A few moments before upon the city on Emperor Island, the battle had begun as Natsu with Draco, Genbu, and Houou rages their battle against the large metal Ashura statue, their battle raging while destroying the houses nearby.
The people of Lingyue were all screaming and running in panic while the soldiers were evacuating them as fast as they could.
Draco coiled up the Ashura statue with his serpent body and wrapped its limbs tight while immobilizing its movement. Draco let out a roar at the statue before firing a direct lightning blast at the statue's face causing a direct explosion.
Before the result of the attack could been seen, the Ashura Statue's four arms started breaking through Draco's wrapping attack before grabbing hold of Draco's head and middle body then proceeds to swing the Dragon Celestial Spirit down to the town.
The smoke on the Ashura Statue's face blows away and reveals that Draco's attack didn't put a mark on it.
"as expected from the final guardian of Lingyue" said Genbu, knowing how powerful and strong the metal statue as it is the very guardian of Emperor Island upon a moment of crisis. As Genbu watch how powerful the Ashura guardian is, Houou came flying over him.
"it is no time to be proud of the guardian's power!" said Houou before the flames coating the immortal fire bird rages and shines brighter, Houo flaps her wings two times and sends a shower of flaming feathers down at the Ashura Statue which got bombarded with explosions. "Enbaku Ame!"
"Seems so!" said Genbu as the large Tortoise Celestial Spirit did a quick jump before hiding its head, tail, and legs inside the stone covered shell that started spinning from brown gusting air coming from the six holes then started spinning like a top that went straight at the metal Ashura statue and rams itself hard against the statue. "Kaiten-chi!"
The force of Genbu's spinning body attack hits the Ashura statue hard as it staggered back, giving Draco a chance to get out of its hold.
"Raime!" shouted Draco before firing a blast of lightning right at the Ashura Statue's body, causing a bigger explosion upon the Ashura Statue.
The Ashura staggers a few paces back as it soon fell to the city's buildings and crushed them all, before Genbu came down and slammed his entire body down on the Ashura, causing it to sink further to the ground.
"that should be enough" said Genbu as his head came out of his shell before he felt a shift on his cell as four large metal hands comes out bellow and grabs his shell, surprising the turtle spirit. "impossible!" Genbu's shell got lifted by the Ashura Statue bellow that has its head turn to the left side to reveal a raging face.
Genbu got lifted into the air before the Ashura statue rises from the ground then proceeds to throw large Tortoise spirit away, crashing him to the ground nearby.
"Houou!" shouted Draco as he is charging up high amounts of electricity in his jaws.
"I know!" Houou replied back as the Phoenix leans her head back before firing a violent stream of flames at the Ashura Statue as Draco also fired a powerful lightning stream.
The two of the Four Great Guardian Beasts' attack combined together and formed a stream of flames and lightning that barrages the Ashura Statue.
The Metal Statue getting pushed back from the combined attack of the two powerful Celestial Spirit before its four arms reached to its back and then swung forward to create a loud clap that dissipates the attack.
"just how much power does this guardian possess?!" exclaimed Draco as their attacks were giving small results.
"it comes!" said Houou as the Ashura Statue moves its hands in a waving dance motion before large metal swords appeared in its grasps. The Ashura Statue moves to strike its swords at the two spirits but got intercepted with barrages of large stone shards from Genbu that ceased its action.
"continue attacking!" exclaimed Genbu as the large Tortoise spirit continued to fire endless amounts of large stone shards from its back and right at the Ashura Statue that is taking paces back from the powerful rock based attack.
Draco and Houou zoom down as they continued to attack the Ashura Statue with lightning and flaming attacks while bellow, Natsu with Gildarts were in a battle of their own on the Stone Pedestal and against Orochi Ikaruga who is still under control by one of Yamata no Orochi's head.
The three were fighting in close-quarter combat as Natsu didn't want to hurt Ikaruga's body too much for her mind and body is being controlled. The two-man unleashed every single physical body attack that they know of against Orochi Ikaruga who is somehow able to block them with such ease.
"ho? Seems that this body is well versed in hand to hand combat, interesting" said Orochi Ikaruga in another voice while having a smirk as she dodged Natsu and Gildart's punches and kicks so easy. "and the pink haired one's aren't that powerful"
"hey, Natsu! don't just hold back because that snake is using her body! you want to get that thing out of her, right!?" exclaimed Gildarts as he sends a swinging kick at Orochi Ikaruga's side, but the woman blocked with a lifted knee and elbow combined before she uses Gildarts' leg to lift herself up and then kicks his face hard. "gah!"
