Utilizing Blink, Michael teleported in front of Claire just in time. With his right hand he wielded Devil's Tongue. Tilting the sword vertically, he positioned it to act as a shield.
Simultaneously his left hand held Heaven's Judgment. Pointing the shotgun backwards, he activated its hook.
Swush!
The chain extended until the hook connected to the ground. Then beginning to retract, Michael was pulled backwards, taking Claire with him.
'You imbecile, what the hell are you doing?! It's almost like you have suicidal tendencies!' Devil's Tongue remarked.
Michael remained unfazed, meeting the blast of the Spiritual Shredder full force.
'I do whatever I want.' He answered calmly before the blast reached him.
BOOM!
For a few seconds the surroundings turned pure white under the intensity of the explosion. This was the result of turning the power of an Overlord into a bomb.
"W—What the hell was that?!"
"Retreat, we don't want to anger whatever is happening at the center!"
