The hero fight continues. Their attention was initially slightly distracted due to the Parasites attacking the soldiers. But they refocused on Tortoise and determined to get this done as soon as possible.
Nadia still attacked Tortoise continuously like a possessed person. The other heroes did not stay silent, they exerted their best strength to defeat him. The first stage of their plan was to make quite a number of cuts on Tortoise first.
Tortoise seemed to want to take out his power and attack Nadia, but Nanami stretched out her whip and tied Tortoise's mouth with her whip. Marcel and Argo ran from the left and right sides of Tortoise. They make the Tortoise foot as a foothold for jumping. Argo darted quickly to Tortoise's neck and stabbed his knife into Tortoise.
"Knife Skill: A thousand incisions!"
The light of lightning slashes gleamed and scratched the very many wounds in the place where Argo attacked. On the other hand, the leaping Marcel revolved in the air and fluttered his scythe to Tortoise.
"Sick Tornado!" Shouted Marcel.
The tornado wind accompanied by the slash of Scyth whirled right beside Tortoise's neck and cut him like a saw. Tortoise was about to attack and shake his head as his mouth was held back by Nanami.
"I won't let it!" Nanami.
They needed to buy some more time, because right now, there were three people who were preparing an attack that might be enough to defeat Tortoise.
"Nanami are you still capable?!" Marcel asked Nanami who was holding Tortoise with her whip.
"E-whether how can I definitely survive! But it only took me until I was exhausted..." He said as he continued to hold back his whip.
For a woman, she really should not be underestimated. I don't know it's from her stamina and beauty. Now is not the time for that. Marcel looked at Takumi and Takatsumi who were focusing on their flagship attack. If their attacks both failed, then it would be his turn to use his mainstay skill. This must be done to prevent all heroes from fatigue at the same time. On the other hand, it seems that Alexei is ready at any moment.
"... It's time, yeah..." Marcel muttered. "Aland, prepare! we'll do the plan now!" Marcel.
Marcel took the horses back with his Scythes which were in combat mode. A happy smile was plastered on Marcel's lips, he had waited long enough for this moment to arrive. Realizing that the stratum is about to go into stage two, the heroes including Nadia who give the marks all over Tortoise's body begin to move away from him. Marcel drew strength from his feet and hands.
"*W*be thou imbecile of Sin, by my command the Hero of Sickles, I command you to die here!! I'm the Grim Reaper to take your life*!"
An extremely powerful deep purple aura emerged from Marcel and gathered in his Crescent. His strength increased twice as strong, the purple energy seemed to symbolize another figure, the Angel of Death. Marcel's scythe began to change from red to black and turned to black purple. Perhaps this does not look like the strength of a hero, but this power is very compatible with his Crescent.
On the other hand, Aland had already prepared his hammer and picked up a powerful swing to throw his hammer. He watched Marcel closely, as Marcel began to run towards Tortoise, Aland followed him from behind.
*Grww.............
Tortoise could only groan because his mouth was cupped by Nanami. Tortoise took one step forward and intended to step on Marcel. Seeing that, Argo did not stay silent just like that. He leaped from Tortoise's neck and very forcefully slashed Tortoise's leg.
*Clang.........
*Grww.rrr........
Tortoise attacks pain. Argo manages to slice deeply into Tortoise's legs and leaves Argo's body covered in a lot of blood from Tortoise. In this brief pause, Marcel took the opportunity to jump right beside Tortoise's neck.
"Aaaaarrrggghhhhh...!!!" Marcel roared and swung his Crescent to Tortoise's neck very strongly.
His sabre blade seemed enlarged, encompassing Tortoise's entire neck and striking him with great force. Its strength was enough to pierce through Tortoise's hard skin, yet it was not strong enough to decapitate his head. For this reason, Aland is here.
"Hooorrrraaaahhhhh....!!" Aland Roared and stretched his hammer to the end of his Crescent Marcel.
The scythe went deeper and deeper into Tortoise's neck and blood was about to come out of it. Tortoise began to rebel so Nanami had to remove her whip from Tortoise's mouth.
*Graaooorr..........
Tortoise shouted loudly, his eyes started to emit bright rays. It seemed like he was about to exert his strength, but that was expected. In the middle of the army, the great magic Alexei had prepared had been ready since then and was waiting for the right moment to cast. Nowisthetime.
"Holy Magic: ****light of heavenly judgment****!" Shouted Alexei.
A white-to-blue laser light emerged from that super-large magic circle and attacked Tortoise. All the soldiers were amazed by this great magic. They had never seen anything like this, even the new heroes saw something like this. The light struck Tortoise's face with great force and cancelled out the attack Tortoise had prepared.
*Graooorr........
