Hajun poured every ounce of his power into a single weapon, a massive golden pillar that erupted from the ground beneath him, launching him toward Drake as he dodged countless explosions of elemental magic.
Amaterasu surged to Drake's side, diving toward Hajun together. Drake's blades crashed against the demon's colossal pillar, dozens of kilometers long, which Hajun swung with terrifying force, trying to hurl Drake away.
"RAAAAHHH!"
CLAAANK!
A tremendous shockwave of karmic flames and demonic energy exploded outward, only for Drake to stop the gigantic pillar with one bare hand. Glowing cracks spread across the weapon before it shattered into countless fragments with a deafening blast, rainbow light bursting from every fracture.
BOOOM!
"W-Wha…?! WHAT?!"
Hajun stared in shock. He had been certain he was the strongest, overflowing with energy drawn directly from Zipangu itself.
Yet Drake proved far tougher and stronger in the end.
