Isaac couldn't believe it! This little Caterpillar that came out of nowhere, Bubu, began to crush him!

Maybe Kireina wouldn't be able to easily deal with Isaac, but with Bubu's power, it was possible!

The worst part of it all was just how pathetic this entity looked to Isaac… It was, after all, just a caterpillar!

What the heck was wrong with this world now?!

Isaac should be winning; he had awakened his amazing new Dao!

But why wasn't he winning? He had plot armor by his side!

Or did he?

The powerful Dao within him got even more frustrated, just how long did Isaac plan to mop the floor with his face?

For a slight of a second, the Dao began to consider just switching sides… But it remembered his creator, the Supreme God of Star Oceans, and could not…

"Sigh… MOVE!"

The Dao suddenly infused more power into Isaac's pained soul and body, regenerating it and fusing itself with him!

FLAAASH!

"Aahh… I won't fall…! I will… defeat you, Kireina!" cried Isaac. As he flew towards his fated enemy, but Bubu wouldn't get off the way!

"Is that so? Let's see if you can defeat Bubu though…"

Meanwhile, within another space of the formation, a fight between two axe wielders had just started some time ago…

Ray, the "big brother" figure of Isaac and his physically strongest ally wielded the power of starlight inherited from Isaac's Epic, as his gigantic golden axe artifact flashed with new power continuously.

Stars and cosmic illusions emerged from his axe as his muscular body shone brightly with the tight armor over it.

His brown skin filled with scars made his foe admire a bit of his personality as a battle junkie… His eyes shone brightly as starlight came from them.

His shiny armor infused more and more power into him, it was specially made to infuse power to let him stockpile it through his muscles…

He was a fighting machine and a Great God at that!

And his opponent… it was a gigantic beauty. A monstrous being to him. But nonetheless, she was beautiful…

Her skin was purple-colored like grape, her eyes sharp and red, she had black horns growing from her forehead, spiraling to the heavens above. Her hips ended in an incredibly long and scaled snake-like tail, each scale was like an armor plate, and she had many, making it incredibly sturdy.

Her upper torso was not nude, however, as she wore an enormous and heavy-looking black armor with several spiky designs… She loved this armor, which she had carried ever since she met Kireina, and whom she had upgraded many times until it became this amazing power…

Her long, purple-colored hair waved with the wind produced by her monstrous aura of darkness, poison, and war, which shaped as enormous snakes hissing furiously at him.

She had four arms, and each harm had a weapon too…

But this time, she chose to only wield one, the first one she ever had, which had also been upgraded into a powerful artifact of Divine Rank!

"Do I have to fight you to get back to Isaac?" asked Ray with a serious expression, unlike Isaac, his calm personality and confident nature made him more fitting in a battle to the death.

"That's right. You have to kill me first… To get back to your friend, boy…" said Nesiphae, smiling mischievously. Her size had been reduced for better and faster fighting, only being around 5 meters tall. But still enormous compared to the boy…

"Huh, I never thought I would get in this situation… Isaac, wait for me, buddy!"

FLAAASH!

Ray rushed towards Nesiphae, resembling a flash of starlight energy and red energy, War Energy, part of his main divinity!

Interestingly enough, Nesiphae's secondary divinity was also War!

CLAAAASH!

The enormous, purple-colored axe of Nesiphae clashed against the powerful axe of Ray, as both released shockwaves of power that expanded through the entire battlefield!

BOOOOM!

Nesiphae didn't wait for a single second more as she raised her axe once more and used her tail to hit Ray from behind!

"That won't work!"

CLAAASH!

Ray intercepted her powerful tail with his axe and pushed her down, leaving a large wound, right before intercepting her axe reaching to him like a guillotine with the very axe, he used to intercept her tail at time record!

"Divine Axe Arts: Heaven Splitting Slash!"

CLAAAAAASH!

The powerful technique was released like a slicing shockwave of starlight power mixed with his war divinity, clashing against Nesiphae's axe and pushing her upwards!

Impressive!

However…

Nesiphae's eyes shone brightly as she unleashed her Divine Aura, her deadly poison began to seep into Ray's body and weaken his stats, although the damage it dealt was minimal, her poison was a divinity, a great divinity to boot, so it was meant to be as strong as this!

"S-Shit!"

Ray rushed away as Nesiphae readied a summon!

BOOM!

A gigantic snake made of her Aura rushed towards Ray, trying to engulf him completely!

"Get away!"

SLAAAASH!

Ray released a powerful slash, slicing the snake in half!

However…!

The snake began to glow before being destroyed, as it exploded before Ray!

"Eeehhh?!"

BOOOOOOMMM!!!

"T-That's not fair!" cried Ray, as he slowly began to heal.

"Fairness? What are you talking about? You're asking for fairness to the ones you deem as evil, boy? You're an idiot, aren't you?" sighed Nesiphae, waving her head.

"Tch…! You're right!" laughed Ray, his smile grew rather sickly-looking, as his eyes flashed with bright red light, his divinity began to surge like a tornado around him, as he infused it into his body and moved to an incredible speed towards Nesiphae!

FLAAAAASH!

