Chapter 283: Seraphim’s Match-Ups, Control and Real One
_________ POV Narration _________
The battle raged on, as the Golden Lion clashed with the Seraphims in tandem with those that had followed him.
The first to strike was, of course, Shiki, sending a gigantic earth spike towards the place where the Seraphims stood.
Reacting on instinct, they all scattered to different sides, as Shiki's spike entered the ground, the controlled dirt mixed and intermingled with the uncontrolled ground.
A sonic boom could be heard as Shiki broke the sound barrier and whizzed past one of the Seraphims, delivering a cut to its torso large enough to spill out guts.
Or it would have been so were it not for the Lunarian blood that all of the Seraphims had inherited.
Instead, the slash only left a clear red line on the torso of the teen Xebec clone. A cut that closed up just as quickly as it opened up.
"Tsk, damned Lunarians and their stupidly tough bodies." Shiki scowled as he manoeuvred his body in mid-air, dodging to the side as two other Seraphs stabbed their blades into his previous location, the earth quaking and fragmenting underneath them.
Meanwhile, Momonga, the one-handed former Vice Admiral had already singled out one of the Seraphims.
'This should be a good enough test of my abilities...'
He unsheathed his blade and immediately rushed towards the Xebec clone, clashing with it as sparks flew in all directions.
In an instant, blue flames appeared on the clone's blade, but before it could do any harm, Momonga broke the clash, delivering a devastating kick to the neck and sending his opponent flying further away, before dashing towards it in hot pursuit.
Oven had also crashlanded on the battlefield, his gigantic fist pressing down on one of the clones as the atmosphere around him heated up to sickening degrees.
It was so hot that the blue flames which had emerged from the Seraph he was suppressing didn't even leave a mark on him, as the ground around them bubbled and turned to magma.
The clone seemed to be able to resist the heat too, and it would have attempted to slash at Oven's body had the Sweet Commander not grown a long blade out of his prosthetic knee and slashed at the Seraph's arm.
The slash didn't leave any marks, but it did manage to push the blade away.
It was at that point that Oven scowled, his metallic hand immediately shifted to reveal a large cannon which he pointed at the clone's chest at point-blank range.
*BOOM* A resounding explosion was heard, as the Seraph was turned into a ragdoll and thrown off, with slight burns all over its body.
Oven's eyes glistened with glee as he dashed towards it once more.
The other Seraphs did attempt to work together, and one was attempting to reach and assist the one dealing with Momonga, but it was scooped off by a gigantic black mace which, had appeared in front of it in an instant.
The one that had stopped it was none other than Katakuri, teleported in by none other than Law, who was somewhat tasked with overseeing a lot of the battlefield.
"Buzz Cut Mochi..." Thanks to the quick teleportation, Katakuri was able to easily land a killing blow in one fell swoop.
Well, against any other opponent, it would have been a serious blow for sure, but the Seraphim were made to be annoyingly resilient.
Thankfully, the gigantic arm-turned-dough mace was not only powerful, but it was also sticky. The dough ended up restraining the Xebec clone.
In an instant, all of the Elders still within the Holy Land rushed out of it, with their opponents in hot pursuit.
They couldn't prevent Shiki from controlling it, but they weren't about to continue their fights within his territory.
In an instant, the entire Holy Land shifted, as parts of it broke off and took to the skies, including parts that the two Seraphs Shiki fought were on.
The two clones were pressed onto the dirt they had just stepped on, as they went upwards at breakneck speeds.
"Golden Lion's Dominion..."
The clones were immediately trapped within the gigantic haki-enhanced sculpture of a lion's head, more specifically within the mouth of said dark lion.
Flames quickly spewed out between the lion's teeth, as the two Seraphs were doing their best to blow their way out of there, but Shiki wasn't letting them do as they pleased.
"Compress!"
In an instant, the gigantic lion's head started shrinking, becoming smaller and smaller as the dirt became more and more compact and sturdier.
In the end, the lion head became the size of a few buildings put together, instead of half an island.
'That should hold them there for a bit...' Shiki's gaze then turned towards the last Seraphim, which had yet to act.
'That's strange... Pretty sure the Elders gave them all the instructions to help... Why is that one just standing there blankly?'
Shiki tilted his head, his long golden locks swaying to the side as he slowly hovered over to that clone.
What stopped him was the realization that Francisco was also heading for that specific clone.
The old man's eyes widened, as he came to a realization.
'Don't tell me... That's actually Xebec?'
