Chapter 16: Final Crusadia Strike!

Zed and Edengaz were back to help the Crusadia team in this final battle, Zed said:

"Hey guys, arghhh!!!"

Everyone shouted:

"Zed!"

And they hugged Zed and pinned him to the ground, he said:

"Ugh, calm down, I just got back."

Edengaz slapped his head and replied:

"What a remarkable comeback."

Then they stood up, and Eva said:

"Zed, how can you and Edengaz come back? You two are already dead."

Zed replied:

"It was because the Book of Fates was destroyed, that caused chaos in the afterlife and Exos helped us return to the world of the living. And here we are."

Lamalia immediately hugged Zed, she said with emotion:

"I'm so happy that I don't have to wait to see you again."

Zed hugged Lamalia and replied:

"Yeah, me too."

Then they shared a kiss to everyone's embarrassment. But Lamalia and Edengaz faced each other when they met again, it was a battle of thoughts that only siblings could understand, it translated to, Edengaz said:

"Oh really little sister? Your brother is back and you only care about your love."

Lamalia replied:

"Shut up, big bro. Don't ruin this moment."

Edengaz said:

"I will!"

Edengaz slapped Zed on the back of the head and said:

"Hey lovers, stop it. Zed, introduce your friends to me please."

Zed replied:

"Wait a minute. You always like to ruin the moment, don't you?"

Zed and Lamalia walked together and he said:

"Elastor Magnum, my drunken Elf."

Zed and Elastor pumped fists and shook hands, Elastor said:

"Great to see you back."

Zed continued:

"Julia Manester, someone everyone can count on."

Zed and Julia hugged each other like old friends. Alata suddenly jumped up and hugged Zed like a monkey, he said:

"Calm down little buddy, you're a lot different than the last time we met."

Zed put Alata down and Alata said:

"Yeah, I'm normal now, very loving life and no longer showing any signs of mental illness."

Zed nodded and said awkwardly:

"Yeah, good job."

Zed continued:

"And next comes Grim Yus and Belle Quart, king of the Dark Elves aka the toughest guy and queen of the Elves."

Grim and Belle bowed respectfully to Zed and Edengaz. But suddenly Grim shouted angrily:

"Oh wait, what the hell did you just say about me, you idiot?!"

Belle just smiled and tried to keep Grim from getting agitated. Then Zed said gently:

"And finally, hello again."

Zed turned around and looked at Eva, they approached and hugged each other, Zed said:

"Eva Gloria, the greatest queen of the Gloria kingdom. Still aiming carefully?"

Eva just smiled lightly and replied:

"Hello Zed."

Edengaz said:

"Great to see you guys, I'm Edengaz Corput, prince of Sandx kingdom, killed by this guy a few years ago."

Zed replied:

"Don't bring it up again, I feel so guilty. And now..."

Zed stepped forward, regained his protagonist role and faced the Kraton Empire, he said:

"What are we facing anyways?"

Crusadia team faced with the Kraton Empire, they gained new motivation and strength to face their enemies for one final battle. Everest pointed at Zed, he said angrily:

"You mortal, who are you really?"

Zed replied arrogantly, as always and forever:

"I am Zed Whitney, the most powerful Dark user in the world and the one who will defeat them all with you. Wolf Army!"

The Wolf Army behind them howled like a storm. Zed said:

"Oh yeah, I have to help everyone."

Zed unleashed the darkness and created the dark hands to devour all the cuffs that freed them. The Crusadia team was able to use their powers again and everyone instantly transformed into their final forms. Eva and The Riser transformed into Brightness Light form, Elastor transformed into Holy Fusion Elf form, Julia transformed into Armory Vines armor form, Alata transformed into Vortex armor form, Lamalia transformed into Light Rhino armor form, Grim transformed into Unchained Toxic Mist form and Belle transformed into New Shining Star form. Zed and Edengaz had two new final forms. With the Zed was Death Horseman form, now he would use the name Horseman of Death to fight with his ideals, bringing death to evil ones. Zed put on the dark wolf armor with scratches on the chest armor, the shoulder armor with three long wolf claws, the wild arm and leg armor that suited his style, the hand armor and the foot armor were sharp claws and finally the Knight's four wolf tails. The power of darkness in this form of Zed was equal to the half-wolf four-tailed form, but it was easier to control. With Edengaz was his Wild Afterlife Tiger form, his post-death form. The thighs and legs of Edengaz were like those of a tiger and grew a long white tiger tail. He also wore a gray armor with the wild style and power of a tiger, on the arm armor and legs had tiger stripes and along the arms, legs and back of Edengaz were the long claws. Zed and Edengaz put on their helmets, with Zed was a wolf head helmet with wolf ears and red eyes and with Edengaz was a mouthguard with two spikes under the chin and black eyes. Zed thrust his sword into the ground and said:

"Dark Matrix! Cover this battlefield for me! Nightmarish Darkness!"

