Blood seeped down the face of your enemy, its thick consistency symbolizing the heavy weight the end of this fight would hold.

The grip on the broken scythe was bruising, tightening even more to make sure he wouldn't be able to escape despite his fast reflexes.

After all, he was only human.

He peered past your determined expression, watching the fast-approaching space rock barreling toward both him and you.

It was starting to get hot from the pressure and blood began to mix with sweat.

"How?" He managed to strangle out his throat which was starting to fill with blood.

"My father didn't take my training lightly." You start. "He couldn't. Not with power like mine."

"I gained this power while battling a Grade 1 that Deidamia sent me some time ago. But it was so destructive I couldn't use it without killing so many innocent people."

You look deeply into his eyes, willing him to see the hate you hold for him.

"But maybe you did me a solid there. Bringing me here in this desolate battlefield."

William's face morphed into one of shock.

"My father took me to deserted islands across the world just so I could practice this technique."

"First I have to mark where I want the meteors to land by touching it with a hand seal in the form of a fist."

William suddenly remembers how her energy spiked earlier in the fight, and how she was able to land one blow to his face.

That's when she marked him.

"Then, all I have to do is wait as pieces of Saturn's ring come crashing in."

"Pieces? I only see one..." William sneers.

"Yeah. I've trained hard enough to be able to only call for one, but I haven't figured out how to keep it small." Your grin widens. "But that's why I left it to them."

A strike of electricity hits the rock. The blow was followed by Megumi's Nue flying upwards and sending another shock till it broke.

The deafening sound crackles the air, wind currents picking up and slicing against your and your opponent's skin.

A few other attacks coming from Hakari, Kirara, and Itadori come in as well.

Two used their techniques while Itadori continued to throw bigger objects at it.

The rock chips away with each blow, falling down around a desolate Shibuya.

But the core of the meteor stays on course.

William grabs your arms in a death grip.

"You're not jumping ship just yet." His voice was raspy.

"I never said I was leaving. I'm staying right here." You retort. "I'm finishing the job until you're nothing but ash."
