Chapter 21: Upgrade

The Star discharged electricity at Alata, he used the spear to absorb the current and create an electric ball. Alata threw the electric ball at Elastor. He was hit and fell back, Elastor said:

"You counter my attack?"

Alata replied:

"Yes, after recovering I learned about your power and to my surprise, it was just strangely ordinary electricity."

Elastor thought to himself:

"I only have Elemental Spirits, I'm still not very familiar with the power of The Star. I don't even have a weapon right now so I haven't tried it yet."

Alata lunged forward and stabbed the spear repeatedly and Elastor, he backed down and dodged repeatedly. The Ghost rushed to take over Elastor's body but was scratched by The Star. But The Star's scratch scratched through The Ghost's smoky body. The Ghost grabbed The Star's shoulder and smashed it against the wall. Elastor and The Star were wounded at the same time. The Star released electricity to shock The Ghost, but it did nothing. The Ghost then threw The Star behind and flew into Elastor's mouth. Alata swung his spear and hit Elastor in the stomach, knocking him down. The Ghost slowly entered Elastor's body and suddenly it was pulled back. That's because The Star was pulling Alata's right leg to save Elastor. Elastor immediately stood up and rushed to kick Alata in the face. He launched his spear but missed and ripped Elastor's shirt. Elastor took Alata's spear and fought him. Meanwhile The Star was still trying to deal damage to The Ghost, it scratched and released electricity but did nothing to the enemy but was hit by The Ghost. With Zed, he easily defeated Samot with a single slash across the enemy's chest. Zed said:

"I told you, you meet the wrong opponent."

Zed withdrew The Knight and then went through Samot's corpse to go to the wall to help Zenhector. It wasn't long before Zed heard Samot's laughter, he turned and looked at him as he stood up. Zed said:

"Alive? I'm surprised."

Suddenly Samot's body grew and the rhinoceros beetle's skin became firmer and larger. Samot said:

"Don't you know? Rhino beetles can change their outer shell to become bigger and stronger. You've only destroyed one layer while I have hundreds more."

Samot turned around and rammed Zed, who said:

"Really?"

Zed summoned the Dante sword and slashed and defeated Samot once more. Samot grew even bigger, he said angrily:

"Hey, I'm not joking, you just slashed to defeat me?"

Zed replied:

"That's right, otherwise defeat you with what?"

Samot said angrily:

"Are you listen to me or you're underestimated me?!"

Samot threw a powerful punch at Zed, he swung his sword to defeat him again. Zed said dejectedly:

"Let's see how big you can be."

Zed fought Samot, he threw a lot of punches and rammed Zed but he dodged all of them. Zed kept slashing and slashing making Samot repeatedly defeated and growing bigger and angrier. Zed fought without caring that Samot became even bigger. Back to Eva, she was still running away from Sherma and her slashes. Sherma said:

"Just run, you can't hide from me."

Eva replied:

"So what do you think I'm doing?"

The Riser inside Eva said:

"Master, you need help?"

Eva replied:

"The Riser, is it really you?"

The Riser said:

"Yes it is I, your Elemental Spirit."

Eva replied:

"Okay, so what can you do to help me?"

The Riser said:

"Master, you draw a circle on your hand, I will use the power of light to repel the enemy."

Eva replied:

"Okay."

Eva drew a circle on her hand, it glowed. Eva turned around and held the circle of light at Sherma, which lit up to dazzle her. Eva immediately ran as fast as she could into a nearby laundry room to hide. Sherma stopped being dazzled, didn't see where Eva was, so she said angrily:

"Where is she?"

Sherma saw that the laundry room was not closed properly, she smiled evilly and went inside. Sherma said as he walked:

"Where are you little princess, are you here?"

Sherma slashed at a shopping cart but Eva was not there, now hiding in the back of the laundry room in a pile of dirty and smelly clothes. Eva watched Sherma through a small hole in the pile of clothes, she thought to herself:

"How am I supposed to fight her? I still don't have a weapon."

