Zalroth smacked a purple fireball away before landing on a floating magic barrier and swiftly surfed on it as he twirled his Crescent Moon Staff in his right hand. Zalroth readied himself as the fireballs and plasma bombs began to arc towards him. Zalroth stopped twirling his staff and crossed his arms to his right as the Crescent Moon Staff began to glow.

Zalroth slashed his staff through Kyubi's attacks like it were a sword and the mana projectiles were seemingly nullified; the remains of the mana projectiles swirled around the Crescent Moon Staff before being absorbed into it. Zalroth confidently twirled his staff between his fingers again before being startled when Chronia lightly bit and sucked on his shoulder.

"Mind telling me why you're attacking my shoulder?" Zalroth asked as Chronia mumbled about how it's something that she saw demi-human couples do. Zalroth remarked that they probably don't do it for the reason she thinks they do. Chronia made a hah noise before stating that she even saw a pack of dire wolves doing it. Zalroth rolled his eyes as he held his staff like a bat before batting away a fireball.

"Are you ever going to use that staff as, you know, a staff?" Chronia telepathically asked as she continued to suck on Zalroth's shoulder. Zalroth slashed another plasma bomb with the Crescent Moon Staff while he mentioned it's easier to just physically hit the staff against magic instead of sending out magic sponges. Chronia huffed and muttered something under her breath as she closed her eyes.

"If this was a tv show you saying that would definitely increase the age rating, and I knew that shoulder biting wasn't as innocent as you tried to make it out to be," Zalroth stated as he flicked Chronia's forehead, which made Chronia's eyebrows rise for a second. Zalroth slashed another cluster of fireballs and realised one of Kyubi's hydra heads was charging up a plasma bomb that became so dense that it started to draw in parts of the hydra's jaw.

The plasma bomb rapidly condensed even further before the hydra-head blasted a supercharged plasma beam from the plasma bomb. Zaloth wondered if he should use one of the staff's magic reflection abilities but was cut off by Chronia telling him that wouldn't be a good idea as she froze time. Zalroth rolled his eyes and remarked that Chronia just wanted him to use the staff's Shadow Realm ability.

"Duh," Chronia smugly said before she instantly undid her time stop. Zalroth swiftly spun his Crescent Moon Staff between his fingers before slamming the base of the staff into the floating magic barrier; the Crescent Moon Staff emanated a dark lavender and black aura while a small dot, matching the dark aura, formed in front of Zalroth. The plasma beam rocketed through the air as Chronia giddily anticipated what was about to happen.

The plasma beam raced in front of Zalroth and he jumped into the air right before the plasma beam made contact with the shadow realm dot; the dot rapidly expanded and sucked in the plasma beam in an instant, before just as quickly disappearing. Chronia smugly hummed as Kyubi's hydra heads perplexedly looked at each other with befuddled looks on their faces.

"Didn't see that coming did you," Chronia muffledly said as she continued to naw on Zalroth's shoulder. Kyubi's hydra heads howled extremely loudly that it caused all the people in the cavern to cover their ears. The hydra heads continued to let out ear-shattering howls before one of the hydra heads was obliterated by a speed-blitzing lightning snake, which caused all the other hydra heads to go silent as the obliterated head regenerated.

"Ffush, they just had to howl when I enhanced my hearing," Zalroth complained as the small cyan sparks around his free hand before he itched the inside of his ears. Kyubi's hydra heads raised themselves up high and fired a barrage of fireballs and plasma bombs. Zalroth slashed through the hydra head's magic projectiles before encasing his free arm in lightning mana and aiming it at the incoming projectiles. Zalroth unleashed a swarm of lightning mana snakes and blasted the hydra head's attacks away.

"Say Zuno are you done charging yet?" Chronia asked as she looked behind her while Zalroth was holding the hydra head's attacks at bay. Zuno opened his purple eyes and stated he was just about done; Zuno spun the Hakai-No-Michi in the air and caught it in his left hand before the R.R.R gathered around Zuno's body. Zuno absorbed the R.R.R's energy before light dashing while continuing to enhance his body with chakra.

Zalroth sensed Zuno was rapidly approaching and increased the intensity of his lightning mana snakes. The lightning snakes ripped through Kyubi's attacks and struck the hydra-heads. The hydra heads quickly regenerated as Zuno raced past Zalroth and Chronia. One of the hydra heads blasted a plasma beam at Zuno but was blocked by a magic barrier created by Zalroth.

The magic barrier pushed against the plasma beam before slamming against the hydra's face, causing the barrier to shatter and making the hydra-head stop its plasma beam. Zuno pulled his katana behind himself and narrowed his vision.

"Third Form: Celestial Horizons,". Zuno, while purple magic energy trailed behind the blade, hurled his katana and in the blink of an eye effortlessly sliced through all of the hydra heads' necks and left glowing dark purple scars on the ends of the necks. Zuno continued the momentum from Celestial Horizons and spun around until he held his katana over his head.

