"Third attack, skinny buffalo! Use all your strength!"

Kenan challenged and opened his arms, truly daring Shodam's final attack.

Shodam was furious; everyone couldn't believe Kenan was still alive despite his wounds. Aeera couldn't bear to see Lord Kalandra attacked without being able to fight back.

The sky darkened completely, and solar energy flared like an eclipse. The sun darkened and injected dark energy into Shodam's body. Shodam's body released a tremendous amount of energy. Shodam had been humiliated; he didn't care if his body was destroyed by the effects of the demon pill. The demon race had been humiliated; this was a matter of pride for the demon race.

Shodam gambled with his final attack: death or destruction of the human body. If he died, it was his own decision.

Woossshh!

The energy grew denser, filling Shodam's entire body, his body ablaze. The energy created utter chaos, and the winds collided. It was difficult to see as Shodam was preparing his final ultimate energy.

"I'll bet, human! If you're destroyed, you'll have only yourself to blame. However, if you survive, you might just be a mortal who can rival my king, Horus!"

Kenan smiled, "Come, I'm ready, Shodam the bald buffalo!"

Energy concentrated from Shodam's body, flowing and solidifying in Shodam's hand, which held his proud hammer. The energy gathered, night and day seeming to spin rapidly, surrounding the burning energy that condensed around Shodam's body.

Energy gathered.

"Be destroyed, arrogant human!"

Shodam shot out with great force. Kenan witnessed the deadly attack. He no longer feared intimidation, no longer feared all the things that had shadowed his life. He raised both hands and blocked Shodam's strongest ultimate attack.

"Legendary Ultimate Minotour Saga!"

Shodam's shout was accompanied by a blinding bolt of energy. The chaotic winds collided, and all eyes saw the powerful clash of energies. In fact, the monster army retreated to avoid being hit by Shodam's powerful energy wave.

BOOOOOOM!

BOOOOOOOOOOM!

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMM!

The energy exploded, the pressure continuing to swell and blow everything away. Aeera was still gripped by Cyton's hand, which was filled with energy, pressing down on her neck.

"Your beloved summoned creature, it's definitely dead! I myself would probably be seriously injured if I were hit by Shodam's life-and-death ultimate attack!" Cyton said, watching the energy flares destroying the ground beneath Kenan's feet.

BOOOOM!

The ground scattered like lava from a volcanic eruption, creating a wave of energy that sank deeper into the ground. The energy sank deeper into the ground, and utter destruction ensued.

BOOOOOOOOMMM!

The explosion ended, the mist began to dissipate, and Shodam appeared to be floating in the air, visibly exhausted. Shodam's body was injured,d and he looked exhausted; he had exhausted all his demonic energy to an extreme degree. It was a gamble on a demon's pride. If he couldn't hold back his power any longer, he might be destroyed by the ultimate power he had unleashed. He had already taken the risk.

However, Shodam wondered, had the summoned human been destroyed?

A giant crater formed, leaving a thin layer of smoke covering the giant hole caused by Shodam's final attack. Shodam was still curious; he had to see before death came to him. This was the most important gamble of his life; he had to know if the human was destroyed or still alive.

A figure began to emerge, most of it covered in dirt. Half of Kenan's body was buried beneath the ground, and he was deep in the ground. Kenan's body appeared motionless, with both hands buried in the ground. He remained motionless.

"Lord... Lord Kalandra!" Aeera screamed, unable to restrain herself and trying to escape Cyton's grip. But she was powerless.

"Please, Lord Kalandra, don't die... I regret summoning you. This is all because of me...!"

Aeera's tears could not be held back;k, she wept.

The sky was sad, and the seven people accompanying her in their search for the legendary Thunder Sword could only stand in silence. Was the defeat of Kalandra, the summoned creature, meaning their struggle was no longer worthless? Did they truly have no hope of ever being free from the enslavement of demons and monsters?

Was it all in vain?