Darkness was released from the blade of the Dante sword and unleashed the darkness all around the vast battlefield for the coming battle. Darkness quickly covered the battlefield with a huge dark dome. The dome then continued to create an underground dome and trapped them all inside a giant dark orb. Zed's power of darkness in his new form was limitless as he truly became a very powerful Dark user. The giant dark orb released a negative and fearful feeling that demoralized the soldiers of the Kraton Empire. The orb was so giant that it could be seen clearly from the kingdom of the Kraton Empire. Everest touched Zed's shadow and he looked at his hands as the sharp scratches of the nightmare of the Nightmrish Darkness. Everest whispered in surprise and confusion:

"The power of a God Slayer."

The Grand Generals felt the Nightmrish Darkness of Zed, they seemed to see thousands of souls of the innocent people they had killed in front of them even though they were never actually there. Rhohan said with confusion and a moment's hesitation at Zed's power:

"He really is a powerful Dark user, we shouldn't underestimate him."

Bahamat said to madness:

"I don't care what his power of causing the fear affects me, but I just want their heads on the stake now!"

Jean said with faith:

"Then let's start now, make them pay for hurting our God Everest."

Xanuguis said with hatred:

"Destory them all!"

Crusadia team summoned weapons and said in unison:

"Let's end everything! For the peace of the Old World!"

Their Elemental Spirits also said in unison:

"Crusadia Team Forever!"

Everest pointed at the Crusadia team's army and shouted:

"Destroy them all!"

The four Grand Generals and the Kraton fleet immediately advanced to destroy the Crusadia team's army. Crusadia team and Wolf Army also rushed to attack the Kraton Empire for this epic final battle. Zed and Eva against Rhohan, Edengaz and Lamalia against Jean, Elastor against Bahamat and Grim and Belle against Xanuguis. Julia and Alata easily handled the dragons and soldiers. The Wolf Army faced off against the Kraton army, the two fiercely confronting each other. The power of the wolf warriors was very strong as they easily confront super soldiers and kill a lot of enemies. Edengaz and Lamalia moved quickly on the ground to attack a solid defensive Jean, but very heavy and slow. They slid on the ground, and Edengaz said:

"Hey, you have an Elemental Spirit? When?"

Lamalia replied:

"Yes, I am. You know, training very hard."

Edengaz said:

"Good, that's why we're the strongest siblings."

Lamalia replied:

"Give me some sand, I need to open the seal now to defeat her."

Edengaz released the sand and said:

"You got it. Sand Tornado!"

Edengaz swings his sword and launches a sand tornado at Jean. She was not seriously injured but her surroundings were covered with sand. Jean said angry.:

"Lamalia, come here!"

Lamalia activated the sand rose seal and said:

"Heart of the Desert!"

The surrounding sand immediately formed into a giant sand arena with Edengaz and Lamalia standing on either side of Jean. The stone weapon emerged from the ground and Lamalia held a stone hammer and said:

"As your wish."

Edengaz took another stone sword and said:

"Here we go, little sis."

Jean shouted:

"I'll fight both of you!"

Edengaz and Lamalia immediately rushed at Jean. The two slid forward and smashed their weapons at Jean, the stone hammer and stone sword were instantly destroyed. Lamalia and Edengaz slipped past Jean and continued to move rapidly around to find a way to attack her. Jean said arrogantly:

"No one can pierce my invincible metal skin."

But Edengaz and Lamalia replied strongly:

"But we can."

Edengaz and Lamalia immediately rushed to Jean again. Edengaz threw his sword at Jean but she dodged but Lamalia immediately caught his sword to fight. Edengaz raised his sharp claws and scratched Jean's breastplate twice hard and shoved her shoulder in Lamalia's direction. Lamalia immediately slashed hard at the exact spot where Edengaz had scratched but still did not cause any damage. Lamalia slid backwards and launched a giant stone stake at Jean. Jean immediately punched the stone stake, but she realized that more stone stakes were coming. The stone stakes hit Jean hard, but they were all destroyed. Edengaz slid down on a stone stake and kicked Jean hard in the back of the head. Jean was slightly stunned but Edengaz continued to deliver another powerful punch to her breastplate that sent her back. Lamalia also rushed forward and threw another punch. Jean immediately threw two powerful punches at Edengaz and Lamalia but they crossed their arms to block them and were knocked back. Jean said:

"Your attacks are nothing to hurt me. Hopeless. Metal Chariot!"

Jean rushed to attack Lamalia and Edengaz forcefully with a pack of The Glory to ram them. Edengaz and Lamalia released the golden elemental aura and said together:

"Corput Ancient Smash!"

Together they raised their fists and waited as Jean approached. They immediately threw a powerful punch with the head of a rhinoceros and a tiger into Jean's breastplate and repelled her powerful attack. Then Edengaz and Lamalia continued to charge and kicked Jean again. Then they jumped up and threw another punch to her face. Edengaz swung his sword and shouted:

"Bladed Sand Tornado."

A sand tornado was launched and assembled from hundreds of blades, it slashed repeatedly at Jean while she was at a disadvantage. Jean's metal armor was gradually worn down with each slash. Edengaz said:

"Let's end her, little sis. But I don't want to kill her."

