"I am here, boy…" Kireina said as she touched Isaac's left shoulder with her index finger gently.

Gently…

"Eh?!"

BOOOOOOMMM!!!

A hit with her index finger into Isaac's shoulder had him fly down below as he felt his entire shoulder and arm be torn apart right away!

CRAAAASH!

"Unnngghhh…?!"

Isaac's blood began to be poured like a river from his wound, as starlight began to emerge too, slowly recovering and growing a new arm.

Kireina yawned.

"Come on, I already hit you once. Now's your turn." She said.

"Tch! How arrogant can you act, you demon?! I WILL SLAY YOU!"

FLAAAASH!

Isaac charged his body with the power of his starlight aura as he flew towards Kireina with enormous precision and speed, reaching up to her and unleashing a series of attacks with his blade against her!

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! SLAAASH!

Kireina grew her index finger red-colored nail and intercepted each blade art with it masterfully. She was using every possible weapon art she had learned with a single nail, and that was actually blocking the divine blade arts of Isaac!

"W-What?! With a nail?!"

"Yeah, with a nail." Said Kireina, raising her foot incredibly fast as her heels pierced Isaac's face, kicking him into the air.

BOOOOOMMM!

"UNGREEEGH…!"

Isaac's pretty face was completely disfigured as blood began to come out of his wounds, his eyes were crushed and burst into a bloody pulp, his nose was broken, his jaws were shattered, and his brain was made into minced meat!

"Unngraaggh…! Aaaggh…!"

Isaac began to scream in agony as he began to regenerate…

"Pathetic, without your healer, you're nothing?" asked Kireina.

"Hahh… I won't let you talk about me like that again! You murderer!!!"

FLAAAAASH!

Isaac reached up to Kireina as she greeted him with another kick, this time in the chest!

CLAAASH!

"AGGRG…! HAAAAHHH!"

Isaac roared as he took the hit and released a blast of starlight towards Kireina, she shrugged it off and took it head-on.

BOOOOM!

The smoke dissipated as Kireina's unscathed body was revealed. Not even her dress was damaged.

"Hahhh…! B-But I am a Great God! How can this power… not even damage you…?" asked Isaac in disbelief.

"You're what I call, a failure of a Great God," said Kireina.

FLAAASH!

"EH?!"

BOOOOM!!!

Kireina's fists hit Isaac's back, the impact made the entire space shatter around her and Isaac as he was sent flying through a black hole which ended opening in another area of the battlefield, clashing over the walls.

"AAGGH…! W-What was that?!" cried Isaac, feeling dizzy.

"My fists are strong enough that if I don't take care, I end up shattering space, did you know?" asked Kireina.

"S-Space?! Unnggh…!"

Isaac felt his entire body twisting around as he received all the damage of Kireina's attack, which seemed to have been delayed!

CRASH!

"AAGGRG…!"

Kireina glanced at Isaac with a mischievous smile as he twisted around, his feeble physical body ended becoming a mass of twisted flesh and broken bones…

"How about we take away that annoying body of yours? Do you feel like you can fight with your soul, Isaac?" asked Kireina, as she flew towards Isaac who was slowly regenerating!

"S-Shit!"

Isaac conjured several spells at the same time, divine techniques, and divine spells, to be exact, each one shook the entire battlefield as enormous 40-meter-big spheres of light emerged, falling over Kireina like falling stars!

BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!

Kireina, however, waved her hands as she threw them away.

However, before the stars could hit the walls, they turned into black ashes and disappeared…

Just what kind of terrifying power was Kireina wielding?!

Isaac felt speechless and utterly scared. Kireina's strength was… something completely out of this world!

Just what was she? What kind of monstrosity was she? Isaac tried to ponder this through his mind as his thoughts flashed faster than his actions. His mind was faster than a computer, yet Kireina was like one thousand supercomputers.

"Why don't you use some of your true potential, Isaac?!" roared Kireina, as she got a bit angrier than the boy was such a pushover!

FLAAAASH!

Kireina charged her power within her body as she shapeshifted into a monstrous primordial chaos beast! Her tentacles reached up to Isaac as his starlight began to fade away as it was consumed by the chaotic darkness of Kireina's entity!

"Unnghh…! Aaagghhh….! Stop…! STOOOOOP!"

FLAAAAAASH!

The power of starlight reached up to Kireina's chaotic power, as a sudden power surged from Isaac's Divine Core!

Isaac's blade was engulfed by this power as his eyes flashed with bright starlight, his entire body was coated by the power of the cosmic lights!

"RRRAAAAAAAHHH!"

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

His movements became incredibly faster and more precise than before out of nowhere, and Kireina felt like his power multiplied several times!

Kireina intercepted each of his hits with her Chaotic Tentacles which moved at even faster speeds, coated in the Essence of Demise, she was able to catch Isaac's powerful blows and infect his light with her chaos! His blade seemed to be special, as it was impossible to turn it into ashes by normal means.

"A blade made by a Supreme God?" wondered Kireina, as she charged a beam of Essence of Demise fused with other powers, and fired it at Isaac!

CLAAAAASH!

"Agh…!"

