Figuring Out The Next Counter Act

"Do we have another plan for defeating this monster, Chemistra?" Agano continued the flow of the cautious conversation.

The Chemist rubbed her chin and bowed down her neck as she dug deeper on grasping the shining answer. Regardless, Chemistra switched her gaze toward the bluish-radar screen within her white clock, convincing her to widen her rotating eyes in gusting surprise.

Sparror who caught the glimpse of his fellow ally trapped in surprise hurriedly waved his molten hand upward. A bubbly fiery construct across beneath the ground and safely barricaded the heroes from the outside view. An outside view filled with the impudent assault as Yxelzon channeled, charging crimson sparkles on both of its palms.

A tiny, hovering fiery torch materialized beside the left of The Flaming Hero's helmet as he eyed The Chemist who switched her watchful eyes toward him and retrieved her watch. The conversation of the heroes would soon reach the starting phase with both Chemistra and Sparror locking their stares.

"Did you find something within the detector?" Sparror asked, steered down his curious gaze onto the radar screen on the white, and released a contorting shocked gasp after receiving a discovery inside it.

Chemistra elevated the radar screen toward The Flaming Hero who glanced at her once more. Sparror precisely fixated his sight on The Chemist's screen and raised one of his shivering fingers, luring the other heroes such as Akushijo and Agano on gazing at the radar screens latched on each of the clocks.

A round of shocking puffs was exhaled on both Akushijo and Agano after locking their eyes on the screen. The radar screen unveiled another red dot on the left sky above, near the middle dot belonging to Yxelzon who thrust back both of his hands and gripped the giant crimson orbs on the palms.

"Oh shit, there is another one too, but we couldn't really see it," Akushiji muttered in a bemused demeanor, surveying the above view on the left and only receiving clouds within his vision.

Chemistra sighed, "Most likely, The Phantom himself only uses some kind of camouflage magic."

"Also, I began to believe that The Phantom was some kind of a power source for keeping this monster alive," Chemistra explained firmly.

Agano nodded and admitted with him pinched his chin, "It's quite possible The Phantom decided to camouflage."

"I also believe the camouflage magic he cast was also very strong since most of us who had a super sense couldn't even sense it," Agano remarked and continued with a little spark of skepticism streaming into his voice, "Because of that, how we can capture The Phantom himself if none of us couldn't see him?"

"Also, this is not just a normal stealth, it's like entering a different dimension from the information I collected about Kandrum." Agano added, "Especially the time when the statue transferred me the little glimpse of knowledge related with this."

Akushijo heaved his eyes in soothing realization and uttered, "Yes my power also works almost like him, but it's only temporary and sadly…I couldn't travel into other people's pocket dimension."

The Onmyouji rested both of his pinching hands and got up his sight in order to observe Yxelzon shoving forward its charging palms in a straight line shooting position. While The Flaming Hero kept raising him in beating shock as his armored hands trembled temporarily, pressing down his gleaming eyes in assertiveness.

'Now understand I couldn't see you back then,' Sparror mumbled through his mind, enlightening brief flashes through his asserted eyes before steering back his gaze toward The Chemist who exhaled a hefty distorting tone.

Moreover, The Chemist gestured a commanding-opened palm to Sparror precisely on his white watch. Other heroes such as Akushijo also sharply steered his shivering-lantern eyes sprinkled in a little bit of anxiousness as the statement from Chemistra was closed enough to be declared with her pointing her needle finger on the other wrist.

"There is still a chance The Phantom to be detected which is I needed to absorb the detectors to enhance my vision," Chemistra uttered with a stern tone and eyed at The Flaming Hero shortly, "Minimal two detectors even though there will a be a cost for me to pay, to be exact my limbs will be temporarily disabled"

"A cost on casting an emergency Kandrum disabler I also built within the detectors too," Chemistra added in a stoic demeanor.

Akushijo rolled his eyes and spoke in utter disbelief, "What the…hell? Are you sure your contrive way will work on this!?"

"Well….It's better we try, Akushijo." Sparror assured in a flaring-encouraging demeanor. sharpening his heedful gaze on the view forward.

The planning construction met its striking interruption with the Yxelzon jounced back both of its arms and unleashing the twin crimson blast, vaporizing the sand below as it kept flung toward the heroes. Sparror lined two of his finger he placed on the above and waved them around for chanting a new command to bubbly construct.

The fiery bubble instantly devoured him and the other heroes in less than a second, leaving no longer a physical trace of them anymore when The Flaming Hero hurled down his lined-up fingers. Afterward, the blazing construct vanished from the naked eyes, letting the twin blast pummelled intangible airs.

