Rakasha and Tisha desperately swung their weapons against the incoming blazing flames, while releasing all their Divinity and powers with it. The blacksmith's hammer blazed with his entire Divinity on it, growing larger and attempting to stop the flames of Marchosias!
BAAAAAMM!!
At the same time, Tisha released all her Divinity into a mighty, all-freezing slash with her already repaired sword, which quickly started to shatter again.
SLAAAASSHH!!
The two attacks impacted the flames at the same time, as the two roared in unison, trying to push back Marchosias attack with all their might!
"RAAAAHHH!"
"GRAAAHH!"
Pekora glanced behind her as she flew using her Lighting Rabbit Beast Spirit to move as fast as possible, carrying the dying Yuki in her arms.
"You won't resist enough! RUN!"
She tried to bring them back, but the two continued resisting the powerful flames, Pekora thought she would lose Tisha and Rakasha now.
"Sorry, but we can't!" Rakasha roared. "We have to do something, even if it costs our lives… My family is long gone, I don't mind dying!"
"Pekora, take Yuki away, we'll hold on as long as we can, no matter what!" Tisha roared. "This is the first time since I've loved someone like I love you, I don't care what happens to me, as long as I know you can keep on living!"
"No…! You can't just say that and- Ugh, dammit!"
Pekora was smart, and she knew what she had to do anyways, quickly rushing down as fast as she could into the ground below and zapping back into the crimson barrier.
"BURN! BURN! I'LL BURN YOU! KUAHAHAHA!"
Marchosias laughed maniacally, unbefitting of his composed demeanor from before, which made him resemble a mighty martial artist.
He had given up completely to his true nature, becoming another embodiment of destruction, what all Demons truly were!
Tisha and Rakasha swung their weapons, clashing against the endless flames, feeling them burn through their skin and flesh.
"I will not let you pass!"
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
"You'll have to burn us to ashes first, fucker!"
SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!
Their attacks continued as they felt the agony of Marchosias flames burning through them. The wolf didn't just released flames, swinging his gigantic claws against them.
"GROOOAARR!"
Their weapons began to gain countless cracks, slowly falling apart into pieces. As if things couldn't get any worse, his Aura drained their life force too.
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLAAASSHH!!
With each second that passed, the sensation that their deaths were imminent became closer and closer, their lives already beginning to flash through their minds.
"Fighting this monster… It is not a bad way to go." Rakasha thought. "I'll finally meet you again, Azalaia, Saphira…" He recalled his wife and daughter, who had passed away many years ago.
"I wish I could stay longer…!" Tisha gritted her teeth, the searing flames burning through her arms, it felt like they would soon crumble. "I need you to live, please, keep on living…! You are perhaps the only person I have truly loved in this life…" She recalled her love once more, preparing herself.
"RAAAARRRR!"
Marchosias released a last shockwave of Demonic Energy, his flames covering the two of them, as their arms crumbled into ashes and the rest of their bodies was set ablaze.
FLUOOOOSH!
"DIE!"
The demonic wolf swung its gigantic, metallic claws against them, tearing through the empty air and aiming to cut them down to pieces and finish them off even quicker.
RUMBLE!
However, something above the skies emerged. The clouds gathered in there once more, as the flames of Marchosias were already piercing through Rakasha and Tisha's combined Divinities, burning through their Divine Power.
"Just when I thought I could take a nap… You guys just come back again and ruin everything."
The voice of a very pissed off goddess echoed above the skies, as the clouds gathered and became black, quickly beginning to rain over the entire jungle on flames.
This rain was no mere water, but Divine Water conjured by the Goddess of the Sea!
FLAAAASSHH!!!
The water had healing properties, turning off the flames covering Tisha and Rakasha before they could lose their consciousness.
"W-What is this…?!" Tisha muttered.
"That's…!" Rakasha looked into the skies.
The figure of nobody else than Aegir appeared above the skies, as if scolding them for having woken her up from her slumber, the Goddess roared!
"You… You damn demons! I thought you were a thing of the past, yet you keep on coming endlessly!" She roared furiously. "I'll crush you all! DIE! [Divine Oceanic Storm]!"
TRUUUUMMMM…!!!
The skies shook as an enormous downpour of water reached Marchosias, temporarily overwhelming his flames and pushing him down!
BAAAAAMMM!!!
At the same time, Aegir quickly divided her body into two masses of water, and covered Tisha and Rakasha's bodies with it.
FLAAASH!
The power of the Ring which Drake had left behind activated, as her powers became theirs temporarily!
Tisha and Rakasha saw their bodies regenerating rapidly, at the same time as they gained a set of regal-looking divine armor of blue color.
It was decorated with the waves of the sea and the many fearful creatures that lived there, all while they gained new weapons as well, imbued with Aegir's powers.
Ding!

"Aegir?! I thought you went with Drake!" Tisha said in shock.
"Well, I didn't!" Aegir said angrily. "Now, it's time to crush that bastard to smithereens!"
