>>6323547“Rimuru, stay sharp! Keep a counterspell ready.” you <span class="mu-i">think</span> to your longtime ally, eyes never leaving Moro's face. Watching for any twitch of a hint of power as you form your Crystal Magic Sealer crystals in either hand. Crystals so devoid of magic they absorb any magic they come in contact with, releasing that magic when broken or allowing you to study others' spells and potentially recreate them yourself. Your own special variant of a counterspell, one that is far harder to stop as it can even absorb the magic of counterspells. “He's not going down without a fight.”
“Yosh.” Rimuru answers aloud in that foreign dialect he and Kazuma sometimes speak, them and Ainz. Proof they're from another world and time, as Moro seethes at Freeza in impotent fury.
“Damn you. Damn you! I won't lose here! I can't lose, not like this!” Moro snarls, using telekinesis to lift dozens of shards of the arena large as boulders, wildly swinging them at Freeza. Who doesn't budge, his Hakai aura causing each chunk of rocky arena thrown at him to seemingly dissolve into motes of light as they're Destroyed, winking out of existence with terrifying finality. He then levels his right hand at Freeza, firing bolts of black, Abyssally black as you and Rimuru both react. Throwing one of your Crystal Magic Sealers, as Rimuru casts his Counterspell “Mana Drain”. Your counters intercepting one another's before either reaches Moro's lightning, your crystal absorbing the counter and clinking harmlessly to the ground as the dark lightning, that leaves voids in reality as they cut silently through the air, strike Freeza's aura unimpeded. But even this Dark magic is powerless before the power of a Destroyer, even that Darkness reduced to nothing as it's Destroyed on contact. “Grrrrrr! Why won't you DIE?!”
Moro again throws more magic, this time an orb of not magic but what feels to be pure soul energy. This time, Rimuru hesitates a moment, letting you throw your Sealer first. Catching the orb with your magic, absorbing it. Again your Sealer drops to the ground, you grabbing both of the captured spells with telekinesis, pulling them to your outstretched hands as Moro, with a snarl, tries to vanish.
“Mana Drain!” Rimuru shouts, leveling his hand, causing Moro to flicker as a wihrlwind of mana is pulled from Moro into Rimuru's outstretched hand. “You're not going anywhere!”
“Insolent-!” Moro snarls, only for Freeza, tired of standing there and letting Moro attack, dashes in. Moving so fast you only see one punch, but from the different ways the shock waves blow out from their sudden collision, know he was hit more than once. “Guuahh!?”