Lamalia replied:

"But I want to."

Edengaz swung his sword and released Sand Tornado and Lamalia immediately summoned The Rhino to ram Jean. Sand Tornado combined with The Rhino's powerful butt to create a giant drill that destroys them all. Jean looked at Lamalia who was rushing towards her, she was also reckless and rushed in. Jean threw a fist of destruction at Lamalia's drill but they pushed each other hard. But Lamalia pushed harder and the pressure from the drill slowly destroyed Jean's armor. Lamalia and The Rhino rammed Jean and destroyed her forever. The sand arena collapsed and Edengaz and Lamalia straightened, they pumped their fists and said:

"Oh yeah!"

The Corput siblings then continued to fight the enemy. Returning to Elastor, he was flying next to Zed and Eva to attack the enemy, Zed said with sarcasm:

"What? You have a new form? It's ironic how you swear to use your dark powers less."

Elastor replied:

"Hey, I've mastered this power. But lend me a little of your darkness."

Zed replied tiredly:

"This is the third time you've borrowed my darkness."

Zed imparts darkness to Elastor and continues:

"Use it wisely. You are lucky that this time I have infinite darkness."

Elastor nodded and flew to Bahamat with the Star greatsword ready. Bahamat saw Elastor approaching, he immediately unleashed a storm behind him and leaped wildly at him. Elastor dashed forward faster and swung his sword into Bahamat's chest, causing him to crash into the ground. Bahamat immediately stood up and roared so hard that the surrounding ground cracked. Elastor landed hard on the ground and also cracked the surrounding ground. The two looked at each other with two different thoughts, one was indignation to the limit and the other was excitement. Elator and Bahamat immediately rushed into each other and fought with all their might. Bahamat swung two tusks at Elastor but he immediately swung his sword to parry the blow. Elastor also quickly swung another slash to Bahamat's chest to knock him back. Elastor said:

"Still trying, huh?"

Bahamat roared loudly and combined the two tusks in his hands into a sharp pincer in his right hand, he said angrily:

"I will cut off your head and decorate my body with your skull!"

Elastor replied confidently:

"And I will become your most worthy opponent!"

Elastor infused darkness into the Star greatsword and transformed the greatsword into the Black Star greatsword. Elastor and Bahamat immediately rushed into each other and fought fiercely. Bahamat swung the pincer at Elastor to kill him but Elastor swung his sword to block him. The two pushed each other strongly and no one could stop their forces. Bahamat opened his pincer and pushed forward to clamp Elastor's neck, but he turned his sword sideways to jam the two pincers. Elastor had swung his sword at the same time that it rotated Bahamat's right arm and threw him away. Elastor immediately flew towards Bahamat and he floated in mid-air. Elastor slashed repeatedly at Bahamat and he also repeatedly parried. Elastor swung his sword with a mighty blow and launched a dark lightning that slashed at Bahamat. Bahamat raised his pincer and blocked the dark lightning. The two attacks collided violently with each other and then exploded in a terrible explosion that repelled Bahamat and Elastor. Bahamat and Elastor landed forcefully and then stood up. Bahamat realized his pincer had been destroyed and a piece of tusk pierced Elastor's left shoulder. Elastor pulled it out and said sarcastically:

"You're not even as strong as when we first met."

Infuriated by a nobody Elf guy, Bahamat unleashed a huge storm behind and his thunder destroyed the ground behind. Elastor flew up and raised his sword in preparation. Bahamat's eyes were as white as an animal's, and he immediately leapt at Elastor as if flying towards him. Bahamat kicked hard into the air like he was kicking a wall to launch at Elastor fasted and stabbed the two tusks on his chest into his shoulders and made him bleed. Bahamat's two fists released stormy lightning and created two destructive fists. Then Bahamat frantically punched Elastor in the chest and roared like a fierce beast. Each punch released a vibration that caused the ground to explode below. But Elastor immediately activated "Left Eye of Thunder" and "Right Eye of Chaos", he immediately released a huge dark explosion on his chest and released an electric blast into the sky to kill the numerous dragons flying around. Bahamat tried to resist the dark explosion in front of him but his two tusks were instantly cracked and destroyed and he was sent flying away. Elastor immediately flew forward and slashed repeatedly at Bahamat's chest, each slash releasing dozens of black lightning bolts that struck him in the chest. Bahamat launched his white lightning from his mouth at Elastor but he cut it in half and gave Bahamat a dark punch to shut him up. Elastor raised the Black Star greatsword and the blade released a huge amount of dark energy. Elastor stabbed Bahamat in the chest and unleashed all the power of darkness at him. Feeling his body about to explode, Bahamat said in hatred:

"I can't die humiliatingly like this."

Bahamat exploded and vanished forever. Elastor landed on the ground and said:

"You have greatly underestimated me, for I am the strongest sword of all my friends!"