Natsu clicked his tongue as he could defeat and kill any enemy with ease, but he has a hard time when this enemy is using his wife's body against him. The man dashes at Orochi Ikaruga as he sends a fury of punches and kicks at her, but the power behind his attack was so little and so slow that Orochi Ikaruga took simple back steps in dodging them.
"hard isn't it? Fighting against someone who is using the body of the one you love?" said Orochi Ikaruga with a chuckle and a smirk as Natsu glared at her before he spins his body 360 degree and sends a powerful swinging kick at her side, causing Orochi Ikaruga to grunt in pain. "guh!?"
Orochi Ikaruga crashed to the stone pedestal's floor as she rolled on it before she stopped and started coughing blood.
Realizing his action, Natsu looks in shock as he thought that his attack was so powerful that he might have accidently broken some of Orochi Ikaruga's bones in the result.
"N-Natsu…han…why.." muttered Orochi Ikaruga in her voice as she stares at Natsu with a sad frown. "why did you.."
"Ikaruga…i!" said Natsu as he took a step forward, but his eyes widen and he jumped away as Orochi Ikaruga fired a blast of water from her mouth in his direction.
"fufufu, seems that you aren't that weak after all" said Orochi Ikaruga in the other voice as she had just acted on getting hurt to get Natsu to let his guard down.
"damn that is dirty!" said Gildarts while getting to Natsu's side, the Crash Mage looking at Orochi Ikaruga who stood up and smirked at the two. "she's able to use water magic?"
"that wasn't magic, that was a passed down ability from the Emperor Lineage," said Natsu in explanation. "each descendant of Kaguya is able to use elemental ability with the cost of their Chi in their body, usually a person can only have one type of chi that produce a certain element, but for Ikaruga it's a different matter. She can use all 8 elements"
"that'll be problematic" said Gildarts as he sees Orochi Ikaruga doing several hand signs before she took a deep breath and fired a blast of wind from her mouth. "move!"
Natsu and Gildarts dodged the attack before they did a pincer attack on Orochi Ikaruga who jumped into the air while doing more hand signs. Orochi Ikaruga puffs her cheeks before she blows out hot vapor mist from her mouth.
"mist!?" said Gildarts as the mist started covering the whole area and clouded the two men's vision. "I can't see!"
"put your guard up! it's an assassination technique passed down from Ikaruga's father!" exclaimed Natsu to Gildarts before he looks to the side and sees Orochi Ikaruga coming at him with a lightning sword in her grasp.
Natsu clicked his tongue as he draws out Chitetsu before he and Orochi Ikaruga exchanged blows with one another. Chitetsu's blade clashes with the lighting sword's blade as flaming and flashing sparks fly in between them.
Gildarts hears the sound of static and metal clashing sound as he turns and sees flashes of Natsu and Orochi Ikaruga's silhouette nearby, both engaged in a weapon's combat.
"Natsu!" shouted Gildarts before he heard several footsteps near his other side, he turns and his eyes widen to see another Orochi Ikaruga appearing out of the mist. "Ikaruga?! But!?"
The other Orochi Ikaruga spins her body before swinging a powerful kick at Gildarts' side, catching the Crash Mage off guard.
"guh!" grunted Gildarts as he slides back from the powerful kick before he rubs his left shoulder that received the full blow of the kick. "how is she in two places at once?"
Before Gildarts could get an answer, three more Orochi Ikaruga appeared behind him and surprised the Crash mage.
"what the?!" shouted Gildarts in surprise as four Orochi Ikaruga sends a combined kick attack at the Crash Mage's chest. "gaah!" gasped Gildarts in pain before he was sent flying out of the mist and crashing to some houses down below.
Natsu who holds Chitetsu against Orochi Ikaruga's Lighting sword, hears Gildarts as he turns and sees another Orochi Ikaruga appearing behind him while wielding a flaming sword.
"Tch!" clicking his tongue, Natsu pushes away the Orochi Ikaruga wielding the lightning sword before he jumps away to dodge a flaming slash from the other.
