*BOOM!* *BOOM!* *BOOM!* *BOOM!*

Out in the ocean near the southern tip of the continent, sounds of explosions echoed out.

Two persons were seen running along side each other while occasionally exchanging blows.

They were Kirin and Julio.

*BOOM!*

They leaped at each other and smashed their fists against the other’s. Kirin aimed a kick at Julio’s neck, which ducked under and aimed a palm strike at Kirin’s chin.

Kirin was hit, but he reduced the damage he took by jumping back at the moment of impact.

Julio chased after him and attacked him with a flying kick.

*BOOM!*

Kirin crossed his arms in front of him and blocked it, and then grabbed his ankle and slammed him on the water surface. Julio didn’t let that stop him as he performed a handstand and spun his body, flinging Kirin who was holding on to him.

Kirin twisted his body in the air and created a fireball in his hand and threw it. Julio jumped back and the ball of fire suddenly expanded before hitting the water surface.

*BOOM!*

Powerful shockwaves spread out and caused the temperature to rapidly increased.

“?!”

Julio was shocked when he saw Kirin shoot out of the steam with a bow made of flames in his hand.

“Sun Shot!”

He fired a flaming arrow at Julio, which parted the water and caused it to boil at the same time.

Julio leaped back and darkness gather at his finger tip. He used his fingers to form a gun and pointed it at the sun arrow.

“Dark Bullet!”

A shot of darkness was fired from his finger and charged towards the arrow.

*BOOM!*

Fire and darkness erupted as the two attacks clashed.

Julio ran on the water surface and continuously fired dark bullets at Kirin. Kirin avoided these bullets and returned fire with his bow.

Explosions echoed out as the two entered an intense shoot out with each other.

“How about this?!”

Julio jumped and darkness gathered around his arm and formed something like a gauntlet. The only difference, this gauntlet had 12 gun nozzles on it.

“Demon Machine Gun!”

Countless bullets were immediately fired from Julio’s gauntlet, piercing towards Kirin.

“Hmph.”

Kirin got rid if his bow and stretched his palm out in front him. A giant wall of flames appeared and blocked the bullets.

“Heh.”

Seeing that Julio transformed the gauntlet on his arm into a cannon.

“Devil Cannon!”

*BOOM!*

A blast of darkness hit and shattered the flame wall. However, Kirin wasn’t behind it.

“Hm?”

At that moment, something burst out of the water and attacked Julio. It was Kirin who held a golden dagger. Kirin stabbed the dagger into Julio’s shoulders.

“Sun Dagger, Ignite!”

*BOOM!*

Fire exploded inside Julio’s body and caused smoking to leak out of his orifices.

However, Julio surprisingly wrapped his arms around Kirin and held him in a bear hug.

“Got you.”

The moment he said that, his body began to lit up.

“Self-Destruct spell?”

“Right, and goodbye.”

*BOOOOOM!*

Julio exploded and caused a massive explosion that stretch for miles to devour Kirin.

When the explosion faded there was a massive depression in the sea that showed the sea bottom. The sea water slowly flowed back into place and returned everything to normal.

“………”

Once the sea was normal again, someone stuck their head out from underwater. It was Julio. He climbed out of the sea and stood on the water surface as if he had something solid to touch to climb out.

“Using a clone was a pretty good idea. Just like I thought he couldn't avoid it.”

He said, before frowning.

“Too bad that it didn’t have much affect.”

He turned around and looked behind him.

“Isn’t that right, Kirin?”

Kirin stood behind him with his clothes rugged, but no damage other than that.

“Surely you didn’t expect for something on that level to kill a Maharathi Class warrior like myself.”

“Well, I just couldn’t not try it. But as I thought, strategies and tactics are nothing in the face of almighty power.”

Julio laughed.

“But I was successful in making you draw one of your regalia.”

He pointed at the dagger Kirin was holding.

“That’s the Sun Dagger that Karna used to removed his skin like armor to offer it to Indra, isn’t it?”

“……”

Kirin remained silent because what Julio said was true. He summoned one of his many Regalia to inflict serious damage on him, that goes against what he said earlier of not using his Regalia.

“Sigh.”

He looked like he had given up on something.

“My apologizes. I shouldn’t have degraded you earlier.”

He apologized.

“As long as you understand.”

Julio said.

“Yeah. I understand perfectly.”

The atmosphere around Kirin changed. It became stifling and oppressive.

“I understand that I must use my full strength to destroy you.”

The ocean suddenly became rough and the sky became overcast. Julio watched as sacred water started swirling around Kirin arms. Kirin stretched his hand out and the water formed into a rifle.

This was the Hindu water god Varuna’s weapon Varunastra. A powerful water weapon that could take the form of anything like water. It’s power was said to be the personification of a storm itself.

“Shit.”

Julio cursed.

“Take this.”

*BOOM!*

Kirin fired the water rifle and released a powerful storm in the form of a bullet.

“I can't dodge this.”

Julio gathered darkness in his hands and shoot it like a cannon. The darkness clashed and was devoured by the storm bullet in an instant.

*BOOM!*

Julio was then hit head on. Whirlpools formed in the ocean as a country sinking storm was formed.

When the storm finally dissipated, Julio was seen floating in his back with body covered in wounds.

Kirin pointed the water rifle at him.

“Hm?”

However, at that moment he felt a sinister feeling cover the sea. He looked at Julio and saw his body engulfed in a dark light.

He opened his mouth and spoke.