Elastor then continued to fight the Kraton fleet. Continue with Grim and Belle's battle with Xanuguis. Grim and Belle flew as fast as they could while dodging Xanuguis's machine guns firing at them. Grim pulled out the Ronin Katana and shouted:

"Smoke Slash!"

Grim swung his sword and released a smoke slash at Xanuguis. Xanuguis shot at the smoke slash but it exploded in mid-air creating a large circle of smoke that landed on the ground and surrounded her. Grim and Belle immediately landed on the ground and hid in the smoke. Xanuguis immediately released machine gun bullets into the surroundings and smoke and said in an offensive voice:

"Get out! You won't be able to hide in there for long!"

But what Xanuguis sees are sparks in the smoke caused by Grim pushing the bullets away and Belle's energy shield shielding her. And all that powerful activity going on around Xanuguis as Grim and Belle were flying around her and confusing her even more. Suddenly Belle released a blast of white elemental aura that made her glow in the smoke. Xanuguis immediately pointed a machine gun at her, but Belle waved her wand and said:

"Nature's Symphony!"

A wall of vines rose from the ground and surrounded Xanuguis. The lily flowers sprouted and released a light scent that calmed Xanuguis's mind, but she immediately pumped adrenaline to wake up. Xanuguis activated her jetpack to fly, but the wall of thorny vines grew with her to trap her inside. Belle was manipulating the wall of vines outside with the Athena wand so Xanuguis immediately flew around to exhaust her. But Grim shot out from the smoke and held the Ronin Katana in his mouth and the blade pointed to the right, he said:

"The Predator, slash hard for me."

Grim aimed carefully at where Xanuguis was going next and dashed there with his supersonic speed. The two blades on Grim's arms glowed the white of moonlight like Exos, he said:

"Endless Blade, Slash!"

Grim swung two blades and unleashed more than a million slashes that covered the sky at Xanuguis. Xanguis saw this and raised a metal shield on her left hand to cover it. But suddenly Xanuguis felt no slash had hit her, and Grim shot out and turned his head so that his sword hit the large battery behind her, leaking her energy. Only when Xanuguis realized Grim's plan, she thought to herself:

"Those slashes are just an illusion of moonlight, he sneaks attacks on me while I'm covering."

Suddenly Xanuguis was hit by multiple smoke slashes again in surprise. Xanuguis thought to himself:

"So they used half illusions, half real slashes. Damn it!"

Xanuguis was attacked by surprise and could not resist in time. Belle stands below and continues to fire a light orb at Xanuguis. Xanuguis suffered another explosion in front of her and fell to the ground. Grim landed beside Belle and took his sword out of his mouth, he said:

"Has she been destroyed?"

Belle replied:

"Yes..."

Xanuguis stood up from the explosion, she tore off her shirt to reveal her cyborg body. Most of Xanuguis's body was replaced by her with machines, leaving only her right arm, half of her body, her head except for her left eye, hair, heart, and brain, only the were of a human body. Xanuguis said:

"You pathetic, technology of the future. You can't do anything with my body."

Belle continued:

"No, we can't hurt her yet."

Grim replied:

"And we made her angry even more."

Xanuguis took out the sonic guns and fired at Grim and Belle. Belle quickly dodged and Grim lunged for Xanuguis's attack. Grim with supersonic speed easily flew through the supersonic wave to immediately approach Xanuguis and swing his sword at her. Xanuguis immediately dodged and fired a sonic wave at close range at Grim. Grim immediately stood still and moved at supersonic speed to escape the attack. Grim swung his sword quickly and slashed at Xanuguis's chest and said:

"What did you say about Owl?"

Xanuguis stepped back and replied:

"That pathetic guy? He never deserved to be a Grand General like me."

Grim drew his sword back into its scabbard and said:

"He deserves so much more than you."

Grim immediately drew his sword quickly from its scabbard like Owl and slashed hard at Xanuguis's chest causing her to fall even further. Belle suddenly appeared from behind and kicked Xanuguis's back hard with her foot to mess up the mechanics and her backpack. Those legs were also activated with Elemental Flow so they had stronger kicking power. The system appeared in Xanuguis's left eye with a serious error message, she said angrily:

"The Evolution, get out!"

The Evolution was summoned and immediately activated psychic powers to capture Grim and Belle. Grim prepares to slash at Xanuguis and Belle raises her wand to attack The Evolution. Suddenly time stopped, Belle's soul flew out and she thought to herself:

"Where am I?"

Suddenly The Evolution replied:

"This is my spiritual world, I brought you here to ask you a favor."

Belle knew The Evolution but when she remembered how Xanuguis hated and exploited it, she said:

"Okay, so what do you want from me?"

The Evolution replied:

"Please free my master's mind from that mechanical body. She has been manipulated by technology and brainwashed her mind."

Belle said curiously:

"But Xanuguis said she hates magic and never wants to touch it, she even hates having to rely on you and use magic because there's no other way."