Sherma continued slashing around and looking for Eva in the room. Back to Julia, she was constantly crawling under the table. Renoa flew down and stabbed the bee stinger across the table to find Julia. Julia crawled quickly with Renoa's stinger following behind. When there was only a small portion of the table left, Renoa slashed the table in half to reveal Julia still trying to crawl away. Renoa said:

"You don't have a chance anymore."

Renoa stabbed Julia with the stinger, who immediately dodged and grabbed a nearby chair and smashed the chair into the enemy's face. Renoa was stunned, she flapped her wings and hit Julia causing her to fall back. Julia immediately grabbed the surrounding chairs and threw them repeatedly at Renoa. Renoa slashed the rushing chairs with her stinger, she said:

"Why do you keep throwing chairs at me?"

Julia replied:

"Then what must I do to defeat you?"

Renoa slashed a chair in half and charged at Julia. Julia ran as fast as she could from the stinger that was approaching her. Julia slid down causing Renoa to accidentally hit the bee's stinger against the wall and get stuck. Julia jokingly said:

"Sorry, I'll run first."

Renoa replied angrily:

"Stop it."

Julia ran out of the dining room looking for Elastor and Renoa pulled the stinger out of the wall and looked for her. With Lamalia and Oma, the two were fighting fiercely with each other. Oma repeatedly kicked Lamalia with his locust's legs. Lamalia repeatedly parried with her claws and rushed to grab Oma's right leg and hit him hard against the wall. Lamalia said:

"Second place? You can't beat me yet."

Oma angrily replied:

"Damn it, you dare insult me."

Oma swung his leg to kick Lamalia. She immediately blocked his kick and said:

"Can't do anything? Quick end. The Rhino! Enter weapon."

The Rhino combined with Strike Claws to create the Unbreakable Horns(It was a gauntlet with two horns of The Rhino and was very heavy and powerful). Oma flipped the blades below his legs and ran to attack Lamalia. He jumped up and slashed the blades of his left leg at her. Lamalia then blocked the blades with rhinoceros horns and punched the blades on his left leg. Oma kicked hard into the air creating a wind force on Lamalai. She crossed her gauntlet to block the blow, and he rushed to attack her. Oma kicked his right leg and was bitten by the rhinoceros mouth. Lamalia repeatedly banged Oma on the wall and on the floor. Oma spat out blood and was defeated. Lamalia withdrew The Rhino and said:

"I have to find everyone, we're all lost."

Lamalia left leaving Oma who fainted. While running, Lamalia encountered Avator carrying the weapon of the Crusadia Team. Lamalia approached him and said:

"King Avator, you bring them weapons?"

Avator replied:

"That's right, I repaired and upgraded them all."

Lamalia said

"Give them to me, I'll give them weapons."

Avator gave those weapons to Lamalia and she ran off to find everyone. Avator said aloud:

"Everyone can use elemental on weapons now."

Lamalia ran while saying loudly:

"Everyone, the weapons have been upgraded! Everyone please summon them!"

Elastor, Julia and Eva heard Lamalia's voice, they thought to themselves:

"It's about time."

All weapons in Lamalia's hand disappeared and returned to their owners. When Julia reached Elastor, she summoned her new upgraded weapon Mega Gauntlet. Julia's new weapon was upgraded with an iron triangle pieces on the fingers and spikes on the arm, the punching power of the glove could be unleashed even more with air holes to help release air for stronger punches. At that time, Elastor was still struggling with fighting Alata. Julia rushed to punch Alata, he was attacked in surprise so he immediately backed down to dodge the attack. Alata said:

"Damn it, another one got in my way."

At the same time that Renoa also came to their place, Julia leaned her back on Elastor and said:

"Ready?"

Elastor replied:

"Let's fight them, I'm so excited."

