Chapter 217 Zack Versus The Moon God [Part 3]
Zack and Emma shot forward in perfect synchronization, one using the silver arrow of the moon goddess while the other used his spear.
"True Spirit Spear Chastiefol, Fourth Form, Medusa's Wrath!" Zack shouted aloud as he jumped towards the moon god with Eirias glowing with power in his other hand.
Chastiefol's turned into the ancient spear once again but as compared to what had happened with Xelor, the Moon God got frozen much slowly.
The petrification started from his right hand's index finger but no sooner had it staretd spreading around his hand, the petrification broke.
"I guess you don't remember that petrification doesn't work on me. The moon's light can easily break through the the rocks you try to stop me by." The Moon god replied while flicking hsi index finger in their direction.
A ray of golden light shot from his hand as it shot directly towards Zack and Emma's heart.
Zack gritted his teeth while watching the beam of light knowing well that it could kill both of them. But he couldn't allow that to happen.
Purely based on instinct, he raised Eirias directly towards the ray of light. The entire thing happened in under a second as the ray of light clashed with the crystal sword and the purple flames overcame the light.
The flames somehow used the light as a medium and traveled directly across to the Moon god. They rampaged around him but couldn't directly come in contact with him.
'But this does give us the opportunity to at least form a small plan.' Zack thought as he saw the purple flames preventing the god from attacking them.
[ Guys, do you think we can defeat him? ] Lance asked from above as he was trying to find a crack in the moon god's defenses.
Till then, he hadn't found even a single one of those cracks despite the god facing so many problems. Lance had a feeling that he was hiding his true power otherwise the three of them would have been long since killed.
[ Well, I don't think we can actually kill him but defeating him is another thing. ] Zack replied as he rotated his wrists a bit. f𝘳𝚎𝑒𝚠𝑒𝚋𝘯o𝘃eƖ.co𝓂
He had been hoping to not reveal most of Chastiefol's forms but it looked as though he would have to use a few more of them.
[ Let's keep fighting for now. I will try to find a way to escape while trapping him. ] He said one last time as the flames around MG suddenly vanished.
"True Spirit Spear Chastiefol, Fifth Form, Armor of the Fallen!" The first thing that Zack decided to do was to take the boosts away from MG while also powering himself up.
The white balls of light that MG had absorbed suddenly shot out of his body followed by even more balls of light exiting his body.
Zack had never expected to see so many souls leaving MG's body which made him wonder how many souls had been absorbed by the god.
Other than that, a golden soul suddenly rose from his throne and suddenly shot towards Zack's heart.
'Is this…' His eyes suddenly widened as the golden soul formed a golden chestplate around his chest before the other souls shot around his body and formed a complete set of armor around him.
There were still two dozen or so souls remaining which Zack used on his two allies and gave them the power to fight.
'Now I will have to reveal the final thing.' Zack thought with a sigh as he raised his right hand high and glared at MG. "TSSC, First Form, Chastiefol! TSSC, Second Form, Sky's Wrath."
(AN: Just to be clear, TSSC is the abbreviation of the complete chant.)
Zack summoned two more forms of Chastiefol up without losing the armor as he used both of the spear's forms to attack MG.
The power of both the forms was much greater than before as Zack had also powered. Zack jumped forward with the spear in his hands while a thousand and five hundred daggers flew on front of them, each of them being three feet tall.
MG sweated slightly as the daggers attacked him all at once. The power he had accumulated over the centuries had vanished in one go as Zack had sucked all the souls from him.
Unknowingly Zack had managed to suck every ounce of power from MG in hopes of making him a bit weaker. Now the trio had a chance of defeating the god for good.
MG took a deep breath as a pink ball of light rotated around him. The ball was protecting him from the daggers but he knew that they won't hold on for much longer.
'He has that soul too…' He thought while looking at the golden chestplate Zack was wearing. 'If only I had managed to obtain that.'
MG gritted his teeth as Zack suddenly threw the spear as the pink sphere around MG and shattered it in one go.
"Moonimus Wrathus Ressurecs!" He suddenly shouted with full power as his body lit up with a golden glow. MG knew that this was his last chance and getting all of his powers back and defeating all of them.
Zack didn't even blink an eye at the attack as he had seen it before. It had also been the same attack that had killed him before.
"True Spirit Chastiefol, Ninth Form…" Zack suddenly recalled the daggers and the spear back. It had been some time since he had used the ninth form but he knew that it would still help him. "Mirror Of Reality!"
The sound of a chime bell echoed around the entire throne room as a translucent purple mirror appeared in front of him.
The mirror rotated in the air once and before MG could even release his attack, his body froze. The mirror rotated in the other direction before adjusting itself in MG's direction.
The mirror than shot a powerful attack at the MG which only Zack could see. It was an attack of seven colors all mixing together to form a golden beam of light more commonly called the first moonlight to fall on Hikari.
To the others it was just a flash of light and the next second, MG was dead. Emma and Lance had never seen the ninth form of Chastiefol in action before but they had heard Zack talking about it before.
"Why didn't you use this earlier?" Lance suddenly asked as he recovered from his shock and looked down as he saw the MG's body being surrounded by a black glow.
"He is taking it away…" Zack said in a dazed tone as he sensed a familiar power coming from the dead body of the Moon god.
Lance also recognized the aura a split second later since the two of them had met the owner of the aura not too long ago.
However, the Phoenix had no idea what was going to happen to the body of the god but judging from Zack's expression, it wasn't anything good.
"You know why I don't use this form more often?" Zack suddenly asked as he slowly landed on the ground, his eyes becoming red. "Its because the aftereffects are horrible…"
