The Eternal Dome shattered into a thousand fragments of golden light!

But that one-tenth of a second was enough for Levi to move!

"Crimson Thunder Step!"

"Crackle!"

He transformed into lightning once more, phasing through the flames themselves!

The hellfire was simply too fast, even his lightning form couldn't completely avoid it.

"SIZZLE!"

Levi's body reformed three meters away, but his entire left side was burned. His combat suit had protected most of his torso, but his exposed face and arm looked like charred meat. His hair was completely burned away on one side, the skin of his cheek blackened and Cracking. The smell of cooked flesh filled the air.

Steam erupted from Levi's wounds as his regeneration kicked in, but even his enhanced healing struggled with burns this severe. The damage was too extensive, the demonic energy in the flames actively fighting against his recovery.

Behind him, Aldric cursed and activated his strongest attack!

"Frozen Sovereign's Decree: Glacial Palace Frost Blade!"

"WHOOOOSH!"

Ice energy condensed in the air above Aldric, forming into another massive blade, this one even larger than before. Over a hundred meters long, fifty meters wide, the weapon looked less like a sword and more like a falling glacier.

The blade descended toward the demon with an astonishing momentum!

"SLASH!"

But the demon's serpent head had been tracking Aldric's movements. Its crystallized blood eyes glowed, and suddenly a massive spectral claw formed from pure demonic energy, also over a hundred meters long, covered in pure hellflame!

The claw swept upward to meet the descending ice blade!

"KA-BOOOM!"

When the two attacks collided and space shattered.

A mushroom cloud of steam and energy exploded outward, creating shockwaves that flattened everything within three hundred meters! The ground liquefied from the temperature extremes, frozen solid by ice, then superheated by fire, then frozen again in rapid succession until the very stone shattered from thermal stress!

Students across the battlefield were sent flying! Those who couldn't brace themselves in time were thrown like ragdolls, tumbling hundreds of meters before crashing into buildings or mountains!

Aldric's ice blade shattered, fragments of frozen energy raining down like hail!

But the demon's claw also dissipated, unable to maintain cohesion after such a devastating collision!

The demon roared in frustration, all five heads screaming their rage as their speed slowed down slightly.

Then its attention snapped back to Levi.

And it moved.

"BOOM!"

This time it didn't teleport through space, it simply charged, moving so fast it left a crater where it had been standing and a sonic boom in its wake!

The demon's eight arms spread wide, each claw leaving trails of crimson energy through the air. Its blade-wings folded back aerodynamically, increasing its speed even further!

It closed the distance in a heartbeat!

Levi barely had time to bring his saber up in a before—

"CLANG!"

Four of the demon's claws struck his blade simultaneously!

Levi's feet drove into the ground up to his knees! The earth beneath him shattered into a thirty-meter crater! His arms trembled from the impact, his bones creaking as though about to shatter.

"Crack!"

But deflecting four claws meant the other four were free to attack!

"SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!"

The demon's remaining hands struck Levi's body in rapid succession!

His Galactic Guardian Suit absorbed what it could, but even a Tier-III relic had limits! The Kinetic Absorption ability stored twenty percent of each impact, but that meant eighty percent still got through!

"Crack! Crack! Crack!"

Levi's ribs shattered again!

His right shoulder instantly dislocated!

Deep gashes opened across his chest, abdomen, and thighs. Blood could be seen specious from his pores as his veins burst from the force.

But even as his body was in the verge of death, Levi's body was already healing! Steam rose from every wound, flesh knitting back together even as new injuries opened beside them! His regeneration and the demon's attacks were competing against each other.

The demon's two human heads smiled, the male in manic joy, the female in painful ecstasy.

"Such fascinating vitality! Your bloodline is really remarkable!"

The words emerged from both human mouths simultaneously, creating an eerie stereo effect.

Levi didn't waste breath responding.

Instead, he exploded another golden Astra energy drop!

"BOOM!"

Power flooded his body, his aura spiking dramatically! His muscles, already enhanced by Divine Tiger Thunder Might, bulged even further! Golden lightning replaced the crimson, Crackling across his skin like living serpents!

His eyes blazed with pure golden light!

"Star Annihilation Slash!"

"WENG!"

His saber turned pitch black as dark energy swirled around it, consuming all light in its vicinity! The blade became a void in reality, a conceptual absence that attracted and annihilated everything near it!

