Chapter 406 - Heavenly Ascension
...…
Few moments before Uno killed all of the young agents of the Roku Prefecture.
Bang! Bang!
Silver Claw was currently having a hard time dealing with the twin in front of him. During the start of the battle, he was able to overwhelm the two of them with his higher Martial-Art attainment. But as the time went by, the two were able to stand against him with an equal footing.
Not only they were able to adjust with his strength and power, but they were also able to find their own rhythm during this battle. What's more, the teamwork of these two were seemingly becoming much stronger the more this battle progressed.
But the real problem that Silver Claw had was the perfect coordination of the two. Their attacks were not only in complete sync, but those attacks also had some strange tempo.
At first glance, some of the attacks of the two were completely random and out of the system, But the more Silver Claw understood their attacking patterns, the more serious he became. It was because those random attacks were actually a hidden setup for the next attack of one of the twins.
Given that these two were twins, it was natural for them to understand each other without even talking. They don't even need to exchange a single gaze to know what the other was thinking. A single look at their actions was more than enough for either one of them to know what the other was planning.
Bang!
Swoosh!
Silver Claw was sent flying by the twin with a combined palm strike. He managed to avoid getting a direct hit by blocking their strikes with his crossed arm guarding chest.
But even if that was the case, his arms still suffered a serious blow. The bones on both of his arms were not only crushed by the impact, but he was also having a hard time healing them with his evil powers.
It was due to the special Mental Energies of the twin. Jillian's black flame was crushing his defenses while Molton's white flame was neutralizing some of the effects of his evil powers.
"D*mn it!" Silver Cursed in himself due to his current state but he couldn't do much about it. So, he was forced to retreat for the time being and tried to buy some time for his arms to recover.
But how could the twin let this chance slip away from their hands?
The moment they saw Silver Claw trying to create some distance away from them, they immediately executed their movement techniques to chase after him.
Jillian led the charge while Molton was closely following her.
With their current speed, the two of them managed to arrive in front of Silver Claw in no time. And right after arriving, Jillian immediately covered her right hand with her black flame Mental Energy before thrusting with it forward to throw a powerful palm strike.
Silver Claw knew that he couldn't take this attack head-on. He also couldn't afford to block it at his current state. Given that, he prepared himself to dodge the incoming palm strike.
But before he could even move his body according to what he anticipated, he suddenly noticed that his entire body became quite heavy. Feeling that, he suddenly frowned his eyebrows, trying to think what happened. And when he was looking for the reason why he couldn't move his body properly, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Molton who was right behind Jillian.
Molton was currently looking back at him with calm and emotionless eyes while making some slight gestures with both his hands. And that was when Silver Claw noticed the invisible threads made of Mental Energy, tied on different parts of his body.
Silver Claw's eyes suddenly turned wide when he saw that. "Since when?"
While he was trying to think how he ended up like this, Silver Claw suddenly remembered Molton's strange movements earlier. And that was when he realized why the latter kept on circling around him while throwing some light attacks.
"F*ck!" cursing, Silver Claw immediately maximized his Natural Force to strengthen his defense. But his Natural Force only blazed for a moment, it was because it was immediately subdued by Molton's next move.
When Molton saw Silver Claw trying to release an even more powerful Natural Force, he immediately pulled the invisible threads linked on his fingers which made the latter to be locked in place.
Immediately after that, Molton suddenly muttered. "Ignite!"
Right after he said those words, the white flame enfolding his body suddenly set the threads on fire that was rushing towards his opponent with a great speed. Due to that, the raging Natural Force surrounding Silver Claw's body immediately calmed down.
And that was the exact time when Jillian's palm strike landed at Silver Claw's exposed chest.
Bang!
"Ugh!" Silver Claw coughed out some blood due to the powerful impact of that attack.
And since Molton's blazing threads were tying him place, the damage that he suffered from the palm strike became even more devastating. Especially that he was being crushed between the two opposing forces; the tension from the threads that was pulling him and the pushing force from Jillian's previous strike.
Due to that, Silver Claw suffered a deadly blow; his ribs were totally broken while his heart was blasted into pieces.
