Chapter 129: The Elemental Lord Knitemare!

Project: INFERNO


(Meanwhile in the destroyed God Realm, Tatsuhiro looked around at the damage in Olympus and looked at a dismembered arm and examined it closely only to know that the arm was Janus's. Tatsuhiro then looked at the burning debris of the meteorites that struck the entire God Realm but then was pissed off still.)
"Tatsuhiro: Rewind."
(Janus's arm began twitching on its own then retraces itself to Janus's dismembered arm and the arm then reattached itself onto Janus's socket as if it was never dismembered along with Janus's entire body, he was then resurrected right out of the blue and took a huge gasp of air.)
"Janus: T-...T-Tatsu..Tatsuhiro..?!"
"Tatsuhiro: Janus. Was this Knitemare's doing?"
"Janus: Yes.. It was... Everyone received a message from him.. He already stormed Earth...! The other realms are destroyed too..!!"
(Tatsuhiro tried to sense for any familiar life across the destroyed realms.)

"Tatsuhiro: Damn.. Not a trace of anyone, can't even find Choryrth?"
"Janus: Its the barriers! As long as Knitemare is still around, no one can escape the destroyed realms without someone strong enough to bypass them..!"
"Tatsuhiro: Lucky me right..? Nevertheless..."
(He sighed as he gave up.)
"I didn't want to give him his abilities back but at this point, we need as many hands as much help as we can even get."
(Tatsuhiro helped Janus up and teleported each other out of Olympus and to Aimiya's infirmary where Janus was taken by the official medical workers to be checked on and Tatsuhiro walked into the emergency parts of the infirmary and found Sawano's room, walking inside and stared at the unconscious body and looks at the large scars he himself gave Sawano.)
"Sawano. You're an idiot. When I tell you I'm not in the mood, I'm not in the mood... But here."
(He planted his hand on Sawano's chest and began to give Sawano back every last ability he stolen, including temporary access to his own abilities as well. Tatsuhiro then walked out and went back to Janus as one of the nurses then walked away to check his conditions.)

"Janus: How's Sawano?"
"Tatsuhiro: Still unconscious after the beating I gave him. Not to mention.. I may have given him a few more scars than before."
"Janus: I know this is a stupid question Tatsuhiro.. But why are you treating Sawano like this? One day, you might not be able to bring him back truly. Once a Senvoinian's core is shattered.. that's it. Even if you could resurrect him-"
"Tatsuhiro: Sawano would be a walking corpse. Not a Senvoinian anymore, I get that. I just... I need everyone to get stronger... Look at me Janus, I'm literally carrying every single elemental power in existence along with Ember Mist! I treat Sawano like this because of the fact even if he had one hundred percent of his life force back, he still wouldn't have the strength to defeat me!"
"Janus: Don't worry. A miracle can happen one day, its been years ever since you had a lost, Lord Tatsuhiro? If you ask me, I think.. you're becoming bored."
(Tatsuhiro paused for a moment.)
"Tatsuhiro: Bored? I think I'm like that one bald guy who wears a leotard... "I'm too strong for anyone and everyone so I need a good challenge.."
"Janus: Who?"
"Tatsuhiro: I can't really remember his name. But I ran into him a few dimensions ago, he's pretty strong in whatever that dimension was."
"Janus: Either way. Can you at least think about what Sawano tries to do for you?"

(As Tatsuhiro sat there and pondered, the areas of Hakodate was quiet as clapping was heard and across the entire wastelands of the city with burning buildings and debris, only three individuals was standing which was Hinami, Kazuya and Shibuto whom was bleeding from head to toe with severe untreated wounds as everyone else from the Elemental Division along the students from schools Shinsei and Saikan Academy was defeated with wounds and bruises as well from Knitemare's devastating attacks.)

"Knitemare: Now I see why you three are the chosen ones of the next generation. Before I struck, the three of you combined your attacks to outmaneuver me and protect everyone else at the same time. Quite the impressive play in order to keep them all alive so do consider me.. impressed at the plan you rascals pulled off."
(Kazuya began shaking and sweating uncontrollably, no longer hiding the fact he was completely terrified of Knitemare's power.)

