"..."
The brutal death of Heracles suddenly caused the battle that should have been in the advantage of the Hero Faction to suddenly stop, and everyone was stunned, still as they saw Hercules' headless body fall to the ground, completely losing his life.
Even with healing magic and many other methods to save him, it was impossible to save Heracless since this guy was completely dead, without any life left.
"Heracles!"
While everyone had expected Masa to be strong, no one expected him to be this strong!
Heracles, who was known as the most powerful, was killed so easily, as if a child killed an ant with his finger!
Yet, Masa did it, and this time, it would be their turn!
"Don't panic! We still have the advantages!"
While Cao Cao was surprised and angry by the death of Heracles, he knew that he had to calm down first, especially when his opponent was simply a monster that he had never imagined fighting at all!
"It's always been the hero who wins against the monster! We will win!"
"Yes!"
All of them echoed, answering Cao Cao's call, but it was impossible for them not to be affected. If the one that died was a nobody, or just small fries that they brainwashed so they would follow their group, they didn't care, but Heracles was one of the most powerful members of the Hero Faction!
For Heracles to be killed so easily by a single punch despite his highest physical ability and defense among the Hero Faction, how could they dare to approach Masa carelessly?!
"Leonardo, go all out! Use your Balance Breaker! Jeanne, you too! No, all of you go all out directly on your Balance Breaker and use the Ophis' snake, too! Arthur, Connla, and Siegfried buy time for Leonardo! Georg, be supportive and watch everyone so they won't die!"
"Yes!"
All of them answered at the same time, following Cao Cao's order faithfully, yet Masa ignored them and thought of his gains from Heracles.
'It's not that bad.'
Heracles' Sacred Gear might not be a Longinus, but it was fairly powerful, known as Variant Detonation, a Sacred Gear that allowed him to generate an explosion, and naturally, as he was a character that appeared in the story, of course, he was able to further develop his Sacred Gear to the next level, which made him able to create missiles to blow up his opponent.
Unfortunately, such mini missiles couldn't hurt him.
If Heracles wanted to scratch him, then he should develop the explosion of his Sacred Gear to the level of a nuclear bomb.
"Now, you might be confident with your physical ability, but what about your speed?"
A young man with silver hair and six hands, each of which held a legendary sword that exuded a dangerous aura, which made those who saw them think that nothing could be cut by those swords!
"Sigfried-san, Arthur-san, I have caught him!"
Unexpectedly, Connla, who had been lacking aura and always appeared in the background, took the chance to give everyone an opening. Yes, his Sacred Gear might not be able to damage Masa much, yet he could trap him!
Night Reflection was his Sacred Gear, which allowed him to control a shadow!
As Masa's shadow was controlled by him, Connla believed that Masa wouldn't be able to move!
"Good job!"
Everyone praised Connla at the same time, and they also didn't waste their time bringing Masa down!
"Yes, you might be able to blast Heracles' head with one punch, but even so, Heracles never dares to clash his body against my swords! Now, take this, you devil!"
Sigfried, who was the clone of the hero Sigfried, used everything he had.
Yes, unlike the others, his Sacred Gear was just a simple Twitce Critical, a Sacred Gear that only allowed the user to double their power, but he had developed it further, giving him the ability to create extra arms, which made him able to use all the magical swords within his collection!
"Gram! Balmung! Nothung! Tyrfing! Dainsleif! And a light sword!
"Take six of my swords!
"Chaos Edge Asura Ravage!"
The six swords moved viciously by the six arms on Sigfried's body, ready to chop down Masa's body!
At the same time, the space behind Masa suddenly split, and a figure appeared, ready to chop Masa's neck!
Yes, this was the combination attack of the two strongest swordsmen on the Hero Faction, Sigfried, and Arthur, the descendant of Arthur Pendragon!
The thought of Masa's body being chopped appeared in everyone's mind as they knew that it was impossible for him to dodge their attack, but—
Crack!
The swords that they expected to chop Masa down with cracked as if they had met a hard object!
The legendary swords that had killed many powerful supernatural beings were almost destroyed as they hit Masa's body!
"....."
Everyone's eyes widened, especially Sigfried and Arthur, who made their attacks, but Masa only stared at them lazily and said, "Bow."
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMM!!!
Whether it was Connla, Sigfried, or Arthur, they felt a powerful impact that crushed their bodies as they had become so much heavier!
The three of them couldn't move, but Arthur was so ruthless that he could use two of his arms, which gave him a chance to run away, especially when Jeanne, the only female within the executive of the Hero Faction, made her move!
"Stake Victim Dragoon!"
This was Jeanne's Balance Breaker, which came from the Blade Blacksmith, a Sacred Gear that allowed her to create holy swords with numerous attributes, which were the greatest weakness of the devil!
By using this Balance Breaker, Jeanne formed her swords into a dragon and crashed it into Masa!
Crack!
"No way..."
Jeanne was in a daze as her strongest attack was smashed with just a single punch from Masa.
Yet, at that moment, Georg used his magic to help Arthur escape, but unfortunately, Sigfried and Connla were crushed into flat, and killed with ease.
Everyone was in their deepest despair, and no one thought that they could defeat Masa.
Still, during that moment, the youngest among them all, Leonardo, whose Longinus was Annihilation Maker, a top-tier Longinus, which made him able to create numerous creatures from their shadows, based on his imagination, was filled with an intense fear as he saw many of his friends die before his very eyes!
"Bandersnatch and Jabberwocky!"
At that moment, thirteen gigantic monsters emerged on the battlefield and brought hope to the Hero Faction.
