Imdiately after all the golems were deployed, Takeda wasted no ti sending his full force at them, intent on cutting them down and crushing Alec’s confidence.
Though he had to admit he was shocked by the lineup of golems before him, because he had been expecting only the ice golems he had seen in the last battle , Titan, and two of his Captain ranked golems—Bulwark and Glacius.
But no matter how much the battlefield had changed, Takeda still believed he held the advantage, and that he would not lose.
The Earth Takeda moved first, as he swung his earth-forged axe, but before he could follow through with a backhand strike from his left hand, Titan had already appeared in front of him, raising his own left arm which carried the shield to block and disrupt most of his movent.
The chilling force from Titan’s shield tried to seep into the Earth Takeda’s body, but he refused to be intimidated. Instead, he drove forward with his left shoulder, pushing Titan back and displaying the sheer strength of his physique.
Just as he was about to continue his offensive montum, he could sense the Wind Takeda coming at him at a fast speed, before the Wind takeda avatar even reached him, he had already sensed its mana frequency through his ntal sense, which he had spread across the battlefield around him.
He imdiately turned and tried to raise his left hand to help the Wind Takeda cushion the impact, but then he noticed a serious problem, even trying to move that hand had beco incredibly difficult.
That was when he looked down and saw that the area where Titan’s ice shield had struck him was completely frozen, he could not help wondering when it had happened.
He was certain he had eventually overpowered Titan in the final monts, but while he was still lost in that thought, the Wind Takeda slamd into him, sending both of them crashing straight down at terrifying speed.
Boom!
They smashed into the ground, while Titan turned in ti to see Butcher, whose body was reforming after countless streaks of lightning had converged back together.
“I’ll take them on,” Butcher said, his axe resting on his shoulder.
“Lightning is weak against earth. I’ve got this covered,” however Titan’s statent stopped any idea he might have of taking them both.
Butcher wanted to argue that he was far stronger, to the point where elental weakness would not be a problem, then he saw two spiked maces form in Titan’s hands, while a full-face ice mask covered his face, leaving only his eyes visible through narrow slits.
And before Butcher could say another word, Titan had already flown straight to the ground to finish up, which made start to look around for another target.
As he turned, he saw Oni driving a curved blade into the chest of Shadow Takeda, while another two hands held the avatar’s face , another holding on to his hands in place, ensuring that he kept eye contact as the blade plunged deeper.
It was a terrible matchup.
Shadow Takeda wielded a dark scythe and relied on dark elental attacks, while Oni also had dark affinity and fought with a scythe of his own, but that was not all, he could also use soul spells.
Once they clashed, it was no longer about realm alone, it beca a contest of mastery, and the better master would decide the winner, unfortunately for the Shadow avatar, Oni was a master of the scythe due to the system rewarding experience to further improve the golems weapon mastery.
His skill pushed the dark avatar to the brink, leaving him unable to do much beyond casting dark elental spells, that was where his real trouble began.
Oni took control of certain spells and turned them against him with the Life Drain spell, slowly siphoning away a portion of his essence each ti it was used, this energy was used to heal him and get him back to top condition while Dark Takeda couldn’t match up.
Forced to stop using dark elents altogether, the Shadow avatar quickly realized he could not even defeat Oni in that aspect, as his spells only backfired on him.
Before long, he ran out of options, and with six hands wielding weapons far too fast for him to withstand, he was killed, it was just like the matchup between Butcher and the Wind Takeda, the kind of battle that was dood from the start.
Butcher was a storm-evolved golem, though while lightning was his most recognizable trait, storm manipulation was also his core awakened power, which can also be seen as part of his true strength— and storm was an advanced sub-ability derived from the wind elent.
Whenever the Wind Takeda attempted to cast a spell or launch an attack infused with wind, all Butcher needed to do was extend his hand and activate the Disperse spell, and instantly, the wind-based energy would collapse before it could even reach him.
If it was a physical attack augnted by wind, the mont that enhancent was stripped away, the attack weakened significantly, allowing Butcher to shatter it with a single swing.
Seeing this advantage, Butcher swiped his left hand again, casting Disperse more forcefully, this ti, it didn’t just cancel an incoming attack, it disrupted the surrounding wind particles entirely.
For a brief mont, the Wind Takeda was forced into a state where casting wind spells beca extrely difficult, as the surrounding wind elental particles in the air had been scattered, leaving him without proper support.
He could still cast a spell, but it would require far more effort, and the resulting spells would be noticeably weaker, with his elental advantage suppressed, the Wind avatar was forced to rely purely on Qi.
And against Butcher, who was already blitzing forward like a bolt of thousand lightning, that wasn’t enough, so all he could do was raise a defense, as the massive two-handed thunder axe crashed into his ribs—
—and sent him flying.
anwhile, as the Dark avatar of Takeda fell, its body began to disintegrate into black particles, those particles drifted through the air, drawn toward the Progenitor Takeda, who still hovered calmly with his hands behind his back.
As they neared him, he extended his left hand, while the particles condensed—Forming what looked like a dark, crystalline power stone, its color reflecting the essence of the shadow elent the avatar had wielded.
Right before the eyes of Butcher and Oni, who had just witnessed the avatar’s destruction, Takeda brought the stone to his mouth—
—and swallowed it, as both of them frowned imdiately, not liking the developnt of things.
In the next instant—Takeda’s body erupted with dark energy.