The Evolution replied:

"No, my master was never like that. She was once a skilled wizard like you,

but it was the Kraton Empire who brought her back of its own accord to transform her, brainwash her, and turn her into an evil alchemist. So please Miss Belle, save her. Destroying her is also freeing her and me."

Belle understood the story of The Evolution, so she said:

"Okay, I accept. I'm sorry to have to do this."

The Evolution replied:

"It's okay, I'm ready for this deliverance."

As time lapsed back to normal, Belle pointed her wand from The Evolution to Xanuguis and fired a light beam at her. And one more Grim slash makes the system even more damaged, Xanuguis is having a hard time controlling the system, she said:

"Damn you, The Evolution!"

Xanuguis fired bullets at Grim and Belle as a last resort, but The Evolution jumped out and took the bullets for them. The Evolution was bleeding, it said:

"Enough, master, you can't harm anyone anymore."

Xanuguis replied:

"The Evolution, you dare betray me? Then I'll drag you all to hell!"

Xanuguis activated the self-destruct system on her mechanical body. The Evolution immediately created a psychic barrier surrounding it and Xanuguis. Belle and The Evolution looked at each other, she hesitated because she knew it was going to die but The Evolution nodded as if to say it would be fine. Xanuguis exploded into a giant explosion and the Evolution died with her. Grim and Belle stood together, he said:

"Why does it help us?"

Belle replied:

"It is a unique release from the greatest conflict between an Elemental Spirit and its master."

Grim said:

"Although it may be our enemy, I respect it because it did it."

Grim and Belle then fought the next enemies together. And finally, the battle between the two most powerful Dark users in history. Rhohan had to use Destruction form to fight Zed and Eva. Zed and Rhohan lunged and swung their swords at each other, they pushed hard while Eva shot Sunshine arrows from afar to help Zed. Rhohan said angrily:

"How can your dark power have such great power?"

Zed replied:

"Because that's the power we were born with, but it's not an easy thing to achieve."

Behind Zed appeared the image of a black wolf and behind Rhohan appeared the image of a black dragon, two legendary creatures confronting each other with all their might. Zed used the power of darkness and pushed Rhohan away and Eva immediately shot an arrow at him. The Sunshine arrows purified Rhohan's darkness, putting him at a disadvantage. Rhohan immediately unleashed Destruction Darkness and destroyed both the air and the ground below. Eve and The Riser immediately created shields of light to keep them safe. As for Zed taking that attack and absorbing it back, his eyes turned red and Zed unleashed Nightmarish Darkness and surprised Rhohan even more with his invincible power. Zed and Rhohan charged at each other and their swords unleashed dark blades. Zed and Rhohan swung their swords at each other from afar and their blades clashed creating a violent vibration. Everest felt Zed's power and said:

"He's not simply an ordinary powerful Dark user. He must have something to do with Rhohan."

Rhohan remembers that he had two cloned sons created from his blood, one of which was missing, he asked Zed:

"Where were you born?"

Zed replied with curiosity:

"You're asking stupid questions while fighting. I was born in the Highland Continent, I don't know who my parents were but I thank them for letting me stay at that barracks."

Rhohan remembered that his son was lost when a zeppelin escorted him by sea to the kingdom, he thought to himself:

"That journey, so he got hit by a storm and my son was swept away to the Highland Continent."

Zed unleashed darkness and unleashed the colossal The Knight into Rhohan. The Knight tore at him brutally and fired another dark beam at him, injuring him even more. Rhohan immediately threw a punch to the head of the black dragon The Demigod at The Knight. The two Elemental Spirits banged their heads and tore each other violently. Rhohan raised his sword of darkness and said:

"You can't fight anymore!"

Rhohan thrust his sword into the air and launched dark orbs at members of the Crusadia team to swap their abilities. Eva said worriedly:

"Zed, don't let that touch you."

Zed replied excitedly:

"I don't have to dodge anything."

Zed raised the Dante Sword and it released darkness that sucked all the dark orbs into it. Rhohan said in surprise:

"Impossible!"

Zed returned a dark beam at Rhohan and left him with severe dark burns. Rhohan immediately released all his darkness and absorbed the Nightmrish Darkness from Zed's Dark Matrix, he said furiously:

"You've forced me to fight for real with all my might!"

Zed also released his darkness and replied:

"And I'm still fighting lightly."

Eva immediately created The Arrow of The New Dawn and fixed the arrow on The Riser's horn, Eva carefully aimed at Rhohan and said:

"Aim carefully, thanks for the advice."

A dragon flew to attack Eva, but Edengaz immediately launched a sand slash that killed it. Zed and Rhohan immediately rushed forward and threw a dark fist at each other. When the two fists collided, they created a huge vibration on their arms. Rhohan's scales cracked and Zed's arm armor cracked as well. Zed immediately swung his sword into Rhohan's chest and gave another slash to knock him back down. Rhohan gathered the darkness and sprayed a dark flame at Zed, he raised his hand to slowly absorb the flame's power. Eva took the opportunity, she shouted:

"The Arrow of The New Dawn!"

