With their combined efforts, the Insectoid King was overwhelmed. Its huge body was restrained by Meiji's special combination of divine techniques and spirit magic using his newly reborn spirits powers, and his friends, the heavy hitters, slammed the beast's core until it started to shatter.
Crack… crack… CRACK!
"NOW!"
All their weapons pointed into the huge cracks at once, the impact was too much, the monstrous creature gave a loud scream before perishing, as its core shattered.
CRAAASH!
"GRYYYSHAAAA…!"
Its entire body started to crumble down into pieces, incapable of sustaining its own size anymore without the spiritual energy coursing through its body constantly.
"W-We did it!" Kizuato said.
"Amazingly done, Meiji! Without your help it wouldn't had been possible!" Yukan laughed.
"Your Spirits have grown stronger too." Jinsoku pointed out.
"Yeah, we did it together as family!" Laughed Goruden.
"Everyone…" Meiji felt slightly moved. "Yeah! But for now, let's not get to cocky, there's too many for that!"
Everyone gathered together once more, confronting the swarms of smaller Insectoid Spirit Beasts. Some in the distance were already planning to fuse into yet another Insectoid King to overwhelm them…
As their smaller bodies slowly began to converge together, suddenly, a lightning-fast figure emerged from below, leaping into the skies and slicing through the fusing insectoids with a sharp lightning katana!
"[Divine Thunder Lord's Blade Arts]: [Thunder Dragon's Descent]!!!"
His entire body unleashed a tremendous quantity of divine lightning all at once, materializing and fusing together into a gigantic Thunder Dragon, roaring furiously, and flying towards the still forming Insectoid King!
"ROOOOAARRRRGH!"
BOOOOOOOMMMM…!
The dragon engulfed the swarm into a huge explosion of thunder, countless cracks spreading across their bodies at once, shattering apart and dying on the spot, before they could even complete their combination.
CRAAAASSSH…!
"Phew, that was close."
It was nobody else than Raito, of course, who landed on the floor and gave out a relieved sigh. His sharp golden eyes glancing into the distance as his lightning katana continued sparkling with electricity.
"It's much better to deal with the problem before it happens than once it has been formed after all!"
Another figure appeared, Palami, with her long blonde hair, pale white skin, and wearing a shin white armor while flying in midair using her angelic wings made of light, slashed through another swarm attempting to fuse together!
"[Divine Paladin Lord's Blade Arts]: [Hegemony Celestial Ascent]!"
Gathering all her almighty divine light aura into her Divine Light Greatsword, Palami swung it vertically, unleashing a devastating ascending slash that erupted into a gigantic beam of light, burning, and vaporizing the insectoids while fusing, in their weakest point!
SLAAAAAAASSSH!
Their bodies shattered into pieces, or turned into ashes, falling as nothing but small debris from the skies, Palami quickly continued flying across the skies after that, slashing away her sword and eliminating any monsters in the vicinity.
She accompanied Raito from above, watching over him, all while their big friend, Asure, was rushing across the snowy landscape with his enormous body, letting the insectoids swarm him at the same time in a similar fashion to Truhan and Celica, and then slaying them all!
"[Divine Quake Lord's Hammer Arts]: [Earth-Shattering Seismic Smite]!"
CRAAAAAASSSSH…!
With a single swing of his gigantic hammer, Asure released a tremendous seismic wave that pulverized the beasts around him, all while his body shapeshifted, growing giant spikes of metal that crushed even more of these damned insects…
"Come on, we have to hurry, Asure! Hurry!" Said Raito. "The Ice Gods are having a hard time, looks like!"
"Don't mock them, Raito." Palami said with a serious tone of voice. "They're doing their best, after having their entire Realm devastated, can't you empathize with their suffering?"
"I-I do! Of course I do! Come on, don't get angry at me now, I was just trying to lighten the mood!" Raito felt slightly guilty now…
"Well, then, show your resolve as we help them!" Palami shone as bright as the sun, flying downwards and landing over a huge Insectoid Spirit Beast in the shape of a Praying Mantis, which was Rank 7!
Gathering her Spiritual Energy and fusing it with her Divinity of Holy Light, Holy Sword, and Paladins, she created brand-new techniques!
Her Aura erupted like the shine of the sun itself, shaping into a hundred swords of light which she fired down like a judgement of a goddess from heaven.
"[Divine Paladin Lord's Blade Arts]: [Sunshine Spiritual Blade Rain]!"
FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!
The blades descended rapidly, piercing through the praying mantis-like Insectoid and tearing its body into pieces before it were to finish off a wounded Ice Elf God whose armor had broken apart.
CRASH! CRASH! CRASH! CRAAASH!
"GRYYAARGH…!"
The beast fell into the floor, quickly dying on the spot. The Ice Elf man opened his eyes wide in shock as he saw Palami descending from the skies with her body shining as bright as the sun, and her wings… she resembled a beautiful angel!
"A-An angel…" He muttered.
"Are you alright?!" Palami slapped his face to wake him up, thinking he was about to pass out.
"Uwack! I'm fine! Ugh… You're not an angel at all…"
The man tarted sobbing, even though that slap also healed his wounds through Palami's Healing Light Magic.
"Good, then stay with us! We cannot disperse too much, or the Swarm will end up consuming us completely." She said.
At the same time, from above, Raito descended and slashed apart several Insectoid Scarabs that were harassing a few other wounded Ice Gods.
"Here come's the protagonist!" He laughed. "[Divine Thunder Lord's Blade Arts]: [Lightning Tempest]!"
Countless lightning-fast slashes of electricity pierced through all the beasts at once, while generating a storming tempest of electricity and winds, overwhelming all monsters, and pushing them away with ease.
SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! BOOOOM!
Finishing with a cool explosion, the Thunder Lord stepped in, saving the Ice Gods while giving out a rather cocky smirk.
"Are you guys alright?"
Raito extended his hand as he helped the Ice Gods stand back up, they all sighed in relief, thanking him for his aid.
"Thank you… When the barriers broke, we couldn't escape in time…"
"Ugh, thanks…"
"You have our eternal gratitude…"
And while this happened, a few dozen meters away, a huge polar bear was fighting a swarm alone.
"RAAAAAAHHH! For lady Lazuli!"
CRAAAAASSSH!