Landing a few feet away, Natsu did several hand signs with both hands before he took a deep breath and blows out a heavy gust that blows the mist away in revealing 8 Orochi Ikaruga standing on the stone pedestal with him.
"the 8 Mirage attack technique," said Natsu with an annoyed look as the 8 Orochi Ikarugas wielding different element imbued swords, ranging from a water sword to a stone sword. Before long, the 8 women dashes towards Natsu in a group attack as the man wielding Chitetsu with both hands before he started to do some parrying attacks against the 8 Orochi Ikaruga.
The battle rages on as the three Celestial Spirits fights against the Ashura Statue while Natsu fights against Orochi Ikaruga in order to try and free her from Orochi's control. Meanwhile below, Gildarts got up from his crash as the Crash Mage rubs his head with his right hand.
"damn…I forgot just how fearsome women are" said Gildarts while slowly getting up and looks above to see flames, lightning, water, and wind blasting everywhere on top of the stone pedestal. "I don't know if that was magic or not, but Ikaruga being able to clone herself sounds out of the world"
Gildarts was about to climb up the stone pedestal to help Natsu fend Orochi Ikaruga off, but his attention is grabbed by the sight of the large stone cage at the very bottom and its stone occupants inside.
He took a closer look and sees that Orochi's petrified body remains the same even after passing minutes as he sees no sign of the petrification being undone or the stone cage breaking.
"it should've been cracking up for that thing when it's waking up," said Gildarts before he noticed a glowing purple line coming from inside the stone cage. He took a closer and sees that the glowing purple line is flowing from bellow Orochi and upwards the stone pedestal. "just what is this thing doing?"
Back to the fight above, Natsu pushes Chitetsu against a combined 6 sword attack from 6 Orochi Ikaruga before he got two more attacking from behind which he defends by bursting his body in flames with his magic then sends a flaming shockwave that blew the other Orochi Ikarugas away.
All the Orochi Ikaruga went to one area as they disappeared one by one, leaving only one Orochi Ikaruga left. Natsu was about to go on another attack when he sees the symbols on the stone pedestal glows a bright blackish violet color.
"this is!" said Natsu as Orochi Ikaruga laughed while she stands on the center of the pedestal, her hands slammed together in a hand sign. Natsu glares at Orochi Ikaruga or more directly in her mouth as he spotted the culprit who is controlling her. "Orochi!"
"I never planned to return to my original body, Daimou." Said Orochi Ikaruga with a chuckling laugh and a dark smirk. "I planned to take Kaguya's descendant's body in the first place! With this, I can never be sealed anymore!" as Orochi Ikaruga laughed out, giant astral spirits of 7 snakes rises out of the stone pedestal; each one slithering around the area.
"damnit!" exclaimed Natsu as he was about to attack when Chitetsu flew right out of his hand and into Orochi Ikaruga's grasp. "Chitetsu!?"
"this katana was forged from one of my broken fangs that was left behind centuries ago" said Orochi Ikaruga as her eyes slowly turned black and her pupils became reptilian snake like golden eyes while her mouth has snake like fangs growing within, but one fang is shorter than the other. "it's a part of me and I can wield it easily!"
The 7 astral snake spirits slithers around the two before they all rise and went directly into Orochi Ikaruga's body.
"hahahahaha!" Laughed Orochi Ikaruga in a dark tone as the skin on her face is getting covered in greenish black snake like scales, her kimono attire changing into that of a black and white skintight suit that is covered with a black vest on top while a black skirt on the bottom. The woman is enveloped in purple violet light. Natsu shielded his eyes from the bright light as it caught the attention of everyone nearby.
The stone pedestal's entire frame cracks before the entire platform instantly crumble down, along with the stone cage and the petrified Orochi statue inside of it.
"Orochi!" screamed Natsu as the salmon haired man jumps right at Orochi Ikaruga with a furious look, his hands ignited in flames from his magic.
Orochi Ikaruga smirks darkly at Natsu before she swung Chitetsu to the side, unleashing a powerful dark energy slash that hits Natsu's stomach hard.
"guh?!" grunted Natsu before Orochi Ikaruga appeared above him as she swung down her leg and sends the man crashing through the crumbling platform.
Natsu quickly got up as he jumped from the crumbling stone pedestal before he sensed something coming behind, he turns and his eyes widen to see Draco, Houou, and Genbu flying towards him before the three Celestial Spirits crashed to the crumbling stone pedestal and breaks through the ground because of their combined weight and made a large hole upon the center of the island.
