>>5422619>>5422633>>5422639"We can both attack at the same time thanks to Violet being free!" Violet heeds your command, already offering her back as you let your body slide off of Gunpowder and on top of her."
"Guess that leaves me to be flung at him, make sure to aim right, you freak of nature!" Guts growls at Barnham, aiming the dragonslayer at his neck.
"Strange, I imagined that dying for nothing was something humans were proud to partake in. It's only fair I pay homage to my human days..."
"It's best for you not to die here, Barnham! Cindy and Benny still wish to return to Ilos. You will be remembered well by bringing promise to your people, instead of dying against a battle unseen by them."
You point to the dying artisan and her cowering brother, making the bear ponder on his priorities.
"Not only do you intend to stop me from killing a great apostle for you to do it instead, you want me to ignore the Captain Of The Falcons I hate the most, to save two sons of immigrant citizens, useless to either my army or my economy, just because you asked me to?" Barnham is ready to refuse.
"It's either doing that, or seeing your head fly out your body! What's it going to be, gladiator?" Guts shows his respects to the woman that called him a coward for snapping into darkness, pondering on whether it would be best to kill him instead.
"Once again, I find myself needing to be convinced by displays of strength, instead of empty words of hypocrites. Tell you what: You deliver the final blow onto that emperor, and we'll have ourselves a deal."
'TO THE CLOUDS WE GO!' Violet takes off, rushing onto Ganishka with the speed that rivaled the typhoons of the Sylphs. Barnham curled his palms onto a ball and let Guts remain inside, both of them contributing to the ones who they once sworn to oppose.
Uniting with the greater enemy to defeat their strongest opponents. Truly this must be what it means to struggle.
Upon passing the altitude of the clouds, you are both electrified to the point where every muscle in your body is convulsing against your will. Though your grip on your weapons are firm, you start noticing your loss in altitude as Violet begins to faint from the high voltage.
Making the bold move to cross paths with Guts, you hop off from the harpy to freeze your wet boots momentarily onto the dragonslayer. Your ankles are nearly turn off from the impact, but you manage to surf onto the slab of iron imbued with the energy of Qlipoth.
Speaking of imbuing, your breathing is focused onto fusing your Od onto the weapon of the Undines. Your blow will purify Ganishka's corrupted soul. Guts' will be so demented that will undo the damage and restore it back.
The opposite of magical extremes have united under a single name: Power.
Both your attacks connect as you pass through the fog, making a crater the size of the Vandimion estate as Ganishka disappears from your sight. Daiba's Garuda is ordered to leave, for the emperor had lost his presence.