"Fourth Form...," Zuno swung the katana downwards and began to raise it again in the opposite direction.

"Ascending Angel!" Zuno shouted as he was about to slash his katana upwards; however, right before he could commit to the slash, a slime tendril shot out from Kyubi's body and Zuno quickly evaded the attack as he tried to do a perfectly vertical upwards slash although it ended up being two° off. Kyubi's body slime body remained motionless before the destruction energy slash across their body exploded and destroyed half of it as the hydra heads faded away.

Kyubi's body flailed and wobbled about and violently shot out hundreds of large slime tendrils that sped for Zuno but before they could even get close to him time froze. Zuno and Zalroth quickly parkoured away from Kyubi before landing on a floating magic barrier, that was slightly larger than the others. Time resumed and the trio watched Kyubi flail about, and indiscriminately slammed its body against anything close to it causing rubble from the ceiling to drop to the ground. As Zuno observed Kyubi something caught his attention when he noticed new hydra heads weren't forming.

"I bet you're wondering why the heathian isn't regenerating the heads am I right?" Chronia smugly asked. Zuno nodded his head and Chronia explained that when he uses destruction mana to destroy things it doesn't just destroy it physically but also its spiritual body and even its tangental body if he mixes it with her temporal mana.

"I see...," Zuno said with a slightly surprised tone which made Chronia smugly smirk before instantly having her ego bruised when Zalroth mentioned she only knows that because the first god of destruction figured it out since he was the one who figured it out. Chronia embarrassedly bopped Zalroth on the spot of his shoulder that she was biting and made Zalroth rigidly flinch.

The ground began to quiver before thousands of red, black and pink judgement chains bursted forth from the earth; the chains wrapped themselves around and ensnared Kyubi which caused all their movements to cease before all the slime tendrils slumped to the ground. Zalroth thanked Zalkutaro, Kunai and Xelphia for the assistance as they were all linked together with mana tethers and restraining Kyubi with the judgement chains. Zalroth mentioned that Kunai and Xelphia probably wouldn't be able to hold the chains for long before Zuno said he wouldn't miss this time as he got into his Heaven's Vanguard stance.

Zalroth stood idly by as Zuno focused more destruction mana into the Hakai-No-Michi before lunging so fast that Chronia joked it almost looked like Zuno had time acceleration on him. Zalroth was about to respond to Chronia's joke but suddenly felt a foreign flood of emotion smash into his head like a train. Zalroth's brain was kicked into overdrive making everything around him look like it was moving in slow motion, apart from Zuno who looked like he was moving at normal speed; Zalroth frantically rattled his brain as tried to figure out where he sensed such strong emotions from. Zalroth's brain was turning up a blank as his body appeared to go into an astral projection-looking state when he tried to focus harder.

"Mr Kukou's going to be so upset if I die here... after only just being resureccted," a timid girlly kid voice said in Zalroth's head and made him realize where the emotion he sensed came from. Zalroth darted his head at Kyubi and activated his perception-enhancing magic. Zalroth focused his vision in on Kyubi's body and frantically looked until he spotted their spikey mana core.

Zalroth's eyes widened when he saw a small humanoid figure inside the mana core as red energy slithered around the mana core. Zalroth quickly made one of his eyes' iris' flash a pale teal, cyan and green before his eyes reverted back to normal, with a panicked expression. Zalroth tried to shout out to Zuno to stop but Zalroth realised Zuno was moving too fast to be able to stop himself even if he attempted to now.

"Damn it, Chronia's going to give me an earful for this," Zalroth mentally remarked as he tightly grasped the Crescent Moon Staff and ramped up his Lightning Amp to full power. Zalroth pulled his arm back before breaking the sound barrier when he hurled the Crescent Moon Staff slightly to the left of Zuno.

Chronia confusedly looked at Zalroth but after her eyes' clock hands spun around she became both visibly angry and annoyed at what her future vision had shown her. Chronia's annoyance became even more apparent when Zalroth entered his Sage mode before his hair/fur stopped glowing and became pale cyan while his eyes glowed pale cyan.

"And now you're using you're Mastered S-," Chronia managed to say before Zalroth blasted off from the magic barrier at such a speed the duo looked like they were warping through space.

Zuno pierced through the air and kept his eyes trained on Kyubi's mana core; however, as he drew closer to Kyubi he could vaguely make out the humanoid shape inside the mana core. Zuno wondered if the thing inside the mana core was a person and was being used to power up the slime heathian. Zuno's focus was distracted by the Crescent Moon Staff soaring past him before Zalroth suddenly appeared in front of him and grabbed the staff. Zuno tried to halt his movements as Zalroth braced himself to block the Hakai-No-Michi with the glowing Crescent Moon Staff.

In the millisecond the weapons classed, a massive amount of extremely condensed mana exploded; while the mana never became bigger than three inches; the intensity of the mana shot out an ungodly powerful sea of shockwaves that ripped through the army of golems and easily shredded through them while Sophia and the others braced themselves for the incoming shimmering shockwaves.