"fufufu, should you be worried about their sake?" said a dark voice as Natsu's eyes widen as he swung his hand behind only to miss Orochi Ikaruga who plunged Chitetsu's blade through Natsu's heart and back.
Natsu's eyes quiver in shock before he coughs out a mouthful of blood while Orochi Ikaruga has a dark look in seeing his blood as she licks a few drops that stained her cheeks.
The three Celestial Spirits fell through the hole and so did Natsu with Orochi Ikaruga.
Upon the present time, Gray and the others watch in horror to see Natsu impaled with his own katana before he got swung and thrown to the side by Orochi Ikaruga whose body is fully controlled by Orochi inside of her.
"n-no..way.." muttered Lucy in horror and shock to see Natsu's body a few feet away from Orochi Ikaruga, the man is lifeless as blood is pooling out of his heart and mouth.
"fufufufu, this is why humans are so weak. They are too emotional with others and that is something I enjoy breaking to pieces before killing them" said Orochi Ikaruga with a dark smirk before Mira with Laxus appeared above her all the sudden, both preparing their magic in sync.
"let's see you talk after this!" exclaimed Laxus and Mira as both fired a lightning and darkness blast right at Orochi Ikaruga who got engulfed in a powerful explosion.
"Mira! Laxus!" shouted Gray as the explosion dissipates and revealed Orochi Ikaruga standing within a sphere barrier that protected her from the two's attack. "a barrier!?"
"here in Tenko, those who are of royal bloodline are protected with a protection blessing" said Orochi Ikaruga before chuckling and smirking. "if you wish to harm this body, be best if it's not in Tenko, humans"
"you bastard!" said Laxus before Orochi Ikaruga swung Chitetsu to the side, causing a powerful gust to blow out and sends Laxus with Mira flying away while the others hold their ground.
"why you!" exclaimed Elfman as he, Gray, Gajeel, Ayame, Cana, and Juvia went on the attack against Orochi Ikaruga while Lucy, Wendy, Charla, Lisanna, and Levy went to Natsu's body, believing that they still could save the man's life before he dies.
Orochi Ikaruga smirks as she disappears and appeared in the middle of Gray and the others while they were running to attack her.
"humans are so slow" said Orochi Ikaruga as she swung Chitetsu in a circular fashion, erupting a flaming shockwave to blow the six away.
"guuaah" "gah!" "her speed?!" "when did she!?" "how?!" said Gray and the others as Orochi Ikaruga smirks at them before her senses alerted her from a danger behind. She turns and uses Chitetsu to block a magic induced punch from Gildarts who came into play.
The ground behind Orochi Ikaruga got shattered into a net like formation as his attack went right through her.
"tch! What a pain in the ass!" said Gildarts before he blocked a kick from Orochi Ikaruga who then added a knee kick at Gildarts' gut, the Crash mage grunted before he pulled back his left fist as it is encased with his magic. "I'm getting annoyed about not using my magic on this continent!"
Gildarts sends his left fist at Orochi Ikaruga who tilts her head to the side to dodge before she grabs his artificial hand and then swung the Crash mage over her.
"guh!" grunted Gildarts as he looks up and sees Orochi Ikaruga preparing to impale Chitetsu's blade right at him, but she jumped away as Mira came in trying to strike her claws at her.
A brawl began as Gray and the others joined in, everyone attacking Orochi Ikaruga at once as Gildarts who got back up joined in. while the group battles Orochi Ikaruga, we turn our attention to Lucy and the others as they look at Natsu whose bloody heart wound is getting all of Wendy's healing magic.
"it won't stop! The blood won't stop!" said Wendy in tears as Natsu's heartbeat is weakening by the passing second with his blood coming out of the hole on his back and is pooling up on the grassy ground.
"what do we do….what do we do?!" said Lucy as they had just brought back Haruo from the dead, now Natsu is dying from failing in saving Ikaruga from Orochi's control.
"guys! Look out!" exclaimed Lisanna as everyone turns and Lucy with Levy got crashed with Gajeel who got thrown at them.
"Kyaa!" the two girls screams in surprise before they were sent a few feet away from Lisanna and the others.
