“….Why did she let up in the last second?”

Luka looked at Bloom with confusion rather than a mocking or gloating expression.

“Did she take too much damage and her body gave out at the last moment?”

She shook her head.

“I definitely took more damage than her and I’m still fighting. That means something must’ve happened.”

She started thinking about what happened and soon came to a conclusion.

“Someone must’ve interfered in our fight without me knowing. But who?”

(Lulu, get out of there now.)

Ouroboros spoke in her mind and caused her to become alert. She didn’t hesitate and was about to take to the skies but it was already too late. A heavy pressure covered the area and rooted her to the spot she was in. She looked up and saw Jin floating in the air and looking down on her with the coldest eyes she’s ever seen.

“……..”

He looked at her and then at Bloom, who was on the ground, and silently descended and landed beside his queen. Splashing sounds reached his ears when landed causing him to look down and see his reflection in Bloom’s blood, that leaked out of her body. He silently stooped down and looked at the cut across her torso. Luka then saw his black hair turn gray and his skin lighten. She immediately remembered Edward telling her that Jin had multiple forms.

(This must be his real form…)

She thought. She didn’t even try to move, her instincts were telling her that running now will only make the situation worse.

Jin’s hand started glowing and he ran this hand over Bloom’s wound. Moments later, Bloom’s wound started closing and the bleeding stopped. Jin took another look at her face before standing up and started taking off his jacket.

“It won’t completely heal you but at least your life shouldn’t be in danger anymore.”

He placed the jacket over her body and then walked away from her. Immediately after she was wrapped in a sphere of black flames.

“Just lay there and rest. I handle the rest.”

A suffocating pressure descend on Luka as Jin started walking towards her, cracking his fingers.

“I’m not really in the shape to take someone like this on, but…”

She held her golden flame sword in front of her and pointed it at Jin.

“I’ll take you on.”

Jin’s body flickered and her appeared in front of her with black flames covering his fist. He threw a punch and Luka lifted her sword in front of her to block it.

*BAM!*

A blast of flames erupted between them. The black flames instantly devoured the golden flames and pierced through dozens of building leaving a fiery trail behind them.

“Cough! Cough!”

Luka coughed while she sitting on the ground leaning on a mountain of burning rubble. She looked at her hands and they were blue and purple from bruises. She could barely feel them.

“!”

She sensed danger and looked up and saw Jin above her. He threw another punch despite being dozens of meters above her. She used all of her strength to get out of there.

*BOOM!*

A large crater opened up where she was sitting moments before.

“What power!”

She shouted. She soon noticed that a large shadow was cast over her. She looked up and her eyes widened when she saw a building falling out of the sky. She flew as fast as she could to escape. The building fell and broke apart when it hit the ground. Shortly after she saw someone land on top of a newly formed rubble mountain. It was Axel, who had his iron staff in his hands.

“Is she the one?”

“That’s right.”

Jin answered.

“I see.”

The mountain of rubble started floating in the air.

“Then I’ll make sure to squash her.”

He swung his staff in front of him and the rubble fired at Luka like bullets out of a gun. She took to the skies and started doing everything she could do to evade all the rubble. That’s when Jin appeared in front of her with gray static coming off his fist. He threw a punch and gray lightning was fired at Luka, destroying all the rubble around her.

(I gotta dodge this!)

She shouted in her mind.

“Roar!”

A roar came from behind her causing her to glance behind her and see a gigantic electric gorilla throwing a punch at her.

“What the?!”

The gorilla’s fist clashed with the gray lightning causing a huge explosion. Luka who was the target of both attacks was somehow able to make out of there in time. She started flying at her max speed in an attempt to leave the area.

“You’re not getting out of this alive!”

Nico, who was at the center of the electric gorilla, shouted with bulging veins in his head and neck.

“I was ordered to lead the troops to destroy this city, but how can I carry out such an order when the one who hurt my queen is still alive?!”

The gorilla roared and fired a giant lightning bolt out of its mouth. Luka evaded it and continued flying.

“?!”

Her eyes widen when she saw a pillar of flames heading towards her. She clicked her tongue and maneuver out of its path without losing speed. She then saw a flaming humanoid bird chasing after her. Orbs of flames formed around Ryker and they started firing flame bullets at Luka like he was a fighter jet.

*Bam!**Bam!* *Bam!*

At the same time, a giant crystal spike burst out of the ground and almost skewered her from below. She looked down and saw Sapphire running on the ground creating more crystal spikes.

