The swarms descended, and as Skadi continued battling in the skies and covering a wide area of the sky and land battlefield, Celica and Truhan led their group to battle as well.
"RAAAAH! [Infernal Blazing Titan Axe Arts]: [Volcanic Wrath]!"
With a powerful swing of his gigantic blazing battle axe, Truhan slashed through the ground and the skies, a gigantic wave of all-destructive flames erupted from his mighty attack.
TRUUUUMMMM…!
The might explosion of flames consumed over forty insectoid spirit beasts, the heat was so intense their crystalized bodies started to melt, dropping like flies from the sky one after another, their bodies exploding as they hit the floor.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
However, the insectoid spirit beasts instantly decided to target him, his explosive damage was tremendous, perhaps too much for them to handle, they wanted him dead as soon as possible!
BBBZZTTT…!
Truhan was quickly swarmed by over two hundred insectoid spirit beasts at once, covering his gigantic, titanic body! However, he smiled as their stingers and jaws tried to pierce his hard skin, his red skin glowing brightly as his flames erupted from his very flesh as if he were a living volcano.
"[Infernal Blazing Meteor Shower]!"
TRUUUUMMM…! RUMBLE!
His body erupted with tremendous quantities of flames and lava! His very sweat was like lava, and his blood were flames! Both merged together, as his body erupted with hundreds of gigantic, over twenty-meter large meteors out of his own body.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Countless more explosions spread across the skies and the floor below, the snow quickly melting before his almighty heat. The insectoids were completely vaporized by the explosions, no survivors were left standing!
The insectoids, as stupid and mechanical as their minds were, became completely shaken the moment they saw the massacre, it wasn't at the level of Skadi with her incredible speed, but it could be comparable to an extent to her might, if not even more impressive as flames hurt much more than frost.
BBBZZZTTT…!
However, much like an organized colony of ants, they simply decided to change their strategy! Their swarms gathered and then started to melt together, a hundred insectoids per fusion, mostly the weakest of the bunch.
FLAAAASH!
And then, Truhan saw with his sharp red eyes as two giant bugs emerged, overflowing with combined elemental spiritual divinities! They resembled glorious Insectoid Kings, Rank 8 beings of a power equal to Low-Ranking Supreme Gods!
While he was already fighting another few hundred swarms all around his gigantic body and burning them to a crisp, the two Insectoid Kings descended at a flashing speed, trying to crush him into the ground. Their sizes being half his own, surpassing sixty meters of height, while Truhan was almost two hundred meters.
CRAAAAASSSH! CRAAAAASSSH!
Their gigantic insectoid claws and mandibles immediately beginning to slash through his muscular, multiple pairs of arms at once, yet Truhan did not give up so easily. Despite their might, he didn't fall, he stayed standing mightily, using his own weight and height to his advantage, as one of his two pairs of arms overflowed with Spiritual and Divine Flames, channeling both his divinity from Genesis and spirit power from his [Spirit Heart] all at once.
"I will NOT go without a FIGHT!" He roared furiously, flames erupting endlessly from his titanic, red-skinned body, his black horns glowing bright red as his fists unleashed a barrage of punches against the two Insect Kings trying to bite and slash him to death.
CRASH! CRASH! CRASH! CRASH! CRASH! CRAAASH!
The tremendous quantity of explosive damage spread several deadly cracks above the Insectoid Kings, pushing them away with sheer strength. Their bodies instantly recovered from the dizziness though, their eyes set on Truhan, as their wings moved rapidly, both reached him once more, trying to pummel him down.
"RAAAAAH!"
However, with a furious roar, Truhan swung his axe once more, channeling all the masteries he had accumulated, the skills he fused, and the divinity and spiritual energies he had gained.
"[Infernal Blazing Titan Axe Arts]: [Infernal Hell's Wrath]!"
CRAAAAAASSSSSHHH!!!
The huge axe descended rapidly and with an explosive, blazing force, impacting one of the two Insectoid Kings, and beginning to slowly slice through its massive body starting from the head, all the way down to its abdomen!
CLAAAANK!
The sound of the axe hitting the floor below reverberated across the entire Realm of Niflheim, the mighty Rank 8 Insectoid King was slashed apart into two halves, as its innards started setting ablaze, its huge sliced body falling apart over the ground, its melted crystalline body covering the snow.
"GRYSSHAAA!"
The other Insectoid King did not take it happily, quickly unleashing several Rainbow Beams against Truhan's back and pushing him away, with large wounds on his back, the blazing titan stood back up, roaring like a mad berserk and about to confront the new threat, even as badly wounded as he was! He could take one, but could he take a second right afterwards?
And that's without even considering the swarms of insectoids coming endlessly, some already planning to create yet another Insectoid King to overwhelm the titan with both quantity and quality…
"TRUHAAAN! [Divine Moonlight Titan Axe Arts]: [Star-Splitting Slash]!"
Celica swiftly emerged from the skies, having leaped all the way here from afar, swinging her two huge axes at once, as she unleashed two powerful slashes made out of moonlight energy and darkness, generating a half-moon shaped slicing arc!
SLAAAASH! SLAAAASH!
Her attacks easily overpowered the mighty Insectoid King's long-ranged Spirit Beams attacks, and swiftly cut down a pair of it's crystalline claws into pieces. The creature was incredibly tough despite its frail appearance; however, Celica was simply very strong.
"Celica! I know you can have my back!" Truhan laughed; his wounds being covered by Celica's Healing Magic.
"[Moonlight Veil]!"
FLAAASH!
The wounds were quickly recovered, as Truhan got up from having fallen into his knees, and with Celica's support, the two cut down the second Insectoid King, massacring it by chopping the thing with their axes.
CRASH! CRASH! CRASH! CRAAASH!
"You idiot!" Celica slapped Truhan's face with her giant hand. "Don't be TOO reckless! You almost got killed for real there!"
"Ouch! I-I'm sorry!" Truhan cried. "It won't happen again, honey… Don't get mad now!"
As the two had a lovers quarrel, they slashed away entire swarms of Insectoid Spirit Beasts.