Eva shot the arrow of light at Rhohan, Zed immediately dashed through the flames and punched Rhohan in the face, stunning him. Rhohan was then hit by The Arrow of The New Dawn, severely wounding him and nearly purging his darkness. Death Horseman armor was slowly healing from Rhohan's dark flames, Zed raised the Devil sword Dante and released darkness onto the blade. Zed shouted strongly:

"Dark Slash!"

Zed swung his sword and launched a dark slash at Rhohan, the new slash becoming sharp and cutting through the air. Rhohan said in surprise:

"You can't defeat me!"

Rhohan was stabbed in the chest by the dark slash, his body dissolved into darkness and flew away. And all the Grand Generals who were called the most powerful warriors in the world were completely annihilated. With the Kraton fleet, they after many years of invincibility are being gradually defeated by the Wolf Army. The super-soldiers fired Handcannons at the Wolf Warriors with only swords, shields, and wolf claws. But the Wolf Warriors, with their speed and great bravery, were not afraid of bullets. They were already dead so their bodies were like ghosts instead of Zed and Edengaz's real bodies so bullets couldn't do anything. The Wolf Warriors slayed all the super soldiers brutally like wolves. Julia faced off with many oncoming soldiers, she immediately launched thorny vines into the ground and launched huge thorny vines to the ground and bound the enemy. Nearby zeppelins were also bound by thorny vines and crushed. Alata summoned wind to create giant wind drills, he launched wind drills and pierced hundreds of zeppelins and destroyed them all. Edengaz swung his sword and shouted:

"Titan Tornado!"

Edengaz unleashed a giant sand tornado on the Kraton army and blew them and the dragons into the air. Elastor and Zed flew into the tornado and together they released an explosion of darkness and thunder that destroyed all the dragons and enemy armies. Seeing that all the Grand Generals had been defeated, his army was being pushed back strongly, Everest did not think that he was gradually weakening despite having divine power, he shouted:

"I will rebirth the Old World, no matter how you fight back!"

Everest raised his hand high and created an energy giant orb like a sun, he was absorbing all the physical energy of the universe to create a New World. Crusadia team shouted together:

"And we won't let that happen!"

Crusadia team immediately attacked Everest simultaneously. Zed launched a dark slash, Eva fired The Arrow of The New Dawn, Elastor launched a dark lightning bolt, Julia launched a green energy orb, Alata launched a wind drill, Edengaz launched a sand tornado, Lamalia launched a giant stone stake, Grim launched the smoke slash and Belle launched the light beam. All of the elemental attacks hit Everest in the chest and left a severe burn but he continued to prepare for the process of rebirth the world. Crusadia team continued to attack him. Julia leapt onto the thorny vines that bound Everest's legs. Lamalia repeatedly launched giant stone stakes into Everest's stomach but could not penetrate his body. Alata launched wind drills combined with giant spikes into a stronger drill and slowly penetrated Everest's body. Everest created two more arms to stop the Crusadia team and release divine energy to repel them but the Crusadia team still bravely fought even more. Everest swung fists at the flying members but Grim and Edengaz quickly flew along his arms and slashed rapidly and cut off the energy arms. Eva shot The Arrow of The New Dawn and Belle launched four Pure Light Beams from her wings at Everest. The four Pure Light Beams rotated and fused into a spiral beam and combined with The Arrow of The New Dawn to form a giant energy arrow that attacked Everest's chest. But that attack still couldn't do much to him and he even absorbed the attacks back. Zed and Elastor flew up to Everest's energy orb to attack it. The duo launched thousands of dark slashes and dark lightning at the energy orb, but it did no damage to Everest. Zed said:

"Damn it! How?"

Everest replied with mockery to the Crusadia team:

"You can't do anything to an almighty god like me! Anything you attack me, I'll absorb it all!"

Zed just realized something, he said:

"Absorb all the power? Then absorb this!"

The four wolf tails released darkness and Zed launched a dark beam at Everest's chest, Zed shouted:

"Everyone! Give him an energy overload!"

They immediately attacked even more fiercely. Everyone released all their elements and launched them all into Everest's chest. Zed, Edengaz, Elastor, and Grim all swung their swords and released four slashes of darkness, sand, thunder, and smoke. The attack combined into an elemental slash and hit Everest hard. Grim shouted:

"Endless Blade! Slash!"

The blades on Grim's arms glowed with Exos's moonlight and he sped up at supersonic speeds into Everest. He shot up and slashed continuously from the legs to the abdomen, chest and arms of Everest. His thousands of slashes exploded, stunning Everest, then the Ronin sword's blade shone in the moonlight, Grim raised his sword and shouted:

"Death Slash!"

Grim swung his sword hard and unleashed a moonlight slash and hit Everest in the face, the huge explosion stunning him. Everest was angered and punched Grim, but Elastor and Edengaz immediately swung their swords to stop his right fist. Elastor and Edengaz released their energy and launched a sandstorm and dark lightning into Everest's right arm and severed it. Everest backed away then Grim lunged forward and grumbled:

"I don't need your help!"

