Floating in the sky but looking like he had been through hell, Uriel flapped his three remaining wings as golden blood gushed from his right arm, or what was left of it. Brance's ambush had destroyed it, leaving only a gaping wound in place of an appendage.

"You fucking mongrel, how dare you!" Uriel snarled as he floated toward the ground and away from the Spatial Tear, which was sealing itself back up.

Yet before his feet even touched the ground, he caught sight of several small milky white objects coming toward him. As they drew near, the Archangel's pupils constricted. He barely had enough time to cover his body with the three remaining golden wings when the ten objects that radiated a large amount of Mana glowed brightly before exploding.

BOOM!

With all ten [White Dwarfs] exploding simultaneously, Brance smirked, got a running start, and pushed off the tower, jumping into the air before he underwent a physical change.

"[Nephilim Mode], [Nephilim Crest]," Brance muttered under his breath as two bright golden-white rings appeared, one above the crown of his head and one at the base of his feet, extending out the entire length of his arm's wingspan. As the rings manifested, they moved in opposite directions toward his stomach as if they were attracting one another.

While the two rings covered his body from top to bottom, Brance began transforming(Think Danny Phantom Going Ghost in reverse). First, his hair lost all color, turning pure white, then his eyes shifted from Violet to Gold, and delicate golden markings in different slash-like shapes spread across his face and down to his shoulders.

However, due to his high-collared plate armor, the only markings that could be seen were on his face. Next, Brance's skin tanned slightly and began radiating in a pale white light. Just before the two rings connected, they flipped and moved away from his body; with their change of direction, a pair of radiant golden glowing feathered Mana Wings erupted from his back, allowing him to take flight.

Completely unaware of the changes to the transformation process due to his increase in the LightBringer Bloodline, Brance flapped his mighty wings several times to pick up speed, but this wasn't the final Transformation to occur by his hands.

Slowly spreading out his arms and holding out the two CS Tears, Brance gripped the handle inside each Shield like a motorcycle throttle, twisted them inward toward his body, and caused a loud clicking noise.

Following the clicking sound, Brance pumped Terra, Light, and Wind Mana into the shields, generating a strange mechanical sound as if hundreds of gears had been kickstarted into motion.

Without breaking eye contact with his target, Brance swung the two shields, as large as his body, into each other, and something new happened; the two shields began combining and changing shape.

Upon making contact with each other, the handles of both shields slid down to the base and extended out into a single, .75 meter long rod, which Brance soon gripped with both hands as he swung the transforming mass of metal to his right hip, dragging it behind him as he flew faster.

Ignoring the chorus of clicks, clangs, and bangs, Brance grit his teeth and appeared above the stunned and injured Uriel. He stared up at him with wide eyes as what he viewed as a lower lifeform raised his merged weapon over his head and smashed it down directly onto his head, the force of which created a visible shockwave that rocketed him down into the mountains hundreds of meters below.

When Uriel made contact with the ground, the rocky terrain shattered and caved in, creating a large crater several meters deep and wide.

Wasting no time and flicking his eyes to the 2.5 meters, fully transformed CST-GreatSword, Brance expertly spun the blunt sword around before rushing down to continue his assault while thinking about the day Cynrik had explained the changes to his CS Tears.

At the time, his older brother had been acting extraordinarily mysterious. He refused to explain what the new special skill added onto the two shields did, especially since the new skill's description was filled with Question Marks.

-Special Skill: (F) ???.-

The only thing Cynrik explained was that to trigger the new skill, all that was needed was a twist of the handles, some Mana, and a bit of force while placing the two shields together.

Following those instructions, the magical work of Engineering caused Brance to drop the merging weapons for a moment, earning him a fit of laughter from Cynrik and a scolding from Jessup, who was present through a video call.

-Special Skill (Fusion): Upon twisting the handles, pumping a minimum of 3k Terra, Light, and Wind MP, and forcefully drawing this Shield and its matching partner together, the Cold-Steel Tear Mark 3 (F) 1 and 2 will merge and become the CS-Tear Greatsword Mark 1.-

Brance had been startled by the Transformation, yet once he picked up his new weapon and examined its stats post-fusion, he became amazed and instantly praised Cynrik and Jessup for coming up with such an ingeniously designed piece of equipment.

However, upon reading the upgraded description of his newly merged Shields, Brance almost ended up dropping the Greatsword for a second time.

The attack that Brance had just used at point-blank range on Uriel was precisely the CS-Tear Greatswords Special Active Skill, and there was so much force behind it that Uriel was now buried under hundreds of kilos of stone.

Diving down with his sword trailing behind him, Brance arrived above the crater and utilized his Terra Manipulation to instantly clear the debris using only his mind before bashing the semi-conscious Uriel repeatedly.

Each strike burrowed the fallen Archangel deeper into the ground, and since he was in such a miserable state, it was all Uriel could do to keep conscious as the seemingly never-ending blows rained from above heavily.

As long as his opponent was injured and unable to respond in kind, Brance didn't care how deep they were traveling as each attack that connected sent the broken being several meters deeper.

The only goal in his mind at that moment was dealing the maximum amount of Blunt Force Damage to beat out how quickly he could see the wounds on the Archangel's body healing.

-You have dealt a critical blow to your opponent.-

-You have dealt 10611 damage to your opponent.-

-You have dealt 4836 damage to your opponent.-

-You have dealt a critical blow to your opponent.-

-You have dealt 11020 damage to your opponent.-

Thanks to the faint glow caused as a side effect of his [Nephilim Mode], Brance didn't have to worry about the lack of visible light that came along with being hundreds of meters underground. It wasn't until Uriel's body slammed into something too solid to break that Brance forced the surrounding rocks to open up into a vast domed cavern, giving himself enough space to widely swing his massive Greatsword with unhindered ease.

Narrowing his eyes and examining the present state of his opponent, Brance was surprised to find that not only was the Archangel's golden armor wholly shattered, but he could see every one of Uriel's ribs had punctured through the skin.

In fact, Brance had succeeded in pulverizing nearly every bone in Uriel's body EXCEPT the guy's ribs. Ignoring the spam of notifications threatening to flood his vision, Brance kept to something his Father on Earth had ingrained in his mind from a young age when it came to Boxing… 'Never Stop until the Ref pulls you off.' Thus he didn't stop until he finally received the notification from Tobs telling him it was all over and his opponent shattered into particles of light.
