A little closer to the entrance of Kronos, the Minotaur's roar followed by an explosive shout echoed as he raised his enormous sword and struck against the opponents in front of him—Aiz, Bete, Tione, and Tiona, who had surrounded him until that moment.

As his blade crashed into the ground, forcing all four of them to retreat, sound and dust rose as Asterius prepared to get rid of them before going after his destined challenge.

"This guy is hard to take down..." Bete muttered before sensing someone moving through the smoke, advancing towards Asterius. It was the two Amazons rushing at him.

They ran along the side through the dust, only seeing his silhouette as Asterius waited, feeling them approaching while they charged towards him.

The following moment, they leapt, appearing in front of him, trying to strike with punches. Asterius quickly moved his sword, hitting one of them with the blunt side of the blade directly. Tione was sent flying, crashing against debris, while Tiona reappeared at his unguarded side.

"You bastard!" she exclaimed, furious that he had struck her sister, delivering a punch that forced him back a few meters. But Asterius remained steady, swinging his sword at her in the next moment, forcing her to dodge and advance again through another opening.

Tiona hit him with another punch and a sweeping kick, causing him to lose balance for a moment, but he quickly swept her away with the sword in another blow, hitting her like her sister.

"I'm fighting too!" Bete spoke up at that moment, reappearing in his werewolf form, further boosting his strength. He clashed his claws directly against Asterius' sword, both of them struggling for power as they tried to overpower each other. Bete felt the pressure from the Minotaur increasing a moment later.

Asterius' strength was already overwhelming, and Bete was sent flying back as well. Aiz was the only one who had gotten back up, approaching the scene while seeing all her companions down. She looked at the Minotaur with a glint of hatred, yet he remained calm.

She said nothing, expressed nothing, just charged with all her speed, attacking with her slender sword, striking directly against Asterius' blade. The sound of the blades echoed through the air, but unlike the others, Aiz did not retreat, gaining a bit of ground.

Asterius noticed this and began to put more strength into his arm as it bulged, forcing her to slightly back off, dodging the strikes and launching attacks with a speed superior to Asterius, managing to make a small cut on his arm. The Minotaur reacted quickly, swinging his massive weapon, forcing Aiz to back off a little more, but she soon moved to his side.

Asterius raised his sword, trying to stop her from circling around him and finding an opening, while Aiz pressed him from the flank. The fight began to intensify, their swords clashing repeatedly, with Aiz continuing to use her superior speed to her advantage.

Bete, Tione, and Tiona watched from afar, finally noticing that Aiz was fighting alone.

"Wait... is she going to do that?" Tione murmured with a serious look as they were about to interfere to help. But then, they realized that Aiz was preparing her greatest skill, Ariel.

Quickly, her body began to be enveloped by winds swirling around her. Asterius tried to strike her, but she kept getting faster, becoming harder to track. Aiz reached a level of speed beyond what the Minotaur could respond to, and he felt a new cut on his leg. He tried to hit her from the side, but she was already on the other, hitting his back. Asterius grew enraged, roaring as he tried to strike her, but only managed to hit the ground, raising debris.
