Erste woke up from his dream-like state and noticed that his companions had surrounded him creating a wall to protect him. Every member now had multiple wounds on their bodies and their mana had weakened greatly.
"You're finally awake sleeping beauty." Frieda who was breathing heavily smiled as he looked at Erste.
"Hmph, I don't know who you were talking with but it had better be f*cking important." Blod who had the most wounds complained.
"Sorry I just had a chat with an old friend, and she told me how to defeat this Ancient One."
They were all communicating using telepathy so that the Ancient One could not listen to their conversation.
"Alright, so you want to try and change the plan from distraction to killing? I don't know who you talked to but you better be sure that whatever information you got is accurate." Tenma warned Erste.
"Trust me, I will kill Death itself and fulfill my promise. So how long before the others take the heart of the Mother of all Dragons?"
"The heart is hidden in a pocket dimension hidden within this universe, Skatt is already prying it open but it might take a while. Also, I'm sure that Death might have noticed what they're doing already."
"Then we need to create a bigger ruckus to get most of Death's attention, as for how to kill him I'll do it myself so don't worry about that."
That vicious smile on Erste's face appeared as the power emanating from his body was released outwards causing the very space he was in to fluctuate.
"Well, this is interesting, unlike the others it seems that you are a real threat to me." Death appeared with a scythe at hand, and unlike the hazy form before this one looked a little more complete, also unlike the other forms of Death this one felt more powerful than the others.
"Come on Death come and play with me!"
Death's clone had a scythe at hand, but it didn't have the same effect as the one held by the original. Now with a scythe at hand Death swung at Skatt, but the attack was intercepted by Jonathan who used a new technique that increased his muscle mass to the maximum making him grow into a giant.
Even though he was still smaller than the clone of Death he was able to successfully stop the attack and grabbed hold of the scythe.
The other generals used this chance to initiate an attack, but as soon as they got close they felt something eroding their very souls, it wasn't a problem for now, but they knew the longer they stayed close to Death the more their souls would be eroded and they were not sure what will happen if their souls are fully eroded.
Still, the generals did not stop and continued their assault on Death, but despite using their most powerful attacks while enveloping their weapons with power from the sea of chaos, they were not able to do any significant damage to Death.
Jonathan could no longer hold onto the scythe and was pushed away by Death, and now there was a huge wound on Jonathan's chest. If it was any other general they would have died from that wound, but Jonathan's prided muscles were able to diminish the damage he took.
Still, all that did was delay his death, Jonathan could already feel that he was nearing his end and he could not stop the blood from flowing out of his body, so he used every last bit of strength he could gather and charged at Death while roaring.
Death once again slashed at Jonathan, but the other party did not block or evade instead he took the hit and continued charging at Death. Jonathan tackled Death and stuck to Death without letting go as he gathered all the power he had and focused it on his core.
"It was an honor to have fought with all of you, may our glorious rebellion succeed!" With one last shout, Jonathan exploded with a power great enough to destroy an entire galaxy but concentrated into one single area.
The generals quickly used every means they had to defend themselves and Skatt from the explosion. It was a good thing that Jonathan pushed Death farther away if they were closer to them it would have been difficult to fully defend themselves.
Seeing that one of them just died the remaining generals had no time to mourn as they were not sure if that explosion was able to defeat the clone of Death. Schlau who was looking at his surroundings shouted at Sayaka.
"DODGE!"
Sayaka who heard Schlau's command was about to dodge but it was too late, the blade of the scythe had pierced her abdomen. Death's clone had survived the explosion and had successfully sneaked behind Sayaka.