Elastor summoned the Volt Greatsword. It was upgraded with a new fuller in the main sword body, that fuller part was made of gold, copper and silver fused together to create a mineral that could conduct electricity faster and more, the edge gained an extra obsidian layer to make the greatsword more durable and heavier. Alata said:

"New weapon? Interesting."

Elastor replied:

"Only upgrade to get stronger."

Elastor put his greatsword on his shoulder and said:

"A little heavier than I remember, but that's more interesting."

Elastor and Julia separated and rushed to fight the enemy. Alata stabbed Elastor with his spear but he swung his sword and smashed the spear into the wall. Alata couldn't pull back the spear because the greatsword was too heavy. The Ghost rushed to attack Elastor so he swung his sword at him. The swing was so strong that it created a gust of wind that repelled The Ghost. Elastor said:

"It's perfect, it's gotten stronger."

Alata replied angrily:

"Damn it!"

Alata stabbed Elastor repeatedly with his spear, he also swung his greatsword to parry the stab. Elastor's slashes hit the tip of Alata's spear causing his hand to shake from the shock and the surrounding wall covered with deep slashes. Alata said:

"That greatsword is so heavy, how can you swing with such tremendous power?"

Elastor replied:

"After fighting the strongest king Sandx, I realized I was too weak to fight stronger enemies and let Zed carry too much. So I trained to be able to fight strong and to be able to fight alongside Zed."

Alata said angrily:

"The Ghost, unite with me."

The Ghost combined with Alata to give him a ghost cloak that helps him to become invisible, to penetrate walls and not to be slashed through. Alata flew to Elastor to attack him. Elastor said:

"The Star, combined with my greatsword."

The Star replied:

"Hahaha! Time to electrify!"

The Star merged with the Volt greatsword and created the Stardust greatsword(A long bolt of lightning appeared on the blade, The Star's claws along the blade creating a wildness of the weapon). The greatsword released a huge aura that shocked Elastor's left hand, but he endured it and charged at Alata. Elastor swung his sword and fired lightning bolts at Alata. Lightning shot through his phantom body, Alata said:

"You can't do anything to me in this form."

Elastor replied:

"Really?"

The greatsword created small electric balls on the blade, Elastor smashed those balls against the wall creating electrostatic air that shocked Alata's ghost body. Alata said in surprise:

"What the hell? You and everyone around will be electrocuted too."

Elastor replied:

"This great sword has already made me resistant to electric shock. And I have calculated the area of ​​the electric shock and you are the only one who gets shocked."

Alata said:

"Damn it! I hate you!"

Elastor lunged forward swinging his sword and slashing across Alata's chest. Alata and The Ghost fainted and were defeated. Elastor withdrew The Star and said:

"Done."

Alata replied weakly:

"Damn it, I came here to destroy you but I couldn't. How useless I am, my father and brothers and sisters will be so disappointed in me."

Elastor said:

"Then I apologize to you, they're not your family. You're just Reaper's killing tool, leave them go."

Alata replied:

"Then I'd rather die than leave my family."

Elastor grabbed Alata's left leg and dragged him along, Elastor said:

"Then you must live to see them."

Elastor brought Alata to heal. The battle between Julia and Reone was still continuing. Renoe rushed to stab Julia with a stinger, she punched to parry the attack. Reone was surprised, she said:

"What? What are those gauntlet?"

Julia replied:

"It's my new weapon, the Mega Gauntlet. It's no longer a glove but a gauntlet."

Reno said:

"No matter what weapon you have, you won't be able to attack me from above."

Julia replied:

"Ah, that's correct. I forget about it."

Renoe turned the stinger into a drill and charged at Julia. Julia lunged forward and punched the drill holding it back. Renoe flapped her wings to push Julia. Julia slowly stepped back, she said:

"Give me something new."

The four air holes on the gauntlet open to release air from the force of the drill in the gauntlet. Julia sprang up and punched a powerful punch that wasn't stopped by the air, knocking back the drill bit. Renoe said:

"What the hell?"

