Hades jumped straight into the battle. Clyde, sensing a new power approaching with murderous intent, instantly knew it was Hades. Without hesitation, he unleashed a bolt of lightning toward Gabriel with immense force. The Archangel was forced to raise his shield quickly to avoid the strike, and the blast temporarily obscured his vision.
Clyde took the chance to leap back from Gabriel, spinning his body mid-air to face Hades, who was charging in from below.
He thrust his Elderglass sword—now wrapped in dark mist, lightning, and fire—straight at Hades. Immediately afterward, lances of combined elemental energy shot toward Hades at incredible speed.
Caught off guard by Clyde's quick reaction to his surprise attack, Hades gritted his teeth, knowing he'd failed to land a sneak strike.
Raising his bident, Hades summoned his underworld power. Deep purple magic swirled at the weapon's tip before he fired it to counter Clyde's incoming assault.
BOOM!