Levi swung with all his might!

"SLASH!"

The blade carved through the air, leaving a trail of absolute nothingness! Where it passed, space itself Cracked, hairline fractures appearing in reality's fabric!

The attack slammed into the demon's chest!

"BOOM!"

The impact created a shockwave that cleared the dust for half a kilometer in every direction! Buildings already damaged were now completely demolished! The very ground buckled and heaved like ocean waves!

The demon was actually driven back, its feet carving twin trenches through solid stone as it slid backward thirty meters!

A massive gash opened across its chest, black blood spraying out in a fountain!

But even as Levi watched, the wound began to close. The demon's regeneration was nearly as absurd as his own, the deep cut that should have been fatal was already knitting back together, black blood evaporating and being reabsorbed.

"HAHAHA! INTERESTING FOR A PUNT HUMAN!"

The demon's bull head released a snort that created a visible shockwave! Steam billowed from its nostrils, and its eyes blazed with renewed fury!

Then it moved, faster than before!

"BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!"

It was moving so quickly that it left multiple afterimages, creating the illusion of dozens of demons attacking simultaneously!

Levi's danger sense screamed, but even knowing attacks were coming didn't mean he could dodge them all!

"Luna! Energy Beam!"

"Squeak!"

Luna's small form shot out from Levi's pocket! Her eyes blazed with golden light, and twin beams of concentrated energy erupted from her pupils!

"BZZT! BZZT!"

The beams struck two of the demon's heads, the tiger and the serpent, burning through their eyes!

"ROOOAAAAAR!"

The demon was caught off guard as it burned through its skull.

But the distraction bought Levi a second!

He activated Crimson Thunder Step at maximum power, detonating another golden drop simultaneously!

"Crackle!"

He transformed into pure golden lightning, his form becoming intangible for a brief moment!

The demon's eight claws swept through empty space, missing him by microseconds!

Levi reformed fifty meters away, his body already healing from the previous injuries. But his face was pale, he'd now used six of his precious golden Astra drops. He only had four remaining, and each one he used brought him closer to completely destroying his meridians.

The demon turned toward him, four of its five heads now tracking him.

"Let's see if you can run forever!"

Levi was incredibly tired. His breathing was heavy, his movements even slower than before. The constant regeneration was draining his stamina, and using his golden drops was burning through his meridians at a rapid pace.

"Don't just stand there! Assist him!"

Aldric's voice cut through the battlefield once more! The number-one student's silver hair whipped around his face, his eyes blazing with determination.

"If we don't stop this demon now, he would only come back to kill is all. Use your strongest attacks. Our only chance is overwhelming it together!"

The seventh-ranked student, the green-haired girl, created more massive vines, these ones glowing with a sickly purple color. "Venomous Coiling Vines!"

"BOOM!"

The vines wrapped around the demon's legs, and this time when they constricted, poison seeped into its flesh! The demon's movements immediately became more sluggish as the toxin spread through its system!

The fourth-ranked student with golden armor charged forward again, but this time he coordinated with others. "Golden Assault Formation!"

Three other students moved in perfect synchronization with him, one from the left, one from the right, one from above. Their attacks were timed to land simultaneously, preventing the demon from dodging or blocking them all!

"BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!"

Four devastating strikes hit the demon from four different angles!

The creature staggered, its attention finally pulled away from Levi as it was forced to defend against multiple threats!

Aldric took advantage of the opening! His hands blurred through seals so fast they were nearly invisible, and ice energy condensed around him in overwhelming quantities!

"Frozen Domain: Glacial Coffin!"

"Crack! Crack! Crack!"

Ice exploded from the ground around the demon, forming walls on all sides! The walls grew rapidly, reaching thirty meters high in seconds, then began to close inward like a crushing vice!

More students added their power to the formation!

A student with gravity manipulation increased the weight pressing down on the demon by a hundred times!

A lightning-specialized student called down a barrage of thunderbolts that struck continuously, preventing the demon from gathering its strength!

A wind-user created a tornado that lifted debris and turned it into high-speed projectiles!

For thirty seconds, the combined assault of all the top students created absolute chaos! Explosions overlapped, elemental energies mixed and amplified, and the demon was buried under a mountain of attacks!

The ice coffin finally closed completely, encasing the demon in a block of frozen energy fifty meters on each side!
