[Outskirts of the Kingdom, Near the border]
The moment Asmodeus scythe broke into two, a gush of power erupted towards the surroundings causing everyone to temporarily halt their battle against each other. Even the people attacking Asmodeus couldn't even take one step forward the moment such a thing happened.
Due to the high density of energy that the scythe had accumulated, such an energy then served as a pressuring atmosphere preventing everyone to even move a step forward. Not only that since the energy seemed to be quite harmful to their sight, everyone couldn't help but squint their eyes tight in order to protect their sight.
When such a pressure was already alarming when they were still far, they couldn't even imagine just how much alarming it is if they were close.
Soon after when the pressure died down, their curiousness were then answered as they saw Asmodeus completely disheveled due to the pressure that his broken scythe had released. Thanks to his armor he had conjured out of the power of the Aquasphere he had comprehended, his body was completely protected from the backlash of having his weapon destroyed and instead redirected all of the damage towards his surroundings. To be exact he was currently standing in the middle of a crater that had formed from the pressure.
However despite having his weapon destroyed by people he deemed unnecessary, he neither showed anger nor surprise from this result, in fact he somehow showed a reaction similar to an expression made when everything was within their calculations.
When the broken weapon finally disintegrated, Asmodeus then breath a sigh of relief as he turns his direction towards Akito, Leon, and Mordred.
"You lot might be quite happy that you have finally disarmed me, indeed this is an achievement worth celebrating... However don't think that you'll have an easy time subduing me just because you've got rid of my weapon"
Hearing his overconfident tone, everyone who fought against Asmodeus couldn't help but feel mocked by the tone that he was releasing. After all no matter what anyone says, it is a fact that a lot of people have to gang up against him just to simply break his weapon. That's just how much dangerous his scythe is
They believe that as long as his weapon was destroyed the level of difficulty of the fight would drastically go down. However contrary to their expectation, Asmodeus doesn't exude an atmosphere that he was backed into a corner.
Thankfully the enemy's side wasn't the only one who have an overbearing atmosphere. For this kind of tense situation, the only thing that could stand up against over confident people are another over confident person itself.
Stepping up as if to mock his previous statement, Mordred then spoke up.
"What are you blabbering about dipshit! Of course it will be easy to subdue you, after all your weapon is the only thing that is dangerous here... you on the other hand doesn't amount to much"
Surprised by that sudden retort, Asmodeus then replied.
"Pft! Bwahahahahaha!!!! Looks like you guys also have a loudmouth, and here i thought i would be talking to a wall... You guys are too tense just because i look confident don't i?"
With that Mordred answered.
"Not so much! For me your just stalling for time just to escape"
"Escape? to whom? you guys? don't make me laugh!"
"Why would i even try to make you laugh? do you have a screw loose on your head? I'm actually trying to kill you here you know!"
"... I see you don't screw around"
"... Don't see holes to screw here... Don't see why that matters"
"Hah! your quite good on your words"
"Of course I'm very proud of it!"
"But can you still say that once i rip that mouth off of yours?"
"Sorry bob! my mouth stays where they are... on the other hand it looks like your mouth need a bit of loosening"
After their back and forth condescending tone, both of them glared at each other, before Mordred quickly jumping in and goes for the kill. No matter what she couldn't help but be tempted to rip him to shreds.
Swinging down her sword towards him, Asmodeus then quickly stepped to the side as he planted a detonation magic on the ground beneath him, causing a huge explosion, the moment Mordred landed beside him.
After that Asmodeus quickly took a distance as he raised up his palm and started blasting her with magic
"Mana Spear!!! Darkum Bomb!!! Darken Wind!!!"
In response to those attacks Mordred quickly dodged the first magic shot, as she countered back by a red sword wave slash to counter the second magic shot, before jumping up in order to evade the third magic shot released by Asmodeus.
While in Midair Mordred threw her weapon towards Asmodeus, forcing him to dodge the attack to the right, as she quickly condense a platform made out of man on the sole of her feet and launch her towards Asmodeus. While rocketing down at immense speed, she quickly rolled in the air as she drop and axe kick aiming for his head.
In response to such sudden shift of movement like an acrobatic troupe, Asmodeus condensed his mana on his arm to form an armguard as he blocked the axe kick and pushed her off by a few feet. But the moment she landed, Mordred suddenly did a zig zagged charge towards him , as she picked up her sword and swung it towards Asmodeus with only one arm.
Pulling back his head, Asmodeus dodged the incoming slash from Mordred, but was eventually got caught once Mordred spun around and delivered a reverse kick straight to his side. Once she realized that her swing was about to miss her target, she literally didn't hesitate to spin around and kicked Asmodeus to his undefended area. Such battle intact was truly something else, as Mordred showcased her unorthodox fighting style. A style that was completely unpredictable.
Clutching his side, Asmodeus simply clicked his tongue as he somehow begun gathering dangerous mana on his right hand. Due to how dangerous the mana that Asmodeus was exuding, Leon quickly shouted an alarm towards Mordred as he felt an immense threat from that said mana
"Somethings not right! Mordred! Quickly finish him!"
As if her body moved accordingly once Leon warned her, Mordred charged straight towards Asmodeus as he drew back her sword and begun to prepare for a decisive slash. However once she got close, all of her instincts suddenly warned her of some unseen danger, causing her to suddenly tilt her head to the side.
Just like expected once she tilted her head, a bright flash of light suddenly passed by her head as if it was a spear of laser made out of light. Due to how fast everything happened, Mordred could only tilt her head to dodged the unforeseen attack causing the tip of her ear to be blasted off of her.
Quickly backing away as she clutched her bleeding ear, Mordred then glared towards Asmodeus who somehow took out another weapon from somewhere she didn't know.
To be exact the weapon that Asmodeus took is a three pronged spear called a trident. With the spear exuding the same mana and pressure from the armor that Asmodeus is wearing, such a spear in the form of a trident completely matches the very aesthetics of the Aquasphere. To be specific, the spear itself was the very weapon of the Aquasphere.
Once Asmodeus took out such weapon, his face then grew serious, signaling everyone that the incoming battle will be the last clash they will have when fighting against Asmodeus. without any word, everyone begun to prepare themselves for the incoming battle.