Edengaz looked at Grim and said:

"I've never seen such a belligerent guy."

Elastor shrugged and replied:

"Well, you know. No brain."

Then Elastor and Edengaz continued to charge and fight Everest. Eva fired The Arrow of New Dawn into Everest's chest and Zed swung his sword to launch a giant dark slash. They fused together into a dark and light arrow that exploded onto Everest. Alata launched a wind drill at Everest and Elastor combined with his thunder and created a storm drill. The storm drill exploded and severed Everest's left arm. Julia launched more thorny vines to tie Everest's legs, she said tiredly:

"Oh my, I can't do it anymore."

Belle flew over and waved her wand and said:

"Nature's Symphony!"

Belle rose up two walls of vines as high as a mountain to surround and bind Everest's legs. Elastor fired hundreds of lightning bolts at the vines and shocked both legs and then Everest's body. Everest had not give up yet, he continued to create energy arms and attack Crusadia team, he destroyed the stone stakes and freed him from the thorny vines on his legs. Lamalia released all her energy and with Zed by her side, she launched more than a hundred giant stone stakes combined with his darkness at Everest and thurst hard at Everest to hold him back. Eva and Julia flew around Everest and attacked him repeatedly. Everest threw a giant fist at them but Julia threw two whips of thorny vines that bound the arms and Eva and Julia stretched the arm. Edengaz released the sand on the blade and sliced ​​off that arm, then he immediately launched a powerful sand slash into Everest's chest to repel him. Alata launched a giant wind drill into Everest's chest and combined with Elastor's thunderbolts to explode over Everest's chest. Belle enchanted Grim's sword and together they slashed down Everest's chest, making a powerful cut but not enough. Everest kept absorbing all the elements, but suddenly he realized that all over his body there were cracks appearing with their elements pouring in. Everest said:

"No, impossible! I WILL NEVER DIE OR BE DEFEATED!"

Everest unleashed a lot of energy and repelled the Crusadia team. Their power became disordered except for Zed and Edengaz. Everest's energy wave shook the world and caused the world to become even more chaotic. Zed stuck his sword in midair and shouted:

"Dark Matrix! Wave Mode!"

Behind Zed released a lot of darkness and he created a dark wave to counter Everest's wave. Everest was taken a step back because it couldn't stand the dark wave of Zed, he thought to himself:

"How could he have that terrible dark power?!"

Then Zed swung his sword into the air and helped everyone stabilize their power and they continued to fight Everest. The epic and great battle between the Crusadia team and Everest shook the world, each of Everest's punches into the air shook the mountains and the sky. But the Crusadia team's combined attacks slowly destroyed him, all of them like god-slayers in a final battle with their corrupt god. This final battle will decide all, fate, freedom, peace and the end of the world. Everest punched two powerful fists of energy into the Crusadia team but Zed and Edengaz landed on them, then they ran along the arm while slashing repeatedly then cutting the arm off. Lamalia raised a giant rock like a meteor, then she used Alata's wind propulsion and Belle's energy to stab it straight into Everest's stomach. The drill hit Everest hard and made him bleed, he shouted angrily:

"It's not over yet!"

Everest was about to punch down to destroy Lamalia's stone stake, but Zed, Easter, and Eva unleashed a special elemental attack that blew up his left hand. Julia quickly launched the thorny vines up and forced down Everest's right hand. Taking advantage of opportunities, Grim, Belle, and Edengaz strike quickly from the right to Everest's face with lethal elemental attacks and briefly stun him. Everest tried to fight back, but Lamalia's stone stake drilled through his body and held him. Crusadia team shouted strongly:

"FINAL CRUSADIA STRIKE!"

The Knight, The Riser, The Star, The Helper, The Warrior, The Rhino, The Ghost, The Predator and The Lily were summoned and they unleashed all their elemental attacks on Everest's chest. Their attack was slowly destroying Everest, he said:

"What I want is a world where our fate is ours to decide, why can't you understand that? That's freedom."

Eva replied:

"Then why was it that when the Book of Fates was destroyed, we were still here to fight you? Is that fate? No, that is our natural course of action, we are fighting for the peace of the Old World!"

Zed raised his sword high and shouted:

"Dark Slash!"

Zed swung his sword and launched a giant slash at Everest's head. The first attack had begun the journey and would also be the last attack to end it all. The attack that hit his face was powerful and overloaded him with energy. Everest could no longer hold his energy orb and dropped his hand. The God had lost. Everest's body slowly disintegrated and he was completely annihilated. In his final moments, he still did not understand why his attempts, plans and aims against the fate of the gods had failed. Everest has been destroyed forever, he released a great energy wave throughout the universe, restoring balance to the Old World, all concepts, new life had returned. And this time, the fate of humanity was really up to them, but the responsibility for that was also theirs. Crusadia team gathered together and turned back to normal, their Elemental Spirits withdrew. Julia helped exhausted Alata up and said:

"Is everything over yet?"

Eva nodded and happily said:

"Yeah, it's all over."