Tortoise screamed in pain and was angry because of it. To him, it was an insult because humans like them could do something like this to him. The attack will not end. From the very beginning, there were two others who were preparing his strength. Takatsumi who had already accumulated a large amount of energy opened his eyes wide. His sword had changed, becoming a legendary holy sword, Excalibur.
The sword was covered in golden light due to the energy it had accumulated in large quantities. From quite a distance away, Takatsumi swung the sword from the bottom up and a blade of light emerged from the ground, throwing Tortoise's head into the sky.
Because of the blow, Scythe Marcel sliced deeper into Tortoise's neck and had already reached half the thickness of his neck. It's still not enough. Argo, Nadia and Nanami couldn't stand by and watch.
Nadia and Argo attack Tortoise's neck randomly with their powerful strength and help Marcel's Crescent slice deeper and deeper. On the other hand, Nanami tied her whip at the Marcel Crescent and pulled it down. Takatsumi changed his grip and stuck it to the ground.
"Haaarrrggghhhhh...!!" Takatsumi.
The surrounding ground began to crack and the crack continued to travel all the way to the front of the Tortoise shell. A sword-shaped burst of light emerged from under the Tortoise shell and slowly, Tortoise shot up into the air.
"Is this the real power of the holy hero?" Murmured one of the soldiers from a distance.
"Haha... Although we have far more war experience than them, but their strength is very far from the grasp of ordinary humans..." Alexei Murmuring.
No one in the world can imagine that there is anything that can lift a Tortoise into the air, even if it is a little. But here, Takatsumi can lift a bit of the front body of the Tortoise into the air. Although he was unable to do so until he flew it, he should at least make Tortoise stare at the sky.
"Urghs! Another bit..." Takumi murmured, blood started to come out of his mouth.
Although this strength was extremely powerful, it did not mean that he did not receive any side effects. That power weighed heavily on his body, so this was not something that could be used repeatedly.
Aland who was pressing down on Marcel's Crescent blade began to descend and stand under Tortoise's head. He extended both his hands into the air along with his hammer and used a skill.
"War Hammer!" His shouting.
His giant hammer made of Mana slid down from within the ground and struck Tortoise's neck and managed to make him stare at the sky.
"The requirements have been met, do it now, Takumi...!!" Shouted Takatsumi, to someone not far behind him.
Takumi who was gathering strength in his spear that was parallel to him started to open his eyes wide. A green line formed on his eyelids. Takumi raised his spear high and activated his power...
"Spear.... Judgment..." Mumbled.
A gigantic green spear appeared from above the sky. The sight made everyone who witnessed it tremble in fear as well as indescribable admiration with words. Such power was far beyond the reach of ordinary human hands.
Takumi swung the Spear in his hand to the ground and the giant spear that descended from the sky followed him and pierced Tortoise's head without a doubt. Tortoise who stared directly at the spear was unable to do anything but surrender to receive the power of the Takumi Spear.
*Graaoowww.rr......
Tortoise's loud scream lasted the blink of an eye and his head had been pierced and pierced through by Takumi's Spear of Judgment. Although perhaps Tortoise had already been made sure to die with such a powerful attack, the Heroes had to still chop off his head in order for him to actually die.
"Calamity Claw!" Shouted Nadia, swinging her clawed kedia and slicing within Tortoise's neck.
"The explosion!" Shouted Argo, a light slash appeared and cut Tortoise's neck in a single strike.
The blood that might just be able to make a sea of blood come out of Tortoise's severed neck. It was completely cut into two pieces. Everyone he froze, they did not even believe that this was truly their victory.
"K-we won... Don't you?" Murmured one of the knights.
"H-Hurray!!" Cheers after cheers emerged from the soldiers.
There were some of them who were embracing each other very happily and there were some of them moved and cried happily. Miracles actually happened right before their eyes. Hazama and Petra who had killed the giant Bats breathed a sigh of relief.
"Ohuh! it was exhausting to use that spear at my level which was still in the mid-eight hundred." Takumi said, relaxing himself and letting his body lie on the ground.
Takumi looked at the sky whose clouds were hollow due to the power of his spear. He was grateful that he could still stare at the beautiful sky after this fight.
"Oh yeah, I remember about Rigel who wasn't sure that Tortoise wouldn't die with just his head chopped off... Is it possible that he just misjudged?" Takumi Mumbled. "Well, let... About what Yuri was doing in the Region huh..." Takumi Mumbled.
On the other hand, the exhausted Takatsumi sat on the ground and breathed in from exhaustion.
"Huh, it turns out it's a lot easier than I thought." Aland.
"You're right, I haven't even deployed all my strength here. Looks like the fight ahead will also be easier than this..." Argo said arrogantly.
