"¡AHHHHHH!"
Wraithshriek screamed in pain as the blast of those suns burned his body. Even though Dante did not control an overwhelming destructive force, he had access to massive energy, so his attacks were very powerful.
The blast of golden fire covered the duo, but it did not take long for the Knight and Sacred King to emerge from it.
Dante's eyes were cold as he stared at the Knight. If this one dared to focus on anyone else, he would not hesitate to attack with all his power.
Wraithshriek's eyes were full of fury. The Sacred King would attack him from the back if he attempted to go after anyone else.
The Knight was confident in his chances in a direct battle, but it was clear that Dante would not fall into a melee battle. In the end, Wraithshriek could do nothing other than flash after the Sacred King.
Dante immediately flashed away, focusing half of his energy on healing the rest of the Sacred Kings and providing force to the Samsara Astra Magicae Codex and the other half on keeping Wraithshriek at a safe distance.
Roku, Ira, Eve, Ragnar, Pan Gu, and Bahamut could focus fully on their enemies when they saw that Dante could handle Wraithshriek. Other than the Depravita of Wrath, who was fighting against the Sky Demon Race Knights along with Codicia and Orgullo, the other five formations were in a one-on-one battle.
The energy level of each Samsara Astra Magicae Codex's formation controlled by those six was at an outlandish level, nearing the Middle Stage. Still, domain and control over those forces were lacking, reducing the battle power they could unleash to just the Peak or Late Initial Stage.
Such power was still amazing and enough to face the full might of a standard super universe, but their enemies were all Fourth Real life forms that had conquered countless universes, so the sightless error or distraction could lead to their death.
Pan Gu's eyes were sharp as he focused on his enemy. He was currently at the center of a formation resembling a giant crow with two heads and eyes on its wings.
Crow of Eternal Damnation.
That was the name of the formation. It was capable of incredible speed, and cannons of energy emerged from the eyes in its wing, capable of chasing after the enemy on their own.
"¡BOOM!"
A resounding explosion echoed across the battlefield as the energy cannon flashed after the Knight.
Pan Gu's enemy was a Knight that resembled a mage using warrior armor. He was nearly twenty meters tall, but that was nothing compared with the size of the Crown of Eternal Damnation.
The Knight waved his metal staff, generating hundreds of clones that flashed in all directions, trying to trick the energy cannon.
However, there was a reason for the word eternal in its name. Its attack was virtually undodgeable.
The energy cannon split into hundreds of energy beams, destroying all the clones until there was only one left, and then they converged into this one.
Such an attack required superb control over cosmic forces, something Pan Gu excelled in thanks to his domain over World Strength.
A cold smile appeared in the Lord of Emptiness as he saw the energy beams about to clash with the Knight, but he felt that something was wrong when he noticed the calm on this one.
Just as the energy beams were about to clash with him, the Knight extended his staff, generating an iceberg that covered his entire body.
"¡BOOOOMMMM!"
Pan Gu's eyes narrowed, and a somber expression appeared on his face. The energy beams destroyed over 80% of the iceberg but failed to reach the Knight.
Things only grew direr the next second, as what remained of the iceberg shattered into hundreds of pieces that remained floating around the Knight.
"What an interesting attack. However, you are not a match for me, Malifex, the Reckoner of Fate."
Malifex's voice was cold as a red force fueled the broken pieces of ice around him, transforming each into a new giant iceberg that flashed toward the Crow of Eternal Damnation at superluminal speed.
Pan Gu could feel the immense power behind each of those icebergs, and if he could only rely on physical might, it would have been a big problem. Yet, there was a reason why he chose people with energy or spiritual bodies to form part of the Crow of Eternal Damnation.
The head opened their peaks, unleashing a sea of fire that adopted the form of a gargantuan shield in front of the formation.
Malifex's eyes widened as he saw the fire shield and how it managed to stop the icebergs. He tightened his grip over his staff as he noticed the energy mastery the enemy could unleash.
All of a sudden, shock appeared on his face as he could no longer feel the presence of the Crow of Eternal Damnation. He extended his left hand, making the icebergs explode, blasting open the firewall, but the formation was no longer there.
The next second, the Knight looked up and saw the crown diving down toward him. He only had time to raise his staff and generate a red gravitational repulsion against the formation, stopping its lunge at the last second.
Pan Gu clenched his teeth as he used all his power to stop the gravitational repulsion from sending the formation flying away. His eyes glowed as he used the final skill of the Crow of Eternal Damnation.
Malifex saw the eyes in the crow's wings glowing and prepared to face another of the energy cannons, but what he received was much worse.
A spirit invasion force emerged from the eyes on those wings, reaching all the way into the Knight's soul, shaking his mind, and making him lose control over his energy for a fraction of a second.
Malifex lost focus for less than a nanosecond, but that was enough for the gravitational repulsion force to lose strength, allowing the Crow of Eternal Damnation to crash into his body at full power!
Shock and awe appeared in the eyes of all the Knights, Sacred Kings, and warriors inside Samsara Astra Magicae Codex's formations when they saw Pan Gu's Crow of Eternal Damnation grab Malifex with its claw and dive down.
It was the first time since the battle started that a decisive strike landed on someone, and it was not done by a Knight or Sacred King but by a formation full of Extreme Rank 9 life forms.
Pan Gu might not be the strongest, but he was a life form with over ten Epochs of wisdom and someone that managed to scheme against the Emptiness and win!
Malifex regained control over his energy and clenched his teeth as he made his armor burst into dark flames that forced the crow to let him go, but not before waving its wings and sending a maelstrom toward him.
The Knight broke the winds apart and sent streams of fire toward the Crow of Eternal Damnation. He was still able to fight, but there were large wounds all over his body.
Pan Gu did not lose focus or grow overconfident just because he connected a direct attack and carried on using all his wisdom and battle instinct.
Although Pan Gu was able to keep calm, the rest of the warriors inside the Samsara Astra Magicae Codex's formations burst with excitement. The Lord of Emptiness showed them they could kill a Knight!
Eve, Roku, Ragnar, and Bahamut felt the excitement of their Extreme Rank 9, but while they would have also liked to respond like that, they were the leader and had to keep a cold head.
That was especially true for the Astral Fiend. Roku was the core of a formation that resembled a massive semi-humanoid creature with bone armor, seven arms, and large tails.
Skyreaper.
That was the name of the formation that Roku mastered, and right now, there were dozens of tentacles around it, trying to shatter it and kill everybody inside.
The Knight that Roku was facing could only be described as a gargantuan mass of tentacles emerging from a woman's head. There was nothing but overwhelming strength in those extremities capable of breaking Cosmic Walls apart.
"Hahaha, every enemy that falls into my tentacles can never escape. Surrender to me, Oblivora, the Shatterer of Realms."
Roku heard the Knight's voice, and he only sneered. His formation did not have unique abilities like soul invasion spells or spell mastery, but it had one thing.
Brute power.
"SHHHH!"
Tentacles tearing apart echoed across the battlefield as the Skyreaper began to shatter its restrictions.
Shock appeared in the face of Oblivora, but soon that turned into rage as she sent even more of her tentacles toward the formation.
Roku's eyes were full of coldness as he pushed the Skyreaper beyond its limits, destroying everything as he approached the head of the Knight. He would not rest until ripping her soul to pieces.