Fortunately, his evil core was not placed on his heart, so he didn't immediately die even though his heart was destroyed. But he seemingly forgot about the blazing threads that were still tied on different parts of his body.
After making sure that Silver Claw was still in the middle of recovering, Jillian suddenly disappeared from his front and let the threads continue pulling him towards Molton.
Molton watched Silver Claw closely before rushing forward with a greet speed, not giving his opponent enough time to set up his defense.
After reaching his ideal distance, Molton suddenly stomped one of his feet on the ground to forcefully halt his charge before pushing his elbow forward.
Bang!
That elbow strike landed at Silver Claw's abdomen, making his body to form a complete arch due to the powerful impact.
Silver Claw was stocked with Molton's elbow before he was sent flying backwards due to the strong force pushing him. But just flew for a few meters when Jillian suddenly appeared right behind him.
Bang!
Jillian sent Silver Claw flying toward the sky with her powerful kick. The latter stayed in the air for a moment before Molton pulled him back towards the ground using his blazing threads.
Right below Silver Claw, Jillian was lying in wait for him while moving both of her hands in a circular motion above her head. And together with her hand movements, a trail of black light was seemingly chasing after her hands which created a circular barrier above her.
After that, she took a deep breath while placing both of her hands on each side of her waist. Then Jillian took a slight step backwards before pushing both of her hands upwards, pounding the circular barrier above her.
Boom!
On the very next instant, a pillar of black light suddenly flew towards Silver Claw who was currently falling back to the ground with a great speed.
Silver Claw was able to neutralize most of the damage that he took from the pillar of black light with the help of the Natural Force that he summoned at the last minute to protect his body. But at the same time, he also exhausted a lot of evil powers from his reserve.
Due to that, he became unprotected at this given moment. And when the twin finally found the window that they were looking for, both of them immediately grabbed this opportunity.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Molton and Jillian jumped up in the air while summoning their respective Mental Energies. And when Silver Claw saw that, he immediately pushed himself to the limit to protect himself.
Boom!
Bang! Bang!
Three powerful auras suddenly exploded in the air the moment those three summoned their respective powers.
Silver Claw adjusted his center of gravity in the air, so that he could properly face the twin who was coming after him. And delaying his descent, he suddenly raised his right arm in the air while gathering all of his remaining powers in it. From the looks of it, he was going to gamble everything on this particular attack.
He waited for a few more moments to let the accumulation of powers reach its peak before throwing a strong punch towards the ground which sent a powerful energy wave dowards.
'Great Silver Arts: Silver Slaughter'
Boom!
Meanwhile, the two were also executing their respective Mentalism Techniques midair.
Molton pulled his right arm backwards while gathering his white flame Mental Energy in it. A moment later, he suddenly halted his upward charge before throwing a powerful punch in the air and sent an energy wave of his own.
'Nirvana Arts: Holy Ray'
Bang!
At the same time, Jillian waved both of her hands in a circular motion before placing them in front of her chest with each of her palms facing each other. A moment later, a black sphere made of Mental Energy appeared in between her palms which expanded with a wave of her hands.
With a slight push, that black sphere suddenly flew towards the incoming energy wave with an unimaginable speed.
Swoosh!
'Samsara Arts: Ascension of the Dark Star'
With the speed of the black sphere was much faster than the energy wave that Molton had sent. But while it was overtaking the latter form of power, the white energy wave suddenly wrapped itself around the black sphere which made them fused with each other.
Seconds later, a burning sun was suddenly created which was blazing with an alternating black and white flame.
'Combined Mentalism Arts: Heavenly Ascension'
BOOM!
The black and white sun paused its charge for a moment when it collided with the powerful energy wave that was descending from above. But it didn't last for long since Silver Claw already exhausted most of his powers in the prolonged battle earlier. And due to that, he couldn't stop the advance of the rising sun as it continued to fly towards him.
Realizing that he couldn't escape this current predicament, all he could do was to smile bitterly and accept his fate. "D*mn these kids. They sure are a bunch of monsters in human flesh."
BOOM!