Everyone laughed together happily with their victory. In the final battle, they gathered together to fight side by side. Suddenly the gates from the afterlife opened, Zed said:

"Well, sorry guys, we have to return to the afterlife."

Everyone was surprised and Lamalia quickly replied:

"But I thought you two would live on."

Zed hugged Lamalia and said with sadness:

"Sorry Lamalia, but we're dead and belong to the afterlife. It would be against the law of nature for us to stay here."

Lamalia replied sadly:

"Then let me follow you, we will be together in the afterlife."

Zed said:

"No, you still have people and responsibilities to them here. I love you, but I don't want you to live for me, live for you."

Lamalia burst into tears and kissed Zed. Edengaz said to the Crusadia team:

"You guys have impressed me with your abilities, please continue to defend and fight on our behalf."

Eva, Elastor, Julia, Alata, Grim and Belle bowed in respect to Edengaz. The wolf warriors have all returned to the afterlife, Zed and Edengaz waved goodbye to everyone and Zed said:

"Goodbye everyone, thanks for this last meeting."

The duo turned and left. Suddenly Eva ran over and replied:

"Wait, Zed?"

Zed turned around and looked at Eva, she said:

"I'm very happy that you have become a great queen. Keep building the new kingdom and don't forget, aim carefully."

Eva and Zed ran to hug each other, Elastor, Julia, Lamalia and Alata also ran over and hugged him. Close friends had to say goodbye again, so they had to give a touching goodbye hug. Then Zed and Edengaz said their last goodbyes and prepared to enter the gates of the afterlife. Suddenly the duo banged their heads against the gate and fell to the ground. Everyone was dumbfounded by the incident. Edengaz rubbed his forehead in pain and said:

"What the hell?"

Zed replied:

"I do not know."

Suddenly Exos and Urizen's souls appeared behind the gate and Exos said:

"Hey, Zed and Edengaz, you two can stay in the human world."

Zed replied with confusion:

"Thanks. Wait, or what? Why are we allowed to stay here?"

Exos said:

"The afterlife got better after Everest was destroyed, I and many people here can continue to manage and let death continue. You two continue to live, because you two deserve it."

Exos looked at Grim, he nodded slightly with respect to Grim, he said:

"Well, Grim, congrats on learning my Moonlight Magic well. I have to say I'm proud of you. Just a little bit. So live in peace."

Grim nodded as well. Exos turned around and left. As for Urizen, he looked at Crusadia team then Eva and said:

"Good luck to this world."

Urizen left with the belief of a new peaceful world built by the Crusadia team. Zed and Edengaz stood up, Zed said:

"Well, let's go home."

Everyone hugged Zed and Edengaz then they went to find a good zeppelin to return home. Grim and Belle went to Owl's grave, he placed Ronin Katana on top of the rocks and said:

"For you to lose is to take the loser's weapon as a trophy. To me it is to return the weapon to its owner to honor the dead."

Grim stood up and said:

"It's true that Owl is the only Grand General whose grave is built, but he will also be forgotten and his grave will be lonely and cold here."

Belle let flowers grow around the grave and replied:

"But you'll always remember him, right?"

Grim and Belle hugged, he said:

"Yeah."

Grim and Belle then left and walked over to everyone, then Grim said:

"So what do we do next? Rebuild our kingdom, help everyone and that's it?"

Belle replied softly:

"So what do you want more? Adventure? Exploration? Fight? Friends?"

Grim stopped and Belle stopped too, he smiled and said:

"Family? With you, everything is more than enough and perfect for me. It's time for me to find my peace."

Belle smiled too and they hugged and then shared a passionate kiss. It was time for Grim and Belle to be happy together. The scene gradually faded away with the Crusadia team boarding a small zeppelin to go back to the kingdom of the Kraton Empire. Surrounded by remnants of a great war, it will be remembered not for its cruelty but for the moment the world was at peace forever after. Crusadia team's Journey to Celestial was over. Zed and Lamalia held hands happily, Grim hugged Belle and she leaned on his shoulder, Elastor and Julia leaned back and smiled together, Alata smiled and laughed happily, Edengaz smiled relaxed and cool and Eva had the brightest and happiest smile on her face, her smile as bright as the sun. Together they looked at the new sun that was slowly rising, they enjoyed the peaceful moments together. Their Mini Elemental Spirits were summoned and they stood side by side looking at the sun with their master. The Knight said coldly:

"And this is our ending, perfect."

The Riser said calmly:

"I've been waiting a long time for this moment."

The Star said excitedly:

"It's so bright, like a star."

The Helper said gently:

"We feel really warm."

The Ghost finally only spoke a few words, it said in a ghostly voice:

"I'm so touched, I can finally speak at this wonderful moment."

The Warrior said proudly:

"I feel so proud of what we've been through."

The Rhino said:

"This is truly a perfect ending."

The Predator grumbled:

"The light is so bright, but I feel it's beautiful."

The Lily said softly:

"Let's start something new, people."

Peace was returning to the Old World.
