CH.211: Pseudo Balance Breaker (part 1).

( Yuuki's POV )

Yuuki: You keep asking us to surrender, are you that scared?

???: Insolent brat.

The enemy god pointed his palm at me, he gathered energy to fire a powerful attack but before he could, Uzume's white veil wrapped around his arm and she pulled his hand down, Barghest used the power of her chains to return all the damage he received with the first attack, and Tsukiumi's water snake also launched a powerful attack.

Tsukiumi: [Water celebration]

The powerful jets of water and Barghest's chains pushed the god back but again, he was unharmed.

Tsukiumi: You! Tell me what's your name? You're going on my list of worthy enemies.

???: You have a strong spirit woman, maybe I'll keep you with me when this is over, my name is Stern, feel honored to know it.

After hearing what he said my blood began to boil and I transformed into my Asura form, I launched myself at maximum speed and when the god Stern noticed my peak in power he looked at me in shock, He became more serious and tried to catch me but I kicked the air with wind magic to dodge, I flew in circles along his arm while I cut him with my colossal sword and when I reached his head I transformed my spear into a hammer and hit him with all my strength, The impact was so powerful that he was blown into the wall.

Yuuki: Be careful what you say.

I wasn't the only one who was angry when I heard what he said, Tsukiumi who was in front released a huge amount of power, her eyes turned red and the air around her began to vibrate, she stretched out the hand that was holding her katana and the water snake she created was concentrated on her sword and with a swing she released a powerful water blade, while I was floating above the enemy I created a sphere of concentrated gravity and attacked together with Tsukiumi.

At that moment Stern saw us as a real threat, he tried to move but Akitsu froze his legs to the ground, our attacks connected with both of his arms and this time the damage was quite obvious when my attack touched his arm, it twisted and was drawn to the center of my attack until it disappeared, in the other place, Tsukiumi's attack cut off his other arm without any problem, As he drew blood I raised my arm and prepared a bigger attack, some of the girls ran towards him while others prepared large attacks from afar, Lilith started shooting aiming only at his eyes, he had no arms to cover himself so he could only shake his head in annoyance.

When the god had enough punishment he released a powerful shockwave of energy that pushed us all back, and then he stood up and his arms immediately regenerated, His expression was one of complete fury and he began to float a few meters above the ground, lights came out of his body that transformed into five clones in front of us, They prepared to attack so we regrouped and Akitsu and I put up a barrier of crystal and ice.

When the assault ended, we dispersed to deal with the enemy.

The god's original body was gathering energy to create more clones, so we had to finish this quickly, or maybe not, I think I know what trick he was using.

I stepped back and let the girls show the results of their training, Yumina, Haruhime, and Leo showed their new transformation abilities, Yumina who could previously take a dragonewt form like me but now her body was completely enveloped in light, and then she emerged as a beautiful golden dragon, Haruhime and Leo let their animal side free and they transformed into a giant silver fox and silver lioness.

Saeko, Reina, Barghest, Uzume, and Hilde were not very good at using magic or other elemental attacks, especially Hilde, They took another route and used their new power boost to create auras around their bodies that enhanced their physical capabilities, on top of neutral magic like [Boost] and [Accel], Saeko took that to another level and created a Reaper avatar that flew near her, which was similar to the Personas that Ranko and I used.

The rest of the girls did not awaken new abilities but with their increased energy, they could use larger and more powerful attacks with ease.

Ranko: Hey Yuuki I guess it's true that great minds think alike.

Ranko who was next to me suddenly said something strange in the middle of the battle, I was going to ask what she meant but when she pulled out her sword I quickly knew what she was talking about, Ranko summoned one of her Personas, Izanagi, and she began to circulate and balance her energy between her and her Persona, just like what I did when we started the invasion, her Persona overlapped with her and they merged, the change seemed only cosmetic but I could feel the massive increase in power, She had a long black skirt and an open black jacket, her breasts were covered only by white bandages, something like a high school delinquent, She also had a white mask just like her Persona's.

Yuuki: That's a... Interesting look.

Ranko: [Shut up, I like it.]

Yuuki: No, I'm saying I like it too.

Ranko's voice in that state was like two voices overlapping in a somewhat terrifying way, I extended my fist towards her, and after bumping fists with me, she joined the girls in the fight.

The clones that Stern had created were not any weaker than the original but since we knew that he could be damaged the girls did not hold back this time, and those clones did not regenerate, The bodies of the clones that the girls defeated were absorbed by the original body, with all the information I had, I had his trick deciphered so I joined the fight.