"Lucy! Levy! Are you two alright!?" exclaimed Charla as Lucy and Levy got up with Gajeel who shakes his head before he glares at Orochi Ikaruga who swung Chitetsu and cuts down all of Cana's card magic. The iron Dragon Slayer got up before he runs right back into the battle.
"that hurt…" muttered Lucy while placing a hand to her head.
"that Gajeel.." said Levy as she sat up before she sees Gray and the others having a hard time landing a hit on Orochi Ikaruga.
"the others aren't landing a hit on her, how are we supposed to save Ikaruga and beat Orochi at the same time!?" said Lucy as the odds of them winning and saving Lingyue is getting thin.
"Lucy! You guys! Look out!" shouted Gray by the fight as he is warning Lucy and the others from a flying energy slash that Orochi Ikaruga fired at them.
"oh no!" screamed Levy as Lisanna and the others see the incoming attack before the youngest Strauss sibling shielding Wendy and Charla.
"Noboru Yama!" shouted a voice before multiple rock walls rises out of the ground near Lisanna and the others that instantly blocked the incoming energy slash while cutting down some rock walls, but the attack dissipated when it reached the last one.
Seeing the rock walls that protected Lisanna, Wendy, and Charla; Lucy and Levy turns to see Daichi, Mizuki, Raikou, Akari, Kazane, and Yamika appearing by the tunnel passage nearby, the six members of the 8 generals having battered looks but they seem rather fine.
"you guys!" said Lucy in seeing the five.
"sorry that we are late, it took us time to recuperate and get here!" said Daichi as the monk lifted his Tetsubo and leans it against his shoulder.
"as well as convincing Yamika, and Kazane here to join the rebellion" added Raikou while pointing a thumb to Yamika and Kazane, both sending quick cold glares at the Lightning General in response to his statement.
"but why are you guys?" said Levy as Daichi and the others looks and sees Gray and the others fighting Orochi Ikaruga who easily outpower them.
"we can explain in a later time" said Mizuki as she spins her Naginata before the back of her head is covered in a fish like skeletal helmet and her body is getting covered in black water like markings that rides up to her face. "right now, we got to get Orochi out of Ikaruga-sama's body"
"what do we do? Make her gag or something?" said Raikou as he and the others are undergoing similar transformation like Mizuki, but their skeletal masks are different from the others.
"there is only one way to find out" said Yamika who swung both hands to her side and Shurikens appeared in between her fingers.
"after this is over, I am going to have another duel with Ayame" said Kazane, pissed that she lost to the Wood General while she wields both her war fans that has blades coming out of its root.
"I'll be support, go" said Akari while preparing her bow and arrow that is aimed at Orochi Ikaruga who kicks away Mira by the stomach before sending a swinging kick at Gray's face.
Daichi and the others squatted their stance a bit before they dashed right into the battle as Orochi Ikaruga turns and instantly blocks a combined attack from Daichi and Mizuki. The possessed woman now facing the 6 members of the 8 generals as their battle is in a farther higher rate than Gray and the others.
"Lucy-san! Levy-san!" exclaimed Wendy in tears as the Sky Dragon Slayer has been trying hard to heal Natsu's wound. "Natsu-san's heart! His heart is weakening! I can't feel his heartbeat anymore!"
This got nearby attention as Lucy and Levy scrambled to Wendy's side, both looking at Natsu whose face is pale. Lucy holds Natsu's hand and felt no pulse before she rested her ear against his chest and hears a weak pulse that strikes fear into her heart.
"n-no…his heart…." Muttered Lucy in horror as Natsu is dying slowly and in a moments time, he will die. Lucy lifts her face up as she looks like she wanted to panic "we got to do something! Anything to save his life!"
"but what can we do?!" exclaimed Levy as none of them knew how to save a person whose heart is pierced.
In a realm of darkness, Natsu floats within it as his soul is fading into the afterlife.
But just as he is about to sink into the pure darkness, flames rages around everywhere before his soul got grabbed by a large red claw.
"it is far too early for you to die, Natsu" said a loud voice as the flames subsides to reveal Igneel who had caught Natsu's soul before it passes on to the next life. "you still have a mission to finish"
Natsu lied on Igneel's left claw's palm as the Fire Dragon holds up one of his right claw's talon and touched Natsu's chest with it gently, a red glow shines from the man's body before Natsu started to float out of Igneel's grasp.