"Well, maybe the Hydra that cowards beat is easier than this." Marcel.
They began to say arrogant words that underestimated the power of Tortoise. On the other hand Nadia seemed to doubt something. Just as Takumi was in the distance, Nadia was reminded of Rigel's previous words. Even this victory felt a little strange to Nadia. If Tortoise can die just like iki, the heroes of the past can defeat him.
'It's weird... On the one hand, I really wanted to acknowledge this victory but on the other hand, my instincts said it wasn't really over yet. However, what kind of feeling was this...' Inner Nadia, holding her chest, where her heart was.
With the arrogant words of Marcel and the others, they subconsciously awakened the Death Flag. An extremely strong aura of pressure appeared and made the heroes startled. Takumi who was lying on the ground even looked extremely horrified because of him.
On the other hand, where Hazama is, things are starting to get messy again. The soldiers who were hit by the Parasites started to attack the other soldiers again.
"What's going on?! shouldn't Tortoise be defeated?!" Hazama.
"Don't-don't...?!" petra said, staring at where Tortoise was.
The heroes who fought with Tortoise walked away from him and looked at him with fear. The meat where Tortoise's head was located earlier began to wriggle as if it wanted to explode. But in reality, his flesh actually formed a new head.
*Graowww.rr..........
Tortoise rose again from his death and roared loudly. The heroes trembled in surprise.
"O-oi, oii, what is Alexdi's image of a lie?!" Marcel.
"D-he, is he immortal or something...??" Argo.
Nadia is not wrong, her instincts are always on target. Rigel is right, Tortoise will not lose even if his head is cut off.
"You must be kidding me! Fucking monster!" Takatsumi cursed while trying to stand up.
Tortoise looked at the heroes, his face looked angry and looked demeaning to the heroes. On the other hand, Nanami was still near Tortoise, she was unable to escape due to being too afraid to do so. He fell to his knees, his legs trembling weakly, his face filled with fear.
*Graoowwrr......
Tortoise roared again and brought her face closer to Nanami's frightened face. Nanami can feel Tortoise's breath, she looks at each other with Tortoise.
"T-t-tol-ong..." Nanami said weakly.
Takumi quickly got up from the ground and ran over to Nanami. He passed by the other heroes who were just silently watching and doing nothing. Tortoise opened his mouth and was about to eat Nanami. Even though he has no teeth, but with his strength he is able to pulverize Nanami.
"Nanami!!" Takumi yelled and jumped towards Nanami to save her.
Nanami stared at Takumi with tears flooding her face and said "T-help me, Takumi." With a trembling and weak voice.
*crush!
Takumi was wide in shock, right in front of his eyes, someone died. Tortoise bit off half of Nanami's body and swallowed her. Nanami's blood splashed on Takumi's face, her eyes widened in shock. The face Nanami made last time, her voice was asking for help, and the fear on her face was the same Exact as Tessia. Again, he let someone die right in front of him.
"Kuh! what a hero if I save a girl I can't!" Takumi cursed, while lying on the ground.
Tortoise looked at Takumi, he looked very happy to see Takumi's suffering from not being able to help his partner. Tortoise raised his left leg, next, he was about to kill Takumi by celebrating with the ground.
"Oflock! get out of there!" Takatsumi Shouts.
Free, Takatsumi's voice no longer reached Takumi's ears. He was too desperate to hear and notice the circumstances around him. Tortoise's foot was directly above Takumi, everyone thought Takumi would be the next victim. Yet...
"GUNSHOT!!" Shouted the voice of someone from the forest who was right behind Takatsumi.
*bombs, Bombs.........
"That, Basoka?!" Aland said in shock.
Two Basoka bullets launched and hit both Tortoise eyeballs.
*Biz.......
*Graoowww......
Tortoise groaned in pain and his legs stepped back. Someone jumped towards Takumi and took him away from there. Takumi looked at the person in confusion.
"You, Ozaru? why are you here?" Takumi asked confusedly.
"We'll talk about that later, now we need to get away from here." Ozaru said as he took Takumi away. "You stupid monkeys get out of here too!" Ozaru continues to the other heroes.
Tortoise was trying to bring out her power because she sensed someone who could actually threaten her. But before he could move freely, bullet after bullet came raining down on him from the forest.
"Such a firearm can only be created by Rigel, what is his army doing here? what made him change his mind and help us? " Takatsumi said confusedly.
He has no time to think. For now the best option for the hero is to follow Ozaru's direction to get away from here immediately. Takatsumi gazed towards the corpse Nanami was in, at a glance he saw someone take the corpse away. But the dust fog covered it instantly so Takatsumi did not know who it was. This fight will enter the second round!
