"{Heavenly Blood Demon Style}: {First Form – Absolute Oppression}"
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
"W-Wha…?!"
Crack, crack…!
CRASH!
In a split second, Jonathan was struck a hundred times. His armor and sword shattered into fragments, and his body broke apart.
"AAAAAAGH!"
Jonathan screamed in agony as his bones snapped and chunks of flesh tore free from his frame. He raised his right arm to shield himself, sacrificing it—Hercules obliterated the limb into countless pieces.
BOOOM!
A massive explosion erupted across Jonathan's body. Each of Hercules' blows had imprinted a demonic cursed rune; now they unified into a single devastating blast.
"J-Jonathan!" Nia cried as she watched the hero plummet, one arm gone and countless bones shattered.
"Hm! Indeed, he is the strongest—to think he endured my first form, haha!" Hercules laughed cheerfully. "Now then! Who's next? The lady over there? Come at me!"
