After that, Ebelasque, who had been sniffling, finally came to her senses.

She had felt like she was about to go on a rampage, denying reality, but then she glanced at Kraush and sighed.

“Are you stupid? You think just because you’re here, I won’t feel lonely?”

What a slap in the face after trying to comfort her!

Kraush looked at her with a blank expression, while Ebelasque blew her nose loudly.

Then she shot him a sidelong glance and began to pout.

She couldn’t ignore what he had said.

“Well, if you’re feeling lonely, I guess I can stick around a bit. It’ll be tough if you get immortality and all that!”

“Oh, how thoughtful of you.”

Kraush made a bored expression and pointed below.

“First, can we stop that over there?”

Below, Haring and Sena were still fighting through the White Skeleton Legion.

So Ebelasque sheepishly raised her hand and said, “...But if I do that, I’ll betray Ixion. They’ll probably seek revenge, you know.”

Her face showed a hint of concern.

Ixion, the group of World Eroding beings, was a threat to the world itself.

Thinking they could become a target made her genuinely nervous.

“If you’re scared of revenge, don’t worry.”

Kraush scolded her for talking nonsense.

“They’re all dead anyway, so it’s not like it matters.”

With his blatant declaration, Ebelasque looked at him with wide eyes.

She didn’t even think about denying his words.

She knew just how dangerous he was.

“...So why am I being treated specially?”

Ebelasque asked, fiddling with her hair, which still held a bit of Kraush’s warmth.

Kraush had persuaded her to leave Ixion, promising to keep her company until her eyes closed for good.

Those words kept circling in Ebelasque’s mind, making her squirm.

[It’s a crazy world.]

Then, the Crimson Garden let out a loud tongue-clicking noise.

With the White Skeleton Legion finally stopping, Ebelasque glanced at Haring and Sena climbing the mountain and realized something.

“Just think of it as a past life connection.”

“Wait, you believe in fate now?”

“I’m more of a skeptic. If we go by fate, this world will be doomed in no time.”

Kraush turned back to Ebelasque, urging her to stop with the terrible thoughts.

She jumped in surprise and turned her head away.

Kraush, confused by her reaction, suddenly heard a loud rumbling noise from beyond the mountain.

It was proof that the battle between Aliod and Lai was heating up.

That meant the power of World Erosion must have also become stronger.

They had to act quickly before the situation worsened.

“By the way, Ebelasque, you did come up with a way to enter the Blood Sky World, didn’t you?”

At that moment, Ebelasque froze.

Seeing her strange reaction, Kraush raised an eyebrow.

Ebelasque, looking panicked, stammered, “Well, I did set it up originally? But everything got obliterated from the inside...”

She seemed to ramble, sinking her head as if embarrassed.

“It... it got erased...”

Kraush let out a frustrated sigh.

It wasn’t like she hadn’t prepared, but it was completely annihilated, so he had nothing to say.

“Guess we just have to punch through it.”

Kraush resolved himself with an air of determination.

He was used to situations never going smoothly.

Taking advantage of that opening, Aliod imbued his Blood Scythe with a surge of crimson energy.

Swoosh!

With a twisting sound, Aliod felt the weight of blood gushing out from his body flood toward his Blood Scythe.

Yet even so, Aliod’s arm remained intact.

Instead, it tore through skin and muscle, leaving bones barely hanging.

Aliod’s red eyes widened.

Thanks to his enhanced Blood Scythe, he was more powerful than a World Erosive creature.

Naturally, he wouldn’t be injured from any run-of-the-mill assault, yet his arm was in this state.

Before him stood two figures.

A boy, with an expression as if he had swallowed something sour, positioned himself, powerfully swinging his sword covered in black flames, while behind him was a girl with short, mixed black and purple hair.

Their fluttering hair and clothing indicated that they had descended from above.

In that moment, the boy kicked off the ground.

With that, he bolted toward Aliod at a speed so explosive it momentarily distracted him.

He was quick.

And he was dangerous.

If he could strike at any time, this boy was the greatest threat here.

The aura he emitted was distinguishably that of a World Eroder.

Upon realizing that, Aliod’s killing intent surged.

He couldn’t figure out why Ebelasque suddenly betrayed him.

All his senses were now solely focused on this boy.

In fact, he even forgot about Lai momentarily.

Fwoosh!

The wrath and murderous intent pouring from Aliod slammed into Kraush’s face.

Kraush felt it even through his focus.

‘Just like always, he’s a monster.’

His hair stood on end, and the overwhelming pressure swirled around, shaking his vision.

His instincts warned him to run away from here, screaming at him to flee.

As expected, he was strong.

Even after activating Annihilation Erosion, he felt inadequate to face a World Eroder.

Yet he wasn’t alone.

Kraush’s goal at this moment was to draw Aliod’s attention entirely on himself.

Thanks to the threat Aliod felt from the state of his ripped arm, he had accomplished that goal.

Someone faster than Kraush had already closed in on Aliod from behind.

Soft, white wings fluttered.

Sena had activated her Hyper Speed.

This Sena could easily outpace even Kraush’s Thunder Prime in this state.

As she soared with the wings spread wide, the fabric swirling beneath her transformed into insidious needles aimed to pierce through Aliod.

Aliod realized too late what was happening.

After focusing all his attention on Kraush, he couldn’t react in time.

Thud, thud!

“Ugh!?”

Even in that moment, he barely twisted his body to dodge the fatal strike, but the fabric had pierced through his sides, creating multiple puncture wounds.

With his movement restrained, Kraush charged towards him.

His Rain Thunder Prime blazed crimson.

As seven celestial symbols adorned with darkness enveloped him, they released a burst of vibrant light.

When the blood-red moon rose above, Kraush’s mind surged with waves of black flames.

Annihilation Erosion.

Fifth Style!

Destruction of Heaven, Moon, and Fire!

Under the blood-red moon, the black flame storm swept through the shattered Blood Sky World.