“[I am the servant of the great demon king of hell; the lord of flies, the personification of sin. I am the third disciple who spreads his cruelty across the world and preach his word.”

A loud buzzing sound suddenly reached Kirin’s ears. He looked up and saw something black coming from the east covering the whole sky. It wasn't long before he could see what the black thing was.

“Flies?”

Thousands of flies covered the entire sky and block out the sun.

“[I am the third scripture in the book of Bael.]”

All the flies suddenly rushed down to the water surface; more specifically, Julio.

His body glowed as the flies devoured and meld with his body. After a few seconds, the flies all disappeared and left a demonic Julio behind.

His skin was dark, his hair was long and red, his eyes were jet black with several red spots in them, which gave the image of red stars in the night sky. He was dressed in a dark red armor that looked like it was made of bones, and finally there was a pair of fly wings on his back with the number “3” inside a skull on them.

“[Servant Of The Fly].”

With those words, Julio completed his spell and transformation.

Servant Of The Fly, this was an ability exclusive to the Black Scriptures who were also apostles to Zara. This form allows them to access the power of Beelzebub himself.

“Beelzebub’s power huh? I wonder how much help will that give you?”

Kirin changed his rifle into a Gatling gun. He aimed the gun and fired countless bullets at Julio.

Each bullet held the power of a storm or a hurricane.

“Heh.”

Julio stretched his hand out and the image of a skull appeared behind him.

“Fly Trap.”

The skull spread out and covered the entire area. It then opened it mouth and a overwhelming suction power came out of nowhere and sucked all of the bullets into the skull’s mouth.

“?!”

Kirin was shocked when he saw that.

“Say, Kirin.”

Julio stretched his arm to the side and an axe made of bones and darkness appeared in his hand.

“Is there a Regalia that can bring you from the dead?”

Julio rested the axe on his shoulder and asked.

He was covered with sinister aura like he was a demon god who just ventured on the mortal plane.

“Unfortunately, there’s none.”

Kirin put away Varunastra while answering.

“But I don’t think I need such a thing.”

He summon a crude looking bow in his hand.

Julio narrowed his eyes when he saw it.

“The one who needs that the most is you.”

He pulled the crude bow’s string and fired when the head changed into a wolf.

“Roar!”

When he did, a hideous monster wolf charged towards Julio. When the wolf’s feet touch the water, a pungent scent spread out and killing all of the marine life in the ocean for miles.

“A poison wolf.”

Julio charged towards the wolf and swung his axe.

The wolf was cut down the middle, but it didn’t stop there. The slash parted the ocean even cutting the ocean floor.

The slash continued towards Kirin who calmly pulled the bow again. The head of the bow changed from a wolf to a tortoise.

Suddenly a gigantic tortoise appeared in front of him and blocked the attack with its shell. The shell stopped it, but that shell was cut in two along with the tortoise.

“Tsk.”

Julio clicked his tongue when he saw that.

“So he is using Pashupatastra like I thought.”

Pashupatastra is the most destructive, powerful, irresistible weapon of all the weapons mentioned in the Hindu mythology. Pashupatastra is capable of destroying creation and vanquishing all beings. It was Shiva’s favorite weapon of destruction.

Every time it was summoned, its head would never be the same. It summons a larger number of monsters and a huge spirit which personifies the weapon Would destroy target completely, irrespective of the target's nature. This astra was capable of destroying whole world.

Although, it was unable to destroy Karna.

“Pashupatastra was used by Arjuna to fight Karna. I didn’t expect you to have it among your Arsenal. Although, some legends did state that Karna was also in possession of the weapon.”

Julio sighed.

“This was why I hate you guys from the Hindu Pantheon. Every god damn weapon you guys have are said to be peerless and capable of destroying everything. It’s so god damn annoying to deal with not to mention confusing since your myths always contradict itself.”

He said.

“That’s what makes it great.”

Kirin declared.

He pulled the bow, and a gigantic beast appeared behind him looking down on the world.

“Time for me to show how great we really are.”

He said.

‘That bastard is finally using Pashupatastra to its full strength.’

Julio thought to himself.

He could feel like endless waves of monstrous aura being released by the bow. He could tell that the destructive power it was about to release was enough to wipe him off this plane of his existence.

Julio Zebul didn’t have any chance of wining this fight or surviving.

“Well, Julio Zebul doesn’t.”

The moment he said that, the atmosphere around him changed.

“That doesn’t mean that “I” don't.”

Kirin watched as Julio surprisingly deactivated his apostle form.

“Looks like I have no choice.”

Julio who had his head down, slowly looked up at Kirin.

“?!”

It was as if Kirin’s body froze when he looked into Julio’s cold and merciless eyes. It was as if he was being looked at by the ultimate Class of demon.

“What I’m about show you is something that only a select amount of people have seen and lived. Not even Zara have seen this, because if I had shown him he would’ve killed me, because he would fear what I’ll become.”

Julio pointed at Kirin who was frozen in place, unable to move for reasons unknown to him.

“Unfortunately for you, you’ll have die after witnessing it.”

That’s when Kirin could feel the air tremble, he could tell that what was about to happen was terrifying.

And then-

“Yo.”

Someone suddenly appeared between them. It was Lennox.

When Julio spotted Lennox he relaxed his body signaling that he had no intention of attacking anymore.

Lennox realized that and looked at him with a smile.

“I see, so the third party was you, Julio Zebul.”

His body released and overwhelming pressure which began to suppress Julio.

He stretched his hand out and with a smile said-

“Welcome to the party.”