Nesiphae smiled as she did the exact same and flew towards him!

CLAAASH!

Their axes clashed once more as Nesiphae's fists rushed towards Ray and began to punch him from all sides!

Her arms were not skinny at all, but quite muscular, and her strength was devastating to an insane degree!

BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!

"UNNNGGH?!"

Ray cried in pain as he shaped his aura like fists as well, intercepting Nesiphae's prowess with his own!

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

The starlight was powerful, but Nesiphae's fists secreted deadly poison that seeped into his aura, and infected it!

She laughed maliciously while doing so, as from her mouth, a breath attack of poison came out too!

FLAAAAASH!

"S-Shit!"

Ray was filled once more with poison, as the poisonous smoke filled his sight.

Suddenly, a gigantic axe reached up to him as he raised his own, intercepting it!

But because he was in midair, he was thrown into the ground! 

BOOOOOOMMM!!!

"Unnnngggh…! Why is my healing not working?! Poison shouldn't even be a problem for me!" roared Ray, standing up again.

"Fool. Do you think Poison is not an element, but something used by the weak or something? By Attribute Particles of Poison and my Comprehension of the Poison Attribute Law would like to say otherwise…" said Nesiphae.

"Law…! As long as I have the power of War and Starlight within me, I will not lose! Isaac is waiting for me! I will defeat you, no matter what, snake woman!" roared Ray, reaching up to Nesiphae heroically, as Nesiphae smiled maliciously and intercepted his attack with her long nails, releasing countless slashing attacks seeped with poison and infused with war attribute divinity into them, increasing their damage dealt tremendously!

Ray barely intercepted the attack with his enormous axe, as he gritted his teeth and began to roar bravely!

"RRRAAAAAAAA!"

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

Suddenly, from his body, the aura of his divinities surged like enormous fists and meteors, firing themselves towards Nesiphae in succession!

"Nnngh?!"

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The powerful never-ending barrage of fist-shaped projectiles reached Nesiphae, her defenses were suddenly broken by the sheer power of Ray's Aura, as she was demolished!

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

But Nesiphae only smiled maliciously, her eyes shining brightly with crimson-red light!

FLASSSSSSHH!

Her entire body exuded a powerful flash of divine energy as her poison began to seep everywhere, her snakes took out the fists and devoured them with the power of War enhancing them, it was a deadly combo!

Her wounded body slowly recovered through recovering poison, as she reached up to Ray at an incredible speed!

FLAAAASH!

"S-She's fast!"

Ray gritted his teeth as he realized that the armor wasn't slowing her down at all!

"That's a good spirit, show me more of what you got! Give me some challenge!" laughed Nesiphae, her vicious power overwhelming Ray as her axe, fists, and her Aura continuously overwhelmed and ate him alive!

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLAHS!

"UUNNNNNNGGRRROOOOOO!"

Ray roared bravely as he raised his axe and began to infuse everything, he had on it and his body, thousands of techniques began to combine into a powerful divine technique, releasing it towards Nesiphae as his axe began enormous, like that of a titan!

CLAAAAAASH!

Nesiphae was overwhelmed by the attack as she was thrown away!

"Amazing!" she said, praising Ray's efforts, she rushed towards him again as her armor shielded her from the damage of that attack, although her bones had broken and regenerated back a couple of times!

"Heh, you're enjoying this?!" asked Ray, as he roared, his axe flashed with crimson-red light and starlight aura, intercepting Nesiphae's attacks one by one, barely!

Ray felt like he was surpassing his limits at this very moment, slowly but steadily, he was evolving in battle!

Nesiphae laughed maliciously as her attacks reached up to Ray in quick succession, her power was overwhelming him with every second, he was going to die if things continued like this!

But…

"Not yet!!!"

Ray roared more bravely than ever before; his aura shaped in the form of a brave lion as it roared back at Nesiphae!

Nesiphae smiled at this, her aura shaped itself as hissing snakes and fought back against the beasts that came from Ray's aura unexpectedly!

CLASH! CLASH! BOOOM!

"W-What was that?!" asked Ray in surprise, he had never seen this before!

"You're evolving in battle, boy! Prepare yourself!"

Nesiphae showered Ray with thousands of snakes and her axe attacks mixed into it, as Ray intercepted her with his own axe and his powerful lion, the battle continued for minutes after minutes, the roaring of the beasts and the clashing of the axes, it was a beautiful sight to behold!

War Attribute versus War Attribute, Starlight versus Poison!

Ray's powerful attributes rushed towards Nesiphae's attributes, their great divinities clashing majestically as the fight seemed that it would never come to an end!

Nesiphae smiled, she was enjoying this… this was a beautiful challenge!

"What a wonderful boy!" she thought.

CLAAASH!

However, her axe fell over him, as his axe suddenly cracked!

CRASH!

"But his is as far as you go!"

"Unnnggh…! W-Wait…! I-Isaac…!"

SLAAAAASH!

Ray's entire body was sliced apart, as his soul was destroyed into pieces!

Nesiphae caught all the pieces and quickly saved them inside her Inventory…

"What a talented warrior... Maybe Kireina will bring you back, who knows?"
