Jotun and Roku pushed back the Imperishable Gravity Star Crazy, but just a few dozen meters. Luckily, right after the duo's attack, John Erick flashed forward and punched the Crazy's chest point blank.
Once again, a strike pushed Imperishable Gravity Star Crazy away from the rest of the Shield Team. Using that time, Zitra and Numir reached the Crazy and unleashed a blow covered in light and lightning.
Zitra and Numir fired a combined blow to the Imperishable Gravity Star Crazy's chest, pushing it out of the rest of the Shield Team range.
"AHHHH!" The Imperishable Gravity Star Crazy roared with rage. It suffered superficial injuries at most, but what truly enraged it was its onslaught failing and the desire for destruction in its heart burning non-stop.
Despite the frightening aura of the Imperishable Gravity Star Crazy, none of the Shield Team members showed even an iota of fear. Each of them experienced samsara inside the dream worlds, and the experiences of those lives tempered their willpower to a shocking level.
Gabriel and Dean moved to the back, and the rest of the Shield Team made sure to protect the duo. The ability to freeze in time a Peak Everlasting Stage life form even for a second was shocking, and their best trump card against an enemy with such amazing defenses.
Omega Event Horizon unleashed a power that surpassed the might of even the mightiest black hole in the entire Prima Universe. Still, it also generated an immense burden on Dean and Gabriel's bodies and souls, and they needed to rest before employing it again.
Roku and Jotun took the front of the Shield Team again, using all their power to restrain the Imperishable Gravity Star Crazy to the best of their capacities. Wounds were also accumulating in the duo, but they were sure they would last long enough.
Of course, there was a chance that the Imperishable Gravity Star Crazy could overcome their blockade and charge once again at the rest of the Shield Team, but there were those able to handle it for enough time.
There was one member of the Shield Team whose offensive power could have allowed him to play a significant role in the Sword Team. Still, the nature of his Omega Law made it perfect to counter the Imperishable Gravity Star Bloodline.
Gwyn stared at the Rank 9 Crazy with coldness and absolute focus as the Soul Scourge Flame in his halberd grew more and more powerful. Although unleashing it now would harm the Imperishable Gravity Star Crazy, the Eye Holder was saving it for when the team most needed it.
The battle of the Shield Team against the Imperishable Gravity Star Crazy was slow and steady due to the team's goal of buying time. On the other hand, the fight between the Sword Team and the Collapsing Star Crazy was wilder and much faster!
Nero and Heinz moved around the Collapsing Star Crazy at a shocking speed, unleashing barrages of spear and sword strikes while at the same time restricting the Crazy's movements.
A wave of sword strikes bathed in flaming soul force raining down on the Collapsing Star Crazy, making this one use its arms to protect its head, but in doing so, it left its chest open for attacks.
"Cataclysmic Dragon Breath!"
"Sundering Dragon Breath!"
Two Dragons opened their mouths and fired beams of flames carrying incredibly violent forces. These Dragons were Kiryn and Sureing, who had made a name for themselves hundreds of years ago in Legacy thanks to their outstanding destructive abilities.
That torrent of fire burned the chest of the Collapsing Star Crazy, and before it could even get hold of itself, the duo that it almost killed a few minutes ago came back.
Nito and Pholix both unleashed a palm strike, the first carrying a purging force while the second a fierce and burning light.
"CRACK!"
The sound of bones cracking echoed inside the ninth level, making the Sword Team smile, but they did not lose focus as they knew things were far from over.
The Collapsing Star Crazy had an undying body. To kill it, they would have to destroy it thoroughly, and they were far from that.
More and more attacks landed on the Collapsing Star Crazy, destroying its flesh and breaking its bones, pushing it closer and closer to its death.
From time to time, the Collapsing Star Crazy would manage to push Heinz and Nero away, but the Sword Team's flawless teamwork that they honed in the eighth layer helped them face all those dangerous situations.
As time passed, the battle began to exhaust the Sword Team's energy and stamina, but the smiles on their faces grew larger as they saw the state of the Collapsing Star Crazy's body.
The Collapsing Star Crazy had lost its left arm and right leg. There were holes all over its chest and head, including where its heart and brain should be, and there was not a piece of its body not burned or corroded.
In the void, Ezequiel glanced at the battle, and an odd light appeared in his eyes. Not long ago, he stood at the same level as those geniuses. He might be at the top but was still among their ranks, but now he could only compare with the powerhouses of previous generations.
If he wanted, he could unleash an attack from the void into the ninth level of the Realm of Madness that would destroy those Crazies. It would drain all of Ezequiel's power, but it was something that none of the geniuses could even dream of achieving.
Ezequiel stood up and stared at the distance before flashing forward.
Zatiel opened his eyes and glanced at the Supreme Neo-Demon before shrugging his shoulders and focusing on the Realm of Madness again.
Far from the Realm of Madness, there was the Mind Ruler World that the Immortal Alliance besieged.
Salomon's eyes narrowed when he saw a figure flash past them and crash into the world.
