" Shield prison ! " 

A spell skill enchanted as a steel prison shaped ball confined Angelo within. Not a few second lasted, the shield easily shattered to pieces revealing Angelo while lifting his hand up seems he is challenged him to face whatever Naofumi throw anything at him. Didn't stop there, Naofumi opened up his palm towards him " hide shield " Naofumi cast another spell skill 

A dog bite shield appeared before Angelo and the three headed Cerberus immediately launch itself  towards Angelo to bite him viciously, Angelo who stood idly by just take the assault without repel it

Cih, as expected he is beyond my comprehension should I change my pace ?. Naofumi thought to himself as he glaring towards Angelo while his friends assaulting their opponent. A fierce battle not only faced by Naofumi's side, but also Kirito, Asuna, Leafa, Melty had a fierceful battle against Vassago who happens to be the leader of Laughing coffins

Kirito furiously charging towards Vassago with a barrage of slash trying to break away his defence. Kirito keeps pressing on him by using his sword skill to defeat his opponent, such a powerful maniac he is facing on, Vassago able to counter any of Kirito could throw at him 

" Zweite aqua shot " Melty cast her magic attack which is shoot a powerful current of water to struck him down, Vassago didn't expect that kind of magic attack as he got threw away by Melty's magic. Seeing this as an opportunity, Asuna accompanied by Leafa launch themselves towards Vassago as they are about to use their sword skill 

Asuna : " Million stabs "

Asuna plunged her attack with a sword skill that launch dozens of stabs in fullspeed throughout his entire body with her rapier, giving her enemy zero change of deflect it

" Akh...akh...ukh...ugh..ugh..agh " Vassago take the assault from Asuna as his body heavily injured by it

As soon as Asuna done with her attack, she leap backwards " Leafa-chan, i leave it to you now " Asuna says as she switch position with Leafa

" Mm-hm " Leafa nodded in agreement as she put up her stance, about to unleash her sword skill " Vorpal strike " Leafa plunged towards Vassago in high speed as he didn't have the time to react to her attack 

Vassago manage to lift half of his sword covering his gut from Leafa's quick assault. Leafa only manage to fatally scratch Vassago's right side of his torso as the impact of the attack have made vassago got blasted away pretty far

Feels satisfied of her action had breed a nice victory, Leafa put her sword up on her shoulder as she smirk watching the flat lying Vassago not moving any muscle " heh, with this sword skill you are nothing to me "

Asuna approaching Leafa from her side " We did it Leafa-chan " 

Leafa turn her attention towards the brunet as she satisfiedly smile at her " yup, we sure is Asuna-san " she excitedly says as she having a high five with Asuna 

Angelo turn his attention towards Kirito and the others while some of Naofumi's party sprawled as the aftermath of their intense battle " Hoo seems Vassago is not as useful as ever anymore huh ? " Angelo says as he slightly walk towards the unconscious Sho in the bath of blood 

Naofumi kneeled as he stare furiously towards Angelo. What is with this guy? he seems to be always reflecting our attacks but in some cases he is not yet exhausted, there's no way I use blood sacrifice in order to defeat him, no, there's must be some way to finish this. A chain of thought slipped on Naofumi's mind 

As Angelo arrived beside Sho's body, he immediately grasped his head and lifted it up facing him, A gloomy-purple aura starting to flow through Angelo's arm as if it being sucked into Angelo's body 

Kirito suddenly turn his attention facing Naofumi who weakly kneeled down with a blood pouring out of  his wounds and the others sprawled on the ground that seems to be had a hard time facing their opponent, along with Asuna, Melty, and Leafa Kirito dashing towards their friends

" Zweite aqua heal " Melty quickly cast a spell which heal the person she intended to, Asuna is also doing her best to heal her friends along with Leafa whose support her 

" Naofumi " As Melty approaching Naofumi he straightly pointing towards Raphtalia 

" Quick, heal Raptalia first " Melty nodded as she began to cast a healing spell towards Raphtalia

Naofumi concernedly turn his attention in order search for Firo, he feels a bit relieved as he witness Firo is being treated by Asuna. Kirito put  up his stance safeguardly stand still ahead of his friends as they healed the wounded, he is death glaring towards Angelo while he seemed to be absorbing Sho's power

" You know, what is the unique things about humans? " Angelo drop Sho's remnant body as a gloomy purple aura start engulfed all over his body " in order to survive, they devouring others, what I do right now is the very first thing of becoming a human, don't you think? " a devilish smirk is shown towards everyone inside the chamber

Naofumi cautiously watching the seems to be evolving Angelo, an uneasy feeling hit him like a train as he struggle to find the right way to win this battle, definitely he can't die in a place like this moreover he still got his precious ones he swore to protect 

" Everyone get ready ! This is not a battle of protecting others anymore, this is a battle of life and death " Kirito warns everyone as he put up his stance ready to facing Angelo