"till the time is right, you can't die yet, Natsu" said Igneel as he watches Natsu floats above the darkness and into the shining light above.
The battle at Tenko rages on as Daichi and the other generals with Gray and the others gave all their might in taking down Orochi Ikaruga.
Daichi, Raikou, Mizuki, Kazane, Yamika, and Ayame jumps above Orochi Ikaruga before they slammed down their weapon above her head, the possessed woman using Chitetsu to block. but the force of their weapon's swing caused the ground below her to crack.
"fufufu, even with the power of Kojun and your kagejun. It pales in comparison with mine" said Orochi Ikaruga as she pushes against the combined weapon attack from the six members of the 8 generals before she blows them away with a powerful gust after weaving several hand signs with one hand.
"gaaah!" Daichi and the others were blown away as Orochi Ikaruga smirks before she swung Chitetsu to the side, deflecting a flying arrow from Akari who pulls three more arrows and fired them at her.
Orochi Ikaruga smirks before Ayame and Mizuki appeared in between her as both swung their Staff and Naginata in front and behind Orochi Ikaruga who ducks before did a circular leg swing bellow that knocks both female generals down.
"Ice Cannon!" "Satan Blast!" "Water Stream!" "Raging Bolt!" an attack combination of ice, darkness, water, and lightning attack came at Orochi Ikaruga who lifted Chitetsu up and the cursed katana's blade is coated in a demonic violet aura that instantly clashes with the incoming attack.
"magic doesn't work on this katana's blade!" said Orochi Ikaruga with a smirk as she swung Chitetsu to the side and the combined magic attack dissipated.
"now, Elfman!" shouted Mira as Orochi Ikaruga looks up and sees Elfman who is in his Beast Soul coming down with a giant boulder above his hands.
"MAN!" shouted Elfman before he swung the boulder towards Orochi Ikaruga who swung Chitetsu upwards and cuts the giant boulder into pieces, but that made an opening for Daichi who appeared near her.
"what!?" said Orochi Ikaruga in surprise before Daichi let out a battle cry while swinging his Tetsubo right at the possessed woman's stomach. "gah!"
Daichi gritted his teeth and veins popped out of his foreheads as he uses all his inner strength and sends Orochi Ikaruga flying into the air.
While Orochi Ikaruga flew in the air, Mizuki, Raikou, Yamika, Kazane, Ayame, and Akari were below her, the six were performing similar hand signs in unison before they slammed their hands together.
"Rairyu/ Suiryu/ Ankokuryu/ Furyu/ Mokuryu/ Tenkuryu Baku Dan!" they chanted in unison as six Dragons made out of lightning, water, shadow, wind, light, and wood arises behind them. The six-element dragon roars before they barrage Orochi Ikaruga in the air.
"Ganketsuryu Baku Dan!" shouted Daichi as he weaved some hand signs before he slammed a palm to the ground, causing a dragon made out of stones to rise up and join in on the barrage attack against Orochi Ikaruga.
An explosion occurred in the air as the shockwave from the blast nearly blew everyone and everything away.
"these guys don't play around!" shouted Mira while shielding her eyes from the dust that got blown everywhere from the shockwave.
Daichi and the others look at the air where the smoke is forming up after their attack, they awaited to see the result of their attack and sees that Orochi Ikaruga is within an energy barrier while as her body is completely unharmed.
"fufufufu, did you not hear me before? you can't harm this body as long as it is in the vicinity of Tenko" said Orochi Ikaruga as she floated within the energy barrier, she smirks before she lifted Chitetsu upwards before tilting the katana to the side summoning a bolt of lightning that strikes down the weapon from the hole above.
Everyone watched as lightning charges Chitetsu' blade in pure energy, Orochi Ikaruga looks down at everyone with a smirk before she swung Chitetsu down, erupting a blast of lightning upon the ground and caused a massive explosion that blew everyone away.
The power of the explosion caused a bright flash and a huge shockwave that bends nearby trees, sends large rock tumbling away and destroys everything.
When the explosion died down, it revealed a huge crater upon the Tenko's ground where everyone who was nearby is either knocked out by the crater, under a pile of broken trees, or floating by a nearby small lake. Every single one even the seven members of the 8 generals was all defeated by Orochi Ikaruga's single attack.
