Chapter 159: Breaking One's Defenses
"Hell Shockwave!" The Master of Horror's yelled as he stomped his large foot against the pristine floor.
With a loud rumble, the entire palace shook as if it underwent an earthquake, many regions near and bear collapsed due to this power throwing all into a disorder.
As the entire palace shook, the royal chamber seemed as if it was undergoing a disaster. The floor uprooted itself, forcing everyone behind Nero, Mia, Red Rain, and Lily to lose their balance. In response to this change, Elly and the others didn't show any panic; instead, they jumped into the air.
By this time, each of their attacks had practically arrived upon the Master of Horrors, his body, which was now coated by his immense dark-colored magic power soon after tensed as he lifted his arm, prepared to meet them directly.
The first attack to arrive was none other than that of Crazy's Blade's illusory shark that swam through the air as if it were in the ocean. It opened its giant mouth, which was roughly half the size of the Master of Horrors body, before biting down with its razor-sharp teeth, each emanating baleful energy much like that of a blade's.
"A mere illusory power is not compared to a tangible being, break!"
Following the Master of Horrors shout, he waved his arm, using his long black fingernails to shatter the attack into fragments of energy.
Seconds after destroying Crazy Blade's attack, Elly's Spiraling Blossom Sword had arrived, gushing forward like a cyclone of ultra-sharp sword beams condensed into the form of petals.
With a simple snort, the Master of Horrors used the same arm that shattered the previous attack and pressed it in front of his figureopening his palm, a black ball then formed before his figure, which crashed into Elly's attack, generating an explosion.
As if the force of this explosion was too great, Ivy's whip attack that had followed right behind Elly's was repelled by its shockwave, forcing the whip's end back to Ivy's position.
Mikan also shared a similar fate, as the opposing force shattered his toxic palm into bits.
"Damn! He's too strong!" Crazy Blade cursed, but as he knew that they didn't have any other choice, he could only try to press the attack, jumping from left to right on the uprooted concrete as he hurried towards him.

Thunder's Daughter also had a surprised look in her eyes, but that didn't halt her from conjuring another lightning attack from a distance, hurling thunderbolts like a being born of lightning.
"Keep pressing him; he shouldn't be able to keep this up!"
Elly said from Ivy and Mikan's side; the brother and sister nodded as they once more attacked, following up with Elly's new sword slash.
The Master of Horror's caught sight of this. His eyes glowed in a bright red light once more as he spoke, "Fall to your knees, Hell Pulse!"
With his words, a bright ripple spread out once more, but for some reason, it only zoned in on Elly, Crazy Blade, Thunder's Daughter, as well as Ivy and Mikan.
As it crashed into their bodies, they each cried out in pain before falling from the sky, crashing into the ruined ground with a weakened expressions on their faces.
As the attack finished, the Master of Horror's expression soon changed as black blood flowed down his mouth corner's; he promptly waved his hand, causing a black ball to form over his body.
"Damn! That bastard... how dare he hurt Elly?' Nero thought as his eyes flickered with rage, there weren't many thing's that could let him get angry, but that had passed his bottom line.
"Focus... he was influenced by his own power; you must strike him to gain an advantage," Adult Nero said, feeling the mindless rage from his younger self's spirit, even he found it hard to put down the scene of Elly spitting blood, but he knew this wasn't the time to get distracted.
Nero bit his lips, causing blood to flow down his mouth corners before keeping a cool head; he didn't do anything foolish like turning around from his current charge.
Soon, Nero, Mia, Red Rain, and Lily had gotten in range of the black barrier. They gazed at it while continuing to rush forwards as they made a plan.
"Listen here; I can sense that he's suffered some backlash. If I can land a hit on him, then I can inflict a serious injury to his frame with my scythe's properties."
Nero said to the three girls through their messaging system, explaining the properties of Grezelor's Scythe. The girls remained silent for a short moment as they answered.
"Okay, if you can guarantee that effect, then my Origin Fate Runes should be able to drastically weakened the shield; it doesn't matter how strong it is, I will be able to force open its weak point." Red Rain said as her body glowed with her mystical runes.
Mia looked at the two before she spoke, "Alright, you've both got your roles down, leave breaking the shield to me; I have the strongest power out of everyone here."
As Mia said this, her plump fox tail started to shine in a bright amber-colored light, which soon began to spread over her entire body.
Lily stared at everyone and hesitated before speaking, "I'm not as strong as you guys, but I can keep him distracted."
When the others heard this, they nodded as if confirming each other's actions, though their discission sounded long, it didn't even take up five seconds as, by the time they finished their conversation, they took direct action.
"Fortune Rain Seal!"
Red Rain yelled as she stopped her charge and held her arm forward, forming a giant diagram with complex marks. These marks then fired towards the black barrier before flowing down its surface no different from rain droplets. Once this happened, these seals began to bury themselves within the black barrier before emanating a strange kind of power.
The Master of horrors who saw this from behind his black barrier frowned as he thought to himself, 'How troubling, that kind's techniques are always hard to deal with, tsk... to think I wanted to buy some time to heal from the backlash of using such a meager amount of my abilities.'
While the Master of Horror's pondered a different method, the barrier before him started to change as Red Rain's runes formed a circular mark in a particular area.
"Now!" Red Rain said as Mia didn't even hesitate to blast forward like a beast, her beautiful figure now a bit strange as she glowed in an amber-ish light. Vaguely, the illusory image of a fox had appeared behind her and roared when she struck her palm towards the circular mark.
"Spirit Fox Fire!"
With her shout, a massive clump of amber fire fired from her palm into the black wall before exploding into a sea of amber flames. The shockwave of this attack knocked back both the nearby Red Rain and Mia, but Nero pushed through with an unstoppable power as Lily seemed to have vanished.
Nero's red eyes shone in a cold light, very much lie his scythe, which was held at an angle at his side. With his body clouded by his silver magic power, his steps got faster and faster as he dashed ahead at a speed over 160 km/h.
A few seconds later, Nero had pushed through the flames appearing directly before giant form, his body twisting as its edge startling to leaving a thin, blood-red light in the void as he spoke with an icy voice.
"I'll send you to hell with my Blood Reaper's Dance!"
Instantly, Nero's body vanished as all that was left was a dazzling ray of baleful red lights many times the usual standard, sweeping towards the neck of the Master of Horror's who glared at it with a surprised but icy look.
The scene here seemed as if it was about to reach its climax as a young hero prepared to clash head-on against what might very be a demon.