Julia replied:

"How do I know?"

Julia punched another punch, which fired a punch that flew through the air and hit Renoe. Julia said excitedly:

"Awsome! I can shoot far."

Renoe replied:

"Damn it."

Julia punched repeatedly in the air and fired powerful punches that hit Renoe and injured her. Renoe got angry and flew as fast as he could to drill Julia. Julia then released a lot of air as the left gauntlet, she delivered a powerful punch to Renoe's drill that broke her drill. Then Julia punched Renoe repeatedly, her wings and whole body injured and bruised. Julia knocked Renoe down and won. The air holes closed in the gauntlet, Julia looked at the new weapon and said cheerfully:

"Yeah, they're good. I have to thank King Avator, he gave me the perfect weapon."

Julia turned around and met Elastor, he said:

"Elastor, are you okay?"

Elastor replied:

"I'm fine, it's okay."

Julia said:

"Look, my new weapon."

Elastor replied:

"Yes, very good."

Julia said:

"Is that so? It was I who defeated that enemy."

Elastor replied:

"Yeah, yeah. Now let's find everyone."

Julia nodded and followed Elastor. Returning to Eva, she summons the Peace bow. It now had a guard on the grip with a triangle piece that protects the hand and for better aiming, the gold parts on the bow had been trimmed to make the bow lighter, the bowstring had been replaced with a Sandx's most flexible and durable new bowstring. Eva said:

"Fight with me, The Riser."

Eva jumped out of the pile of clothes and knelt down. She drew her bow and created an arrow of light aimed at Sherma. Sherma rushed over and said:

"Here you are."

The arrow of light gradually lit up, Eva said:

"Fire."

Eva fired an arrow that hit Sherma's left hand and burned it. Sherma still didn't stop and continued to charge. Eva stood up and continued to shoot arrows of light at Sherma. She received arrows and suffered severe burns, she said:

"What the hell, it's so hot!"

Eva replied:

"There's this one more."

The Riser was summoned and provided the Peace bow with a lot of light. Eva drew her bowstring then released it and fired a big beam of light that hit Sherma. Sherma was badly burned by Eva's light and fainted. Eva put away her weapon and ran to Sherma, she said:

"Are you okay? I'm a bit over the top."

Eva quickly took a wet towel and put it on Sherma, she said:

"You just lie here and sleep. The soldiers will arrest you. I'll go find everyone first."

Eva left the laundry room. Back to Zed, he was being crushed by a giant Samot under his feet. Zed's mouth was covered with a lot of blood, he said:

"Damn it, have you reached your giant limit yet?"

Samot replied:

"Not yet, I'll be even bigger."

Zed smiled evilly and said:

"Perfect."

Zed sliced ​​off Samot's toes, he released the darkness from his feet and flew up. Samot threw a giant punch at Zed and smashed him deep into the wall. Samot pulled his fist down and saw Zed bleeding profusely. He was badly injured and fell from above to the ground and lay down. Samot laughed and said:

"You lost because of your arrogance, now die."

Lamalia ran to the Loyalty sword and said:

"The Rhino, the Pillar!"

The Rhino was summoned and kicked the ground hard. A stone pillar rose from the ground and blocked Samot's feet. Lamalia threw the Loyalty sword at Zed and said loudly:

"Zed, take it."

The Loyalty sword flew towards Zed, he raised his hand and caught it. The darkness within Zed was immediately released and enveloped him. Zed stood up and said:

"Hmm, Loyalty sword?"

Zed looked at Lamalia, she said:

"Use it to defeat your enemies. Edengaz has given you permission to use it."

Zed nodded, he looked at Samot and raised his Loyalty sword and Dante sword and said:

"The Knights!"

The Knight was summoned and fused with the Loyalty sword to form the Devil Wolf sword. The darkness behind Zed turned into a black cloak, Zed said:

"Edengaz, thank you for lending me this power."