Orochi Ikaruga floats down and stands by the crater as she looks at everyone who is either knocked out or even dead from her attack. A dark smirk forms on her lips as she chuckled before laughing out loud as she got rid of everyone who got in her way.
"I cannot be defeated no more! I have Kaguya's Descendant's body and the most powerful kagejun born from own fang! I am impervious to Magic attack and even Chi attack! No living being can ever defeat me ever again! I will rule this world!" Orochi Ikaruga shouted out while laughing as she has won and will bring certain doom upon the whole world.
As she laughed, several footsteps were heard from behind her as Orochi Ikaruga stopped laughing and turns to see Yuuko standing behind while accompanied by 9 large Pop Foxes, each growling and glaring at Orochi Ikaruga.
"so you are still alive, you fox" said Orochi Ikaruga while staring at Yuuko as she had a flashback of facing Kaguya who has a small Pop Fox riding on her right shoulder. "I was certain that you are dead after 4 centuries"
"Kaguya-sama blessed me with eternal life and asked me to protect her home along with my children" said Yuuko with hostility in her eyes while the 9 large Pop Foxes behind her growls with their large fangs and claws showing. "you are not welcomed here, Orochi"
"but this body is" said Orochi Ikaruga as her body is protected by the realm's blessing. She lifted Chitetsu and runs her left hand's fingers on the katana's blade before glancing at Yuuko. "if you believe that you and your large rodents can defeat me, you are surely mistaken"
Before long, the Ashura Statue crashes by as it was summoned upon Orochi Ikaruga's command.
"as long as I have this body, no living mortal can ever defeat me" said Orochi Ikaruga with a dark smirk. "Lingyue will succumb to my power for an eternity"
"even if you are an immortal, that body is not. It will soon wither and die like the previous body that you possessed" said Yuuko while keening her eyes.
"true, but this body had offsprings" said Orochi Ikaruga with a few chuckles. "when their age is ripe, I shall take their body and continue my eternal rule upon Lingyue"
"I'm afraid not" said Yuuko as her eyes glows yellow for a second. "your fate doesn't end with you ruling upon Lingyue, but perishing upon Lingyue"
"is that a prediction? Kaguya couldn't defeat me 4 centuries ago, what makes you think that I can be defeated upon this age?" said Orochi Ikaruga with a dark look while preparing Chitetsu to strike once Yuuko's children go for the attack.
"it is because this age, there are those who would continue to fight against dark entities such as yourself," said Yuuko as Orochi Ikaruga looks at her before her senses felt an ominous dark aura coming from behind her.
Orochi Ikaruga quickly turns and finds herself surrounded by hundreds of Genju as all of the dark creatures were looking right at her.
"the Genju? Do you think that they can give any difference in defeating me?" said Orochi Ikaruga with a chuckle. "they may be able to take down the Ashura, but against me, they wouldn't have a chance"
"they are not your opponent," said Yuuko as she turns and started walking away to the mansion, her hearings heard the sound of a child's cries, meaning; Ikki. "for they are"
"they?" said Orochi Ikaruga with a confused face before her eyes widen and she looks up to see Enra coming down at her, the monkey king wielding a red staff that he swung down right at her.
Quickly responding, Orochi Ikaruga swung Chitetsu upwards and blocked the attack but the force of their attack caused her feet to dig down the ground and cracks it.
"what makes one of the 8 Lingyue Celestial Spirits can give a change?" said Orochi Ikaruga as she pushed them away before she turns to the side and was met with a powerful claw strike from Byakko who roars.
Orochi Ikaruga got protected in the barrier as she flew into the air but was met with Black Raven; Tengu and Flashing Eagle; Taka. Both Spirits seems to have a similar appearance as Tengu is a tall man with black raven like wings, wearing a yukata, has raven like feet and sharp talons, as well as wearing a black Tengu mask that only covers his eyes and nose while leaving his mouth exposed. Taka has a different appearance from Tengu as Taka is a humanoid eagle whose feathers are white and yellow while wearing a black vest and short pants.
"Yami Karasu!" "Senko Shin!" Tengu flaps his wings three times as hundreds of black crows flies towards Orochi Ikaruga while Taka opens his beak mouth that lets out a loud and echoing eagle squall.
