The golden heart flickered. The connection between Batista and the gods weakened.

"Finish him, Aurora." The black cat's deep voice echoed.

"Gladly."

All the clear Death Ice snowflakes in the air pointed at Batista. The skeletal elk used all of her power to push Lightstorm to the maximum of its potential.

The Whitestorm slowed Batista down and dealt Death Ice damage to him. The Lightstorm pierced into Batista bodies and turned him into a sponge.

Without Fate, he was no longer able to withstand the devastating power of Aurora. A Psychic was not specialized in durability. And Batista wasn't a Psycho-Blade User or that he did develop his body.

The first member of the Von Schattenberg was no more.

Arturo slammed into Bash. The heavy armored Psychic came into contact with the huge body of the Infernal Demon.

Surprisingly enough, Bash was the one that got pushed back. His large feet scraped on the highway.

"You very strong." Bash breathed heavily.

Arturo aimed his large sword at him. "You made a mistake attacking me. Slash of the Believer!"

Arturo struck at Bash. A broad golden sword beam shot out. Bash raised his hands and ate the entire attack.

It left a mark on his exoskeleton but was unable to penetrate further.

Arturo widened his eyes. He was also a second rank Psychic but with the Fate Armor, he was supposed to rival a third rank. This demon had survived his strongest attack.

"Hehe. It's time to die."

Bash stepped one foot forward. He used Carrying Wind, Omnimotion, and his own Charge Spell at the same time. The demon rushed at Arturo like a bullet train.

Bash was so quick that Arturo could barely avoid him.

But Solarix was there.

"Hellfire's Sealed Pit!" The Hellfire Chains shot out and kept Arturo in place.

He managed to cut off the chains in a split second. But that was enough for Bash to reach Arturo.

Bash slammed at the Gold Armor Von Schattenberg and broke through several concrete wall of a high way bridge. Then he grabbed him tightly and shot straight up.

Bash and Arturo burst out from under the bridge and flew higher.

"Get off me!"

Arturo reached his hand out and recalled the gold sword.

"Infernal Rays!"

Just before the gold sword reached Arturo, Solarix blasted it off with her Hellfire Beam. The sword flew away along with the hope of Arturo surviving.

Bash held him tightly and growled, "Die!"

He put Arturo at the bottom and activated Slam. The two of them shot down like a comet, causing bright orange heat to wrap around them.

They landed on the highway and created a huge explosion. The entire area was shaken.

The second member of the Von Schattenberg was executed.

The only surviving member was Lalo.

Three-eyed Lalo exchanged blows with Crow. The possessed being had to admit that the Abomination he was fighting with had sublime combat skills.

Usually Abominations were mindless creatures that only knew corrupting and destroying. But this one was different. It calculated every move they exchanged.

Lalo noticed a gap in Crow's defense and pierced the sword forward.

Crow slipped by a tiny strand of hair and thrust the Nether Spear at Lalo. Lalo kept his distance well and managed to not get hit by the tip of the spear.

Suddenly, the spear extended and shot straight at Lalo's stomach.

Lalo released one of the hands on the sword and slapped the spear away.

The Nether Spider jumped on top of him and thrust a second spear at his neck.

"Tch!" Lalo clicked his tongue. He released his weapon and backed off. "This body is useless."

Crow and the Nether Spider both released their weapons. They gained momentum and shot at Lalo.

The three-eyed Fate User was still able to dodge those projectiles and kept a safe distance.

Many more Nether Weapons appeared and shot at him.

Crow used this chance to look into Lalo's eyes. Their gaze met.

"Psycho-Break!"

"Mental attack?!" Lalo hurriedly closed his eyes. But it was too late.

The Chaos flooded into him and terror took over his mind. He would not afraid of such weak mind trick. But this body was frail. The stronger their mind was, the more he could use his power.

But the mind of the host was his weakness.

Lalo grabbed his head and groaned in pain. The connection between Lalo and the Fate User grew fainter.

Crow and Nether Spider did not waste this chance. They approached him in a blink.

Crow kicked Lalo's stomach, causing him to crumble. The Nether Spider vaulted over Crow's shoulder and delivered a beautiful spinning kick in mid-air, sending Lalo head to the ground.

Each of them pinned one half of Lalo onto the ground.

"You can't beat me!" Lalo's Fate blasted out of him and pushed the Abominations back. But they resisted it and kept pinning Lalo.

"Psycho-Break!" Crow used another mental attack. This time his eyes were as close to Lalo's eyes as possible.

Terror flooded Lalo as he began to drool non-stop.

"The Holy City will not... forgive you." The being managed to spit out one final city.

"We'll be waiting for you here."

Crow continued to destroy Lalo's mind with Psycho-Break. Finally, his connection with the Fate User was cut off. The third eye disappeared and Lalo returned to being the master of this body.

He gasped heavily and cried pathetically.

"Please! Let me go! Please!"

Crow squeezed Lalo's neck. "Remember me, Lalo?"

"You... YOU?! Lee Bake-un..."

"You killed me, you remember?"

"I didn't mean to..." Lalo coughed repeatedly because his airway was blocked.

"Letting you die peacefully would be too easy." Crow laughed darkly. He was the only normal one among the crew. But now, he also had his own villain laugh.

The Nether Spider summoned a Nether Dagger and stabbed into Lalo's knee.

The prince of the Von Schattenberg screamed again.

"You think you can mess with our Lady?"

"What are you talking about?" Lalo tried his best to speak.

"Selina Isles. You should know your place, Lalo. If it was just me, I would have let you die quickly."

The Nether Spider continued to stab Lalo in his most private spots. He was flooded by excruciating pain.

People said revenge wouldn't change anything. But Crow begged the differ. Revenge gave him a good fucking laugh.
