the spectacle, Naima couldn't help but notice, "What? His Haku is rising? No, not just that—his drive is getting stronger."

"So much haku," Ava added, recognizing the intensity of Cory's power.

"Huh? He's copying me," The Spike Ayakashi realized, a revelation that added another layer of complexity to the unfolding battle.

AAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!

TOOOOOOWISSSSSH!!!!

As the surge of power enveloped Cory, an extraordinary transformation took place. Part of his hair turned a light purple, and his right eye underwent a mesmerizing change—its usual color replaced by a vivid yellow, now adorned with two pupils.

"What the… his Haku is rising," Spike Ayakashi remarked, his expression a mix of surprise and wariness.

"Now."

FVOOOOOM!! THUMP!

In an instant, Cory dashed towards the colossal Ayakashi, propelling himself into the air with a swift leap.

SHADOW MAGIC DRIVE PHOENIX SWORD STYLE ULTIMATE SECRET TECHNIQUE: OCEAN WAVE!!!!!

The air crackled with anticipation as Cory's blades, coated in Haku, descended with incredible force.

SHLANG!!!

"Huh, no way. It didn't cut him," Spike Ayakashi declared, a hint of triumph in his voice.

"Did he miss? No, he hit him, but the attack wasn't powerful enough," Naima analyzed, her eyes narrowing as she assessed the situation.

"Now die." The Ayakashi unleashed a deadly technique, clapping his hands together.

SPIKE DRIVE: 360 SPIKE EXPLODING KILL!!!!

THUD!

Cory plummeted from the sky, his figure disappearing into the turmoil below.

"Cory!" Ava's voice echoed with concern.

WHOOSH!! KA-DOOM BOOM!!! BOOM!!!

The battlefield erupted in chaos, the aftermath of the devastating attack leaving a shroud of smoke and uncertainty.

"Nooo, Cory! Naima!" Ava's anguish resonated through the air.

FWISH!!

The smoke lifted, revealing a mysterious figure standing in front of Naima, holding Cory with his right hand.

"Surprise! Come on, kids, you should be more careful now."

"Huh?" Naima's eyes widened in astonishment.

FWISH!!

In a blink, another presence appeared on a nearby building.

"You sure do know how to make an entrance, boss."

"I sure do."

Spike Ayakashi, still reeling from the previous events, voiced his confusion, "Who the hell are you?"

"Huh, me? You don't know, huh?"

"Hmm."

"I'm Nathaniel Natsu, The Strongest Slayer in the world." The declaration resonated with an air of undeniable authority, setting the stage for an unexpected turn in the battle.
