142 - - 104 Armed Saints

Dooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!　and the black aura covering Shangalla's body bursts out at once.

Tiruna!

I got it!

All that remained was for Tiruna to pop the sacred weapons attached to his limbs and sublimate them into sacred vessels.

"......G, oaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

"--Nah!"

Here comes Shangalla's last stand.

Is it "willpower"?

It's true that he seemed to have more guts than anyone else.

It's a good thing that he was able to do that even after his death.

Gooooooo!

As if to push back the power of purification, a black aura erupts, and the exposed body is covered in "dirt" once again.

Moreover, it became much larger than before, and its shape itself changed to a different form.

From bipedal walking to heroic quadrupedal walking.

It was as if its jaws were the biggest in the world.

Its jaws opened so wide that it seemed to swallow everything in the sky and on earth, and it screamed as it released a shockwave.

Yes, a huge jet-black wolf appeared before our eyes.

'...... transformed into a wolf.'

......That's what I'm talking about, Shangalla. You are an amazing guy. Even in death, you still have this much willpower left in you."

But," I said, my whole body ablaze with fire, "I can't let you do what you want any more.

I can't let you do what you want any more. We'll break your willpower with our fists!

Yes!　Let's do it, Iguza!

--Pow!

"Gugaaaaah!"

At that moment, our bodies were enveloped in a dazzling radiance.

It was an intense yet warm glow - and a glow filled with so much power.

Tiruna.

Yes, I understand now. We--we can become one."

--Aah!

The flames from Tiruna's Phoenix Seal enveloped her body, and then mixed with my flames to envelop my own body as well.

It eventually transformed into a strong armor of the limbs, opening up new possibilities for the Suzaku form.

The "Saints Armament--Suzaku Form Superior Arms!

◇ ◇

"Saint Armed with ...... Superior Arms!"

With a "Dopan!　

A new fighting style by uniting with the saints - 《Superior Arms》.

I see, so it was all foreshadowed.

Why did saints with each of the seven rare skills appear in this age?

Why did someone appear who could lead them all together, someone who was a "hero"?

And the Phoenix Seal and the Amaterasu Orb.

All were important factors in arriving here.

Haa!

--Zugan!

Gugeagh!"

Iguza and the others' hard blows slammed the giant wolf to the ground.

It is a force so overwhelming that it makes you fall in love with it.

This is the power of 《Superior Arms》.

--This is the power of "Superior Arms," the power of a brave man who has obtained a sacred tool through a saint.

Even if it is pseudo, he was qualified when he acquired the rare skill.

Why was he unable to use the sacrament until now?

Of course, the saints were the owners, but he probably dared not to use it in order to obtain this power.

And a big part of this is the Phoenix Seal, which connects body and soul with the saints, and the Amaterasu Orb, which can manifest Hihirokane in any form.

When all of these are in place, the hero becomes one with the saint and shows his true power.

Well, I guess that's only possible because of the boy's potential.

Shiva thinks to herself as she watches Igusa and the others overwhelm the giant wolves with their tremendous power.

The only power that could possibly counteract the goddess Feenis is probably this power.

It seems I was wrong about one thing.

It was not enough just to collect the seven rare skills.

What is really needed are the seven rare skills, the saints who possess them, and the sacraments.

When he is able to combine all of these into one, the brave man will be able to slaughter even the gods.

In other words, in the end, he will be able to slaughter all seven of them.

But I wonder if the last one will listen to me so easily.

Laughing, Shiva continued to quietly watch the battle unfold.