However, one person stepped forward among the seven protecting Aeera. She stepped forward, and it was Sera. She continued walking toward the giant basin that had crushed Kenan.

"What's wrong, human! Do you think there's still hope that the summoned creature will wake up?" Cyton insulted Sera.

And... Sera's eyes lit up as the silence of all beings focused on whether Kenan would still survive. Sera prepared energy in her hands, wondering what she would do.

And a shout accompanied Sera's swift movement, a signal was given, and Sera shot swiftly toward Cyton.

"Now's the time, Sera! Save Aeera!"

The shout came from Kenan. What was really happening?

***

The signal before the Shodam attack explosion.

As the Shodam attack energy came, Kenan looked at Sera. He nodded and signalled with his hand. He signalled by pointing his finger at Aeera, "Save Aeera while I create the signal." That was Kenan's final message with his finger. Sera understood.

***

"Save Aeera!" Kenan shouted as an explosion erupted from beneath Cyton. It was... a hand that shot out and struck Cyton swiftly.

BRUSH! Bug!

Whose hand was that?

Kenan, in the hollow, smiled. Luckily, with the remaining energy he had, he remembered a movie he had seen. One Dream, about a pirate who adventured with his team. He possesses rubber-like abilities that allow him to extend his body parts, so he was inspired by that.

When the explosion occurred, he deliberately dove and sank into the ground, piercing the ground with his hand and reaching beneath Cyton. His goal was to punch Cyton and give Sera a chance to save Aeera.

"Now, Sera!"

A powerful punch from Kenan's hand that appeared suddenly caught Cyton off guard and struck Cyton square in the chin. The powerful blow sent Cyton flying, sending Cyton flying, causing the energy holding Aeera to release. At that moment, Sera shot forward, caught Aeera, and darted to her comrades' side.

Mission accomplished.

Kenan retracted his hand and struggled to get up, his remaining divine mana very thin. However, he quickly recovered as Aeera was freed and able to share her mana energy with Kenan.

Kenan began to recover and rise, moving his head from side to side.

"It was torture to allow myself to be attacked without being able to fight back. When the handcuffs are removed, the strongest being will return to action. It's time for the heroes to strike again!"

Aeera couldn't contain her joy at seeing Lord Kalandra rise again.

Kenan saw Shodam struggling above him. It was time to end the fight. Kenan couldn't let Shodam leave. He shot off the ground, a powerful force pushing him into the air.

WOSH!

"Time for revenge! Rest in peace, Shodam!"

A giant punch of energy shot out and slammed into Shodam's body. Shodam exploded in midair. Kenan passed through it.

Kenan couldn't allow any more threats to Aeera. There was no mercy for criminals. They would commit more crimes if they were allowed to live. Farewell, Shodam. You've had enough evil in this world.

Kenan floated in the air and looked down at the remaining monster army.

Cyton hovered in front of his troops. He began to tremble, all his tricks foiled. Was their resistance over?

With no other choice, Cyton took out the two items he had obtained by holding the sorceress hostage. These two items had to be destroyed to prevent the humans from possessing the legendary weapon they sought.

Right!

Cyton released energy and smashed the two items together, destroying them.

No! Aeera's team hadn't anticipated what the monster was doing.

BOOOOOOOOMMM!

They were too late; a massive burst of energy exploded, sending Cyton backward.

Was it destroyed?

Ha... ha... ha...

Cyton laughed.

"Now, you have no hope!"

There was residual energy from the explosion of the two items Cyton destroyed. The energy started small and grew, and grew, and grew.

What happened? Everyone was confused. The massive energy suddenly entered the ground, causing a massive explosion.

BOOOOOOM!

Everyone retreated, including Kenan. What was happening?

From the ground, a powerful energy surged out, enveloping it. It was a large, flaming sword.

Was that the lightning sword they were looking for?

"Ha... ha... ha...!"

The sword laughed?

"I'm finally free! I've been imprisoned for over a thousand years. I'm free, I'm finally free!"