Noticing the enemy's elusive disappearances, Yxelzon quickly crossed both of its arms and illuminated the sparkling flashes through the reflective surface of the restful shards on the ribs. The blood-red show party swiftly parted away by dimming out all the lights on the rib parts with the sky scrapping humanoid tilted its head onto the right, only remarkable exception was the right shard on the above ribs.

Yxelzon's hawk-glaring sight concisely caught the recent spawn of the hovering fiery ball that was safely contained inside the heroes. One of the heroes, Chemistra hoisted her bulky gauntlet and launched all five porcupine missiles-like, needle fingers with yellowish liquid due to she recently wiped out every remaining azure light within her metal body and replaced it with the pear yellow for replacing the central spotlight.

Moreover, the fleeing needle fingers were embedded with active fiery torches on each of them, convincing Yxelzon to propel its left hand and swiftly unshackled the beaming-crimson blast. Witnessing the blast was in the narrow distance of eradicating the glistening assault of the blazing needle fingers, The Flaming Hero clenched his right molten fingers and drove upward.

"ZURYAH!!!" Sparror grunted.

The blazing needle fingers vanished in thin air as the blast barged in before remarkably respawned on the back of The Humanoid neck, impaling it with five of the acuted syringes and transfusing the entirety of the yellow liquids until it became empty. Hence, the glistening side effect triggered as the yellowish aura shone through the whole gigantic body of the Yxelzon.

The beaming crimson blast dispersed into specks of blood-red dust when tackling the front side of the shielding-fiery barrier due to Yxelzon feeling its propelled hand paralyzed. The side effect of the chemical even froze the entire motion of the sky scrapping the brighter glistening light illuminating.

"Sparror since the monster is already temporarily frozen, would you give your watch?" Chemistra in an alerting hurriedness released a stoic question.

A little fiery torch resurfaced once more and spread a blissful remark by flickering the construct, "Even you already becoming robot…you never really change. Especially committing a rushing act that sometimes injured you badly, Chemistra."

"As long as it's effective on clearing the mission, I wouldn't mind receiving any kind of damage," Chemistra argued, raising her stoic voice.

Sparror tapped the tiny blue button on the bottom of the white watch and neon-azure shone in brief seconds before it dispatched from his wrist, neatly landing on his anticipative palm. He tossed up the watch that swiftly caught within the grip of Chemistra's bulky gauntlet, encouraging her to patch it on her other wrists.

The harrowing roar of Yxelzon resonated through Sparror's acuted hearing and he heedfully placed his stare toward the front view. A front view revealed the encircling violet wave materialized and extended across the scenery from upside down, revolving his molten hand to the left as the expansion of the wave on the brink of touching the barrier.

The bubble construct alongside the heroes vastly vanished once again from the naked eyes, respawning beside the right of the sky-scrapping Humanoid's head. Their surprised eyes caught the glimpse of the glistening yellow aura dissolved in an instant, especially with Yxelzon's forehead rapidly dimming out the light within the face-motif crystal.

"Akushijo, use your elusive stealth power right now!" Agano commanded, drawing the newest paper card on his left grip, "And shatter the crystal on the forehead."

Akushijo reluctantly nodded and uttered, "Sure why not, Old man Onmyouji."

"Also I'm very sure my stealth couldn't be touched by the freaking nullifying crystal." Akushijo assumed, shaking his head, "Hope so."

The Grass Ninja heaved his neon Katana in a horizontal position and encouraged The Onmyouji to toss his newest paper card with the black-inked Kanji said, "Double", latching on to the glittering blade. Receiving the patch of the paper card, ignited the spirit of Akushijo to leap out from the fiery bubble, blinking out his physical presence after a sudden, shrouding green aura disseminated his entire body.

Yxelzon in smoldering frustration growled the shrieking elephant roar across the sky scenery before plunging the tainted crimson fist onto the bubble. Blazing emancipation stung through Sparror's gleaming eyes especially when the wild furnace folded all of them. He resiliently perceived the gigantic fist and tightened the grip of his molten fists that began to flaring torches on the knuckle.

"Krah!!!" Sparror shouted the contorting grunt as he mashed the molten knuckles altogether.

A combustible and blinding explosion wave of flames unbound from the fiery bubble, harmlessly incinerating Sparror alongside the other two heroes as no noise of pain echoed. Nevertheless, their physical presence dusted away and the explosion wave wedged Yxelzon on the elongated snake body, bouncing it away.