“Shit! Shit! Shit!”

Luka cursed while she used every fiber of her being to avoid the attacks that were coming her way.

“Super Sonic Cannon!”

*Bam!*

She was suddenly hit with a blast of sound which caused her body to freeze up. She looked and saw Chrome on a nearby building glaring at her with hatred.

“How dare you hurt her?! Burn in hell!”

Lightning, flames, sound, crystals, metal, various attacks came at Luka from all sides with her unable to do anything to protect herself.

*BAAM!*

Her figure was devoured by a huge explosion that rocked the entire city. When it faded a badly burnt figure fell out of the sky and fell on the ground. This was Luka, who was somehow still conscious. Her vision was blurry but she could see every member of silver crow surrounding her and looking down on her with bloodthirsty eyes. She could tell that they wanted to tear apart her limb by limb.

However, Luka was not the type of person to die without resisting to the very end.

(Like hell I’ll let you nobodies kill me!)

The infinity symbol in her eyes started spinning and power started flowing to every inch of her body.

*Bam!*

Magic power surged out of her body with so much intensity that Silver Crow had to retreat. They saw Luka’s entire body spasm like one big muscle. Her body then released a burst of electricity, and suddenly underwent rapid changes after reabsorbing it. Her scales turned yellow, her hair started glowing and looked like it was made out of lightning, her wings and tail also changed into lightning, and her body started giving off a bright glow as her skin started to look radiant.

“Dragonite: Elemental Form-Lightning Mode!”

A bright light flash and Luka disappeared from where she was.

*Bam!*

Chrome was suddenly hit by a lightning bolt and sent flying into a building. Another flash happened and Luka was seen standing not far away from them with sparks coming of her body.

“I originally planned to surprise Miko with the fact that I improved his technique when we got back, but you hypocritical bastards just had to piss me off."

Lightning bolts fell from the sky and danced around her.

“Huh? Bring it, bitch!”

Ryker flew towards her with flames dancing around his body. Luka moved with a sonic boom and hit him with a lightning bolt and sent flying back. She then charged at Sapphire who was the closest to her.

“Don’t even think about hurting her when I’m around.”

Jin cut in front of her and threw a kick coated with gray static. Luka blocked it and then thrust her tail at his neck but his body disappeared leaving a spark behind. He reappeared above and thrust his palm down. Suddenly she felt like she was being pressed down by a giant’s palm.

“This is…Gravity Manipulation?! Gray Lightning, Black Flames, healing magic, and now gravity?!”

She couldn’t understand why Jin could use so many unique abilities.

*Rumble!*

She looked to her sides and saw two buildings coming at her from her left and right simultaneously.

*BAM!

The buildings slammed into each other so hard that they exploded. A bolt of lightning which was Luka appeared in the sky after avoiding it. She spread her arms and dozens of lightning bolts rained down on the silver crow members.

“Roar!”

The electric gorilla roared and blocked the lightning bolts with its body. Jin then fired a pillar of black flames at her while Ryker did the same while diving down from above. Luka created an electric field around her and blocked the attacks.

“Ahhh!”

She saw Chrome use a sound blast and fire Sapphire into the air. Sapphire created a giant crystal hammer and swung down on Luka. Luka destroyed the hammer with a blast of lightning but was unable to stop Jin from blasting her with gray lightning. She was blown back a bit with a frown on her face.

“It’s really hard taking them all on. If only I had help-”

She was interrupted when she saw Axel dropping a building on her. She clicked her tongue and got ready to destroy it, despite knowing that they would attack her the moment she did. That’s when it happened.

*Slash!*

She saw the building get cut into two before her eyes. The buildings was then diced to pieces the next second. When this happened everyone paused because they didn’t know who did it.

“Ahhhh?!”

Suddenly they heard an agonizing scream and looked at the source. When they did they saw Ryker with multiple ugly cuts all over his body. He had even lost an arm and was kneeling on the ground trembling in pain.

“Shut up will ya?”

His head was then forced into the earth by the person who did it. Luka was delighted when she saw who it was.

“Hina!”

Hina stood with one foot stepping on Ryker’s head and a bloody katana in her hand, which she rested on her shoulder.

“So these are the guys who came here to kill my man? And now you’re ganging up on my friend as well?”

Hina showed a demented smile.

“You people really love thinking of elaborate ways to commit suicide, don’t you?”
