"Get away from me! You haven't seen anything I can do yet!"
Erdretoth roared. His Aura exuding from his body and seeping everywhere, the ground, the floor, the ceiling. Space and time seemed to slowly distort as he saw Kireina approaching, her axe moving down towards him.
However, his monstrous body quickly conjured a powerful Cosmic Aura Domain, exuding the powers of his comprehended Daos of Miasmic Nether and Holy Sunlight. Both common Daos most Recessed had already comprehended, but not that many had reached the Near-Cosmic Rank.
Kireina's powerful Axe Attack ended hitting a powerful invisible pressure surging from Erdretoth, his massive body stepping back as he pointed with his skeletal claws at her.
"Fools! All of you fools! You've forced my hand! I shall bring your doom no matter what, for this treason! For having my heart broken, Mammon-sama! You have betrayed me! And I thought we had something special!"
"Special?" Mammon's voice echoed from the axe. "Sorry, but you were nothing to me other than a source of cosmic power. And what you felt for me wasn't love either, you're simply obsessed with possessing me for no reason other than your corrupted, maddening emotions from your previous self. I already belong to my beloved Kireina here. And she shall be the only one that will touch my body."
"Fufu, you heard him." Kireina giggled, caressing and kissing her axe. "Mammon is MINE. I will be the only one to defile his beautiful body."
As the two provoked the Recessed, they managed to break the man.
"H-How can you… SAY THAT?!" Erdretoth screamed heartbroken, even though what he felt wasn't truly love, but madness mixed with an endless feeling of possessiveness. "[Decaying Sunshine]! [Chains of Holy Nether]! I'll kill you; I'll kill all of you and eat your flesh and souls! Like that, Mammon-sama will always me MINE! HAHAHA!"
As Erdretoth laughed monstrously, his Cosmic Domain Aura flashed with the powers of his Daos, the gravity around everyone suddenly felt much heavier and strange, as if it was weighing down on everyone several hundreds of times over!
But that wasn't all, as the Domain's cosmic energy gathered, light and darkness becoming one as the golden skeletal Recessed conjured a flash of bright golden light and black light, suddenly attempting to both blind, debilitate, paralyze, and curse all his foes at once.

[The [Recessed, "Lord of Gold Bones": Erdretoth (Star Eater Realm Tier 5/10)] has activated their [Decaying Sunshine] Cosmic Ability!]
[All of those that are exposed to the Decaying Blight have their stats reduced by 30%, and their Movement Speed is reduced by a further 50%. Additionally, there's a 5% chance for [Paralysis] to affect someone every 5 Seconds for 20 Seconds.]
But that wasn't all, Erdretoth then conjured powerful chains, the bright golden sunlight and nether darkness of his Cosmic Aura Domain transforming into thousands of gigantic black and white chains, wrapping them around his opponents, ignoring their defensive spells and barriers!
This one didn't need any particular description by the system, these chains were for one thing, restrain and weaken foes! In just a couple of seconds, everyone was being captured!
"Aarrgghh!"
Alice was caught by the chains, as they wrapped around her body tightly. She felt her cosmic energies being drained slowly, debilitating her.
"Ugh! W-Wait, not me!"
Nyzzet tried to run away as fast as he could, yet the chains caught him anyways in just a split second, restraining his huge body.
"Uwaah!"
Nephiana was constantly avoiding the chains, but more kept coming from everywhere.

They all attacked in unison against Erdretoth.
"Bastard! Stop with your damned games, now!"
Luminous conjured an enormous sword of light, his famous Divine Spell Excalibur, which had now evolved into a Cosmic Light Spell, shining with blue cosmic light and golden stars.
"RAAAH!"
He unleashed a barrage of weapon slashes as rays of Cosmic Light were emanated from each scale of his body. Ye Erdretoth easily parried all attacks with a combination of his own Domain's powers, his Spells, and his own bare claws, explosions of bright light erupted with each blow. Luminous was also tanking the Recessed attacks fairly well due to his combination of having a gigantic and tough body and also higher regeneration speed.
At the same time, Gaby and Altani freed themselves from the chains with their sheer physical prowess and powerful Cosmic Abilities and attacked as well. Gaby unleashed her powerful Dual Wielding Thunder Swordsmanship, each of her blows releasing explosions of oceanic water and lightning.
"You can't keep escaping behind your barrier! I'll break it down bite after bite!"
Her Aura also was constantly changing as she channeled the power of her [World-Eating Void-Swimming Shark Queen Authority: [Jaws]], which transformed her Aura into black and gray colored Void Shark Jaws, which constantly started biting through Erdretoth's defensive barriers.
Meanwhile, Altani fully transformed using her Cosmic Ability [World-Protecting Divine Spirit Dragon's Authority: [Dragon Form]]! Unlike the bulky and slow dragon form of Lilith, which was the reason why Kireina didn't bring her along, Altani's dragon form was slender and incredibly fast, resembling a Chinese serpentine dragon covered by emerald-like scales and green jade horns above her serpentine head, her shiny golden eyes shone brightly.
Her methods of attacks were both fast and precise, powerful breath attacks, horn attacks, bites, and above all her own Spear Techniques in conjunction with her own tail, which had fused with her Cosmic Spear Ego Relic, giving her the ability to unleash its techniques with the tip of it!

Crack, crack…!
CRACK!
The invisible barriers that the Recessed had made were already beginning to break as they were being grinded by Kireina's party.
Meanwhile, Kireina herself summoned her giant black hammer, the [Black Heavens Hammer Of Chaos: Metatron], belonging to her Fallen Archangel Bloodline Abilities.
With both Mammon's Axe, the Hammer Metatron, the Shield Furia, and Aquamarine encompassing her body as an extra armor, further fused with her Armor Skills and her Azure Sea Orichalcum, she unleashed a relentless barrage of attacks.
Like an endlessly moving object against a very movable object, Kireina struck down Erdretoth after everyone else weakened him, breaking his spells and shattering his barrier as she charged at him at full force.
CRAAASH!
"Gruuaarrghh!"
The Recessed felt like a whole meteor hit him directly.
His body was shredded to pieces!