As the sky scrapped trying to cross both of his arms after witnessing another disappearance of the heroes, an enlarging ring of blaze manifested and encircled the wolf-headed part below. A wolf-headed itself dropped its jaw and omitted the gusting smokes, trying blending their elastic as most of them popped out an agonizing human head.

The ring of blaze precipitously ascended the sky reaching, a scorching wave and sealed Yxelzon inside it, channeling the relentless burning torment as the humanoid forcibly growl. Every smoke that was gusted out evaporated in split seconds the longer the humanoid endured and even felt the increase of the heat with the molten surface going brighter like a sun itself.

Furthermore, Sparror resiliently upraised his molten grip to let see the sky scenery and ensnared the dancing torch within his fingers. Behind him, Agano and Chemistra who positioned both of her fists closer to one another cautiously darted their observative gaze at the Yxelzon who kept being trapped with the seemingly endless, burning torment. A shimmering realization shone through The Onmyouji's with him briefly gasping.

"So this is only the distraction, right?" Agano guessed, lifting his scanning sight to the very above and catching the glimpse of the purplish flashes brightly emerging, touching the morning clouds in the surrounding.

Sparror assertively nodded and spawned the levitating fiery torch beside his left as he blurted out a remark, "Also, Chemistra, I guess it's better you did your detector trick after Akushijo shatter the crystal on the forehead."

"Noted," Chemistra replied briskly, lowering both of her hands.

The abrasive purplish circle widely spread from the shimmering human-faced gem latching on the Yxelzon before it vanished in thin air. The blessing of the circle would soon be fulfilled with the sky scrapping humanoid smoothly plunging forward both of its arms, wiping away the heftiness from the burning torment.

Yxelzon in galvanic demeanor roared the mangling elephant-like growl throughout the beach scenery especially when the towering fiery wave dispersed in split seconds. Hence, the sky-scrapping humanoid could reach the fluent motions once again as it briskly rubbed both gigantic hands.

While Akushijo who remained inside the jade cloaking dimension and hovering down on the cloud above breathed out a sigh of relief. Triggering the realization the violet circle didn't nullify his stealth form, The Grass Ninja kicked back the air on the back and hurled up the neon green Katana when his falling body touched the direct distance of the crystalized forehead.

'It's lucky, this freak of nature monster didn't notice, my trick,' Akushijo mumbled within his mind, grasping the sense of soothing gladness.'Which is I'm freaking gladful as I can land this slash

The Grass Ninja vastly dashed out from the cloaking dimension, bringing his physical body to be seen by the Yxelzon who screeched in enraged. Regardless, Akushijo promptly swung down his neon-blade Katana and the single concise slash landed on the human-faced crystal, vaporizing the paper card on the blade into scattering dust.

"No more nullifying tricks, Monster!!!" Akushijo muttered, raising his affirmative marking finger as he withdrew his neon-blade Katana.

Thus, the enlarged cracking line transpired through the crystal patching on the forehead. It even vivaciously called forth the widespread cracking lines on folding the crystal and forcibly peeled off into unorganized scattering pieces raining down the sea below.

A high-pitch dreaded elephant-like scream roared out from Yxelzon and unsteadily shook his head in infuriating pain. In the nick of time, a blazing cloth enveloped Akushijo's falling body and burnt him into complete untraceable ashes.

Moreover, The Grass Ninja regained his physical body once again by the human-sized, fiery twister spawned beside Agano and vanished faster than the seconds. A golden opportunity within this situation was obtained by The Chemist as she hoisted both of her hands and illuminated glittering bluish sparks through the two watches, tightly bound with her wrists.

"Commencing the enhanced detector wave!" Chemistra firmly ordered as she crossed both of her wrists, forming a glittering neon-blue X symbol acting.

The X symbol immediately fled off from the watches and flung precisely onto the above-left spot. A hiding spot belonging to The Phantom himself as he stood excitedly within the realm filled with only lavender mist and several mystifying screens on the front, showing the live video of the ongoing morning show.

Flashes of blue light from beneath the feet of Frenzy Cloverland rapidly increased the illuminating brightness, luring him to glance down shortly. Then, The Phantom steered his stare on his left forehand that embarked the enlightened violet tattoo, containing artwork of Yxelzon itself.

"Quite amazing that the heroes already built a tech that not only detects my wonderful presence, but it even potentially brought me back here!!!" Frenzy Cloverland spoke out loudly, in bombarding thrill encroaching his mind. "Amazing, Amazing, Amazing, Amazing!!!