"Kazuya(Thinking): I can't... s-stop... s-shaking..."
"Shibuto: Kazuya... I.. K-Know you're scared... but we have to c-continue to fight..."
(Shibuto started to stand on his knees again as Hinami was running completely low on stamina and her energy as she was close to collapsing.)
"Knitemare: It seems Lady Magazaki is about tapped out, So... How about we start with her first before I dispose of you two?"
"Shibuto and Kazuya: OVER OUR DEAD BODIES!!!"

(They both combined lightning along with a fast moving orb which has the explosive rate as a star which Knitemare countered with an explosive water beam which shot through the combined attack as a blur then appeared right in front of the three which revealed to be Chimon, who took the attack but was not phased even after the water whiplashed onto his bare body. Knitemare was deemed impressed at his resiliency to the attack.)

"Knitemare: Oh? Chimon of Saikan Academy, please reconsider of trying to fight me. I do not hold back, no matter how fast you're deemed to prove to the world. Should they all remember the Elemental Tournament Incident of '73?"
(Chimon was started as he was surprised Knitemare knew about the incident.)
"Such a delightful time for a story, don't you agree Chimon Hato?"
(Chimon then went for a slash with his axes at a fast pace which he was stopped by an unknown barrier separating him from Knitemare by mere inches.)
"Chimon: What the hell..?!"
"Knitemare: This is a special ability called "Repel." To explain what Repel means, it's basically a self-defense mechanism type of ability in order to.. "save your skin" is what the humans say."
"Chimon: I'll slash past your damn Repel..!"
"Knitemare: Such a pointless attempt...!"
(Knitemare's entire arm then generated a massive amount of elemental energy which blasted a massive wave of elemental power towards the outskirts of Hakodate, the entire area then being blown right off the map as Chimon then began attacking Knitemare from all sides.)

"Chimon: I will hold him off, you three need to get out of here!!"
"Kazuya: I'm afraid we can't do that.."
(Knitemare continued to give his focus onto Chimon as they continued to battle while Hinami, Shibuto and Kazuya was beginning to charge their combination attack.)
"Shibuto: R-Ready guys..?! Cosmic...!"
"Hinami: Ozone...!"
"Kazuya: INFERNO...!"
"All Three: BULLET!!!"

(At jet speeds, their combined attack was launched directly at Knitemare which Chimon got out the way in time and avoided the massive blast which combusted white particles and created a star-like explosion which then created a massive crater in the ground. The four looked down at the crater to see if Knitemare was defeated but he floated out of the crater without any damage.)

"Shibuto: NO... T-THAT.."
"Hinami: Not... a-again.."
"Kazuya: Y-YOU BASTARD..!! HOW DID YOU SURVIVE THAT...?!?!"
"Knitemare: All I did was summon just one measly little boulder to shield me."
(He pointed at the boulder which shielded Knitemare and Hinami began to fall to her knees and cover her mouth but was then coughing black blood out of her mouth which scared Kazuya as Knitemare was going to attack again until Chimon jumped into the air and land a decent slash right past his Repel barrier.)
"Chimon: GET OUT OF HERE NOW!!!"
(Shibuto quickly linked his mind with every other injured fighter along with Kazuya and Hinami and teleported them out of Earth but on to Olympus's destroyed ruins where Shibuto was beginning to rebuild everything with his space element and tried to call Aimiya whom was busy.)
"Shibuto: Damn it..!!"
(Hinami was beginning to cough out more black blood as black veins was appearing on her back and growing to her neck which scared the both of them.)

"Kazuya: What're we gonna do..?!"
"Shibuto: I don't know... Without any of the gods, we're screwed..."
(In the distance, a few pebbles was clattering off of a destroyed pillar as Ankoku and Fuchibuto was looking at the damage.)
"Fuchibuto: Look at all of this..."
"Shibuto: ANKOKU! FUCHIBUTO!"
(They quickly looked abroad and saw the injured students along with the three and the poisoned Hinami and out of pure relief to see them, they quickly rushed over to assist.)