Isaac intercepted the beam with his blade, but gritted his teeth in anger and frustration! Damn it! Just how strong was Kireina?!

"Haha! That's the Awakening Unique Skill that all Legendary Heroes have, right? You've finally used it! It multiplies the power of the hero several times… Such a wondrous and cheat ability… It is going to be mine!" laughed Kireina, as dozens of crimson-red eyes emerged across her entire body and began to fire more rays filled with curses and deadly essence of demise! Isaac was barely evading with his golden blade as he leaped around, gritting his teeth as he suddenly generated a magic circle and counterattacked!

CLAASH! BOOOM! SLAAASH!

Explosions after explosions ensued all around the battlefield as Kireina began to find this a bit more entertaining!

"Essence of Demise!"

FLAASH!

More essence of demise began to spread across the battlefield, as Isaac who had strengthened himself beyond his limits and multiplied his power several times felt the deadly power of the essence of demise, which was trying to consume his entire body and turn everything into ashes!

"Nnnggh…! Divine Starlight Rejuvenation!"

FLASH!

Isaac covered himself in a powerful aura of rejuvenation as his body started to regenerate quickly, the essence of demise, however, didn't stop attacking him, and it was constantly trying to eat him up, but he was fighting with everything he had, he couldn't give up now, not now!

Kireina smiled maliciously as several claws from her body emerged, being fired as gigantic projectiles towards Isaac!

"Come out, my dear attack, Cursed Claws!"

Kireina brought back an old classic, this time, renewed to insane levels thanks to her new powers, each Cursed Claw used to be a claw-shaped mass of deadly energy and magic that could explode to deal large amounts of multi-elemental damage and also status effects, however, this time around, they had been enhanced through Kireina's current power, attribute particles, law comprehension, and Daos!

FLAAASH!

The gigantic Cursed Claws resembled enormous diabolic arms, reminiscing of their evolution, Arms of Demise, it seemed to be a wondrous combination of both!

The enormous diabolic black and red claws made of Essence of Demise, Chaos, many elements, skills, and abilities reached up to Isaac as they began to detonate near him, spreading the essence of demise and various curses and status effects one by one!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

"Unnnggh…! Y-You damn…! RAY OF ETERNAL SUBJUTATION!"

FLAAAAAASH!

Isaac has been gathering power over his chest this entire time just for this attack, as he released it all towards Kireina!

Her several Cursed Claws and Arms of Demise caught the attacks for her, however, as the blast of eternal subjugation ended being a bit more than a ray of divine light like the ones Apollo could make…

BOOOOOOMMM!!!

Kireina, however, felt a sharp pain in her soul as she saw a hole in it.

"Ooh?!"

The hole wasn't regenerating quickly as it was coated by the attribute particles of Isaac, Attribute Marks! Due to that, the damage was bigger.

But Kireina devoured it all and continued to fight eagerly. As she flew towards Isaac and continued to spam her beloved Skill! How memorable!

Isaac began to unleash more of his innate Hero Powers as if it wasn't enough, he awakened several new powers as his Epic continued to advance. After all, he was fighting against his destined enemy, Kireina! Due to this, the Epic System was continuously rewarding him with new power to confront her, because that was totally not what someone like the System Master was doing purposedly!

"Isaac is being aided by the System of Epics itself… Interesting. Can he get infinite powerups from it? I doubt it, there's a limit of how much his soul can take before it burst like a balloon… Maybe I should use a bit more of power…" thought Kireina, as her flashing crimson-red eyes opened wide and released countless rays of curses while her Cursed Claws and Arms of Demise caught up to Isaac and grasped his body, detonating right after!

BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!

"UAAGGH…!"

Isaac's body had been reinforced and healed several times, but his soul was weakening by the second, and even as he was now, he was barely fighting back!

The curses and status effects, although temporary, were just as deadly to him, as his power started to diminish and grow weaker by the second, he understood just how mighty the power of Kireina's abilities was! She was truly someone he was destined to fight!

"Hahaha! What's wrong?! Growing weaker?!" laughed Kireina, provoking the hero to grow wrathful!

"RRRRAAAAAAAAHHH!"

FLAAAASH!

"Oh!"

Kireina glanced with fascination as Isaac seemed to have awakened yet another ridiculous Skill, one named [Supernova]!

With this power, Isaac automatically gathered power within his body and released it into an explosion of start light towards anyone around him, the powerful attack contained all of his attribute particles, and Aether stat into it, making it a deadly explosive attack!

BOOOOOMMM!!!

Kireina, however, expanded her body around and began to devour everything without any issue, suppressing the deadly light and reaching up to Isaac with a gigantic Cursed Claw!

"Uuaaagggh…! I won't… lose…!" cried Isaac, although he was already barely standing, his soul was about to burst!

"You're an obsessed little ant… But it was fun while it lasted!" said Kireina, as she was about to consume Isaac in a powerful black hole…!

However!

TRUUUMM!

A sudden tremor emerged from Isaac's… origin core!

TRUUUMM!

Something big… was awakening from within it!

TRUUUMM!

"Oh?! So they even gifted you one of these…"

Isaac awakened something… something that could lead him to victory!

His eyes opened wide as they shone with bright yellow light.

It was a Dao!