The two Lingyue Celestial Spirit's attack collides upon Orochi Ikaruga's barrier as they barrage her shield that vibrates. Orochi Ikaruga was about to give a counterattack, but Enra came back in as the Monkey King swung his Staff right at the energy barrier and made it flew out of the hole like a baseball.
Orochi Ikaruga flies out of Tenko as the barrier disappeared, leaving her unprotected. Clicking her tongue in annoyance, the possessed woman flew in the air for a few seconds before landing on top of a roof of the palace nearby.
"to think that she summoned them even without a contract," said Orochi Ikaruga, thinking that Yuuko summoned Enra, Tengu, Taka, and Byakko when she was busy facing Daichi and the others.
Before she could get a moment to think, the clouds above darkens the sky as lightning strikes down everywhere and thunder rang loudly. Orochi Ikaruga looks up and sees Draco's head descending down as the Dragon Celestial Spirit roars loudly.
Orochi Ikaruga looks at Draco before the ground rumbles and shakes as she looks to the side and sees the groundbreaking apart by the city for Genbu arises, the Large Tortoise Celestial Spirit let out a howling and echoing loud growl before having steam coming out of his nostrils. Before getting another chance to speak, Orochi Ikaruga sees flames rages out of the large hole as Houou arises in a larger and brighter form than before. next, a large wave of water rises out of the city's nearby lake as a half woman and half fish like being appeared as it is Ocean Singer Seiocho who looks to be some mermaid hybrid like Aquarius, but she wields a glowing navy blue trident in her grasp.
Soon enough, Byakko, Tengu, Taka, and Enra came out of the large hole as Orochi Ikaruga looks at them all for all 8 Celestial Spirit guardians of Lingyue appeared upon the island.
"what a reminiscing scene" said Orochi Ikaruga with an amused smile. "all 8 of you are upon Lingyue once again, just like 400 years ago"
"it is time to end this once and for all, Orochi" said Draco with a menacing glare and growl.
"hmph! You all failed 4 centuries ago in sealing me, this time there shall be no one to be able to seal me anymore" said Orochi Ikaruga as Ikaruga herself is the only descendant of Kaguya who could seal away Orochi's soul away.
"you are mistaken to think that we will seal you like before, Orochi" said Genbu as he huffs and more steam comes out of his nostrils.
"4 centuries ago, we believed that you can only be stopped by getting sealed away" said Byakko while growling. "this time, we will erase your entire existence for good"
"erase my existence? By killing me inside this body?" said Orochi Ikaruga with a chuckle. "that is not something Kaguya would've wanted, would she?"
"Kaguya-sama's very wish was to protect Lingyue at all cost" said Houou while flapping her flaming wings to stay airborne. "we will pay the price in order to save Lingyue"
"you Spirits are such fools" said Orochi Ikaruga with laughter. "you maybe spirits, but you can't kill me! not while I'm holding this body hostage!"
"we never said anything about us killing you" said Enra while standing on top of a tall building's roof.
"our 4 centuries decree with Kaguya-sama wouldn't allow it" added Tengu as he and Taka floats nearby Enra. Taka merely nodded as so did Seiocho.
"then how will you stop me?" asked Orochi Ikaruga before she felt Chitetsu shaking in her grasp. She looks at the cursed katana before it flew out of her grasp and to the air but was soon catch in a demonic hand's grasp.
"he will stop you" said Draco as standing on his head is Natsu who is in his demonic form but is mostly covering his left side where his artificial arm is replaced with a black demonic monster like arm instead.
Natsu had his eyes closed when he caught Chitetsu back in his grasp, the man slowly opens them and reveal black eyes with glowing scarlet red reptilian eyes.
"Daimou.." muttered Orochi Ikaruga as Natsu stands up straight on Draco's head before he squatted down and dashes through the air, right towards his possessed wife.
"tch!" clicking her tongue, Orochi Ikaruga did several handsigns as the Ashura Statue jumps out of the large hole but has several Genju sticking on its body, the black creatures were ripping apart the statue's form.
Natsu swung Chitetsu forward as he instantly cut down one of the Ashura's arms before he continues flying straight towards Orochi Ikaruga who did several hand signs and wields a violet black sword out of nowhere.
He swung Chitetsu as Natsu and Orochi Ikaruga engage in battle once more and so did the 8 Celestial Guardian Spirits along with the Genju against the Ashura Statue.
That's a wrap!
Bye bye
