Kuro showed off the real power within him! He was in fact, a Time Attribute Demigod!
His eyes were not truly just the power of stopping time in a target through a Time Bubble!
His eyes were actually…
"I'll reveal it to you because your might has surprised me. My eyes are not related to my time magic. They're named Evil Eyes of Instant Conjuration. I only require a simple command and I can conjure any spell within my repertoire without the need to chant or create magic circles." Said Kuro, surprising Gwendolyn!
Evil Eyes of Instant Conjuration! With such power, Kuro was more than capable of doing what he was doing now. He was conjuring incredibly complex Spells that would take almost a minute to chant in less than a second!
In a way, it was like the power that the Skill Chant Negation brought to Gwendolyn and the others through the System, but it was even better because it belonged to Kuro's body, and Gwendolyn easily noticed that it even canceled the necessity of magic circles, something that still made their spells take some time.
"This is why you can conjure spells like those in an instant…!" said Gwendolyn.
"And this is how I will defeat you." Said Kuro, his eyes flashed with bright dark light, as his pupils showed a bright red actogram, the sign of these Evil Eyes being those of Instant Conjuration!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Kuro's tentacles continued to attack Gwendolyn consecutively, her entire body was being hit as she tried to evade but could not, and when she defended, her magic shields were easily broken by Kuro's blasts of darkness coming from Shoggoth's powers!
And to boot, he was using his Time Attribute Magic to slow her down to his limits, while he was accelerating his own speed!
One of his greatest weaknesses was how feeble and slow he was. However, through his time magic, he was able to easily negate this weakness by slowing down his enemies or outright stopping them form moving within a Time Bubble!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Gwendolyn, however, didn't gave in! She couldn't give in!
Her utmost fiery power awakened once more. As her Rank 10 Fire Attribute Mana Core flashed with incredible blazing essence. Her divinity of fire and her own conviction and determination blazed like an explosion of flames, coming form her very heart, she overcharged her entire body with all her might, rushing towards Kuro!
"RRAAAAA!"
"Oh?!"
CLAAAAAASSSH!
Gwendolyn generated a gigantic domain of flames, overpowering Kuro's domain of time and making the effects of the domain weaken, which also made the time attribute spells Kuro used weaken as well!
Through this, she rushed towards him with her regained speed, like a blazing gigantic fox, reaching him in an instant, as her enormous jaws began to tear apart his tentacles and destroy his barriers!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
A shower of meteors began to come out of her body, like cataclysmic explosions, the entire audience of the arena was left speechless as they saw such incredible firepower!
"Uaaggh…! STOP!"
Kuro roared as he utilized his strongest spell, wasting large quantities of divine energy, he stopped Gwendolyn on the spot!
TRUUMMM!!!
Gwendolyn gritted her teeth as she was stopped in midair, however!
FLAAASH!
"Huh?!"
A giant blazing blade flew from behind him, reaching up to Kuro!
"What?! When?!"
Gwendolyn smiled! Her Blade, the sword of flames named Vulcan which her husband had gifted to her long ago was still going strong! After she upgraded it using fire attribute materials from her own divine realm, the sword had gained the ability to move independently, but she was saving such a trump card until this very moment!
The sword blazed with flames, roaring as if it had gained life of its own, the explosion of flames coming from its body was so strong and fiery that Kuro was barely able to detect it in time!
CLASH!
When the blade impacted Kuro, it got stuck on his Time Stop Barrier, barely saving himself from such a deadly flying weapon!
Kuro sighed in relief, however!
Crack… Crack…!
"W-What?!"
The blade began to be overwhelmed with power, as it began to crack its blade!
Blazing flames came out of it, as they reached Kuro. And then…!
BOOOOOMMMM!!!
The entire blade exploded!
"W-Whaaaat?!"
Kuro was blown away by the fiery flames, as Shoggoth protected him with his regenerating tentacles, which constantly turned into ashes, weakening his Familiar!
"GRUUOOOHH…!"
"S-Shoggoth!"
BOOM!
Kuro hit the ground as the flames shrouded his body which had just regenerated back from those horrendous burnt wounds, Shoggoth was weakened, and it ended falling unconscious, going back to its Coffin…
Kuro found himself charred in the ground, gasping for air…
He saw the pieces of Gwendolyn's blade across the floor, as Gwendolyn was freed from his spell and fell over the ground, weakened, and tired…
"You… You sacrificed your own blade to defeat me…"
Gwendolyn grabbed the sword's handle, as she looked how the blade was all cracked… however, kit began to slowly grow back, it might take weeks to go back to its original splendor, however.
"Sometimes you have to risk something to win." She sighed, falling over the ground.
"Unnggh… Now please, don't wake up again…" she sighed.
"Ahhh… Ungh… I don't think I can. My bones are shattered." Sighed Kuro, as he looked at Julia's fight.
"KURO… KURO-SAMA!" she cried, as Axitl wouldn't let her get past her!
The overwhelming chaotic darkness continued to grow stronger and stronger, fueled by her divine energy, she began to pounce over Julia and entangle her body, hitting her over and over again into the ground!
But Julia resisted with the might of a titaness, her claymore shone brighter than anything, as tears continued to come out of her eyes.
"I must go assist my lord! STOP!" she roared, fighting back as much as she could.
"I cannot. Everyone is counting on me! Gwendolyn already did her part! I won't let you go heal him!" said Axitl, as her entire body expanded and became even more grotesque and abyssal!
