Sebastian roared as his holy power went berserk. His eyes turned white as every vein in his body began to shine as if gold was flowing through them. The Revenant tries to put him back to sleep, but the intensity of holy magic that Sebastian emits began to become unbearable to withstand. Sebastian held his hammer tightly, with all the strength he got, he punched a hole through the darkness. The Revenant screams as its body begins to spontaneously combust. Flame spread through the revenant body and began to exorcise many souls that were trapped within. Many of the souls whisper to Sebastian saying thank you for freeing them, but many screams curses and insults towards Sebastian as they sink deep into the ground.
Dalia, Carlos and the soldier outside were surprised as they watched a light pillar emerge from inside the cocoon. They could see Sebastian hammer poking through the sphere; lifting the spirit and energy of everyone watching. Now with their Saint life secured, the soldier began pushing the horde more aggressively than before while Dalia began to focus even more, increasing the radius of her holy dome. Carlos on the other hand feels anger when he sees that Sebastian has survived, he can’t believe that kid still holds that much power inside.
“Is it because he’s a war saint? Or he’s just a monster to begin with?”
Sebastian began to stand up as his entire body began to emit heat and light at the same time. A red mist can be seen coating Sebastian's body as blood gushing out from every inch of his body. The Revenant not wanting to give Sebastian a chance, began to attack with many tendril and limbs they have. A rain of blades and needles began to attack Sebastian from all sides, many of them are aiming for his head and heart. Some even emerge from beneath Sebastian's feet, piercing the sole of his feet and holding him in place. Then the attack connected with Sebastian as the Revenant began to brutally stab and pierce Sebastian's body. Attack after attack comes towards Sebastian, The Revenant could feel its attack connecting and there’s no reaction at all from Sebastian.
“Die mortal.”
The Revenant used all of their power to form a huge spear with their limb that directly flew straight towards Sebastian place. Then a disgusting squelching sound can be heard. The Revenant are confident that they managed to pierce and kill Sebastian. However that confidence is immediately shattered as they see the truth. There’s not a single wound that appears on Sebastian's body. Chills began to haunt the Revenant. The Revenant thought that there’s nothing colder than their existence, but this deep, deep sense of cold that appears inside their body feels different. The Revenant began to look at all of his limbs and tendril, then they notice that they’re all melting and turn into charred coal. The Revenant thought that it was hurting Sebastian with its attack, but now it was proven otherwise.
“SANCTIFIED NAIL!”
Sebastian swung his hammer with all his might into a piercing attack then it tore a hole into the Revenant body. The deafening and blood curdling scream spread throughout the entire forest as the Revenant's entire body began to combust in flame. The scorching heat it feels after so long began to torment the Revenant's entire existence. They thought that they missed the feeling of warmth that this world has, but now they were begging to be sent back to their cold existence like before. Sebastian leaped towards the Revenant face as they screamed in pain, then he lifted his hammer towards the skies and slammed it down towards the ground with such terrifying force.
“DIVINE HAMMER!”
The ground shakes violently as Sebastian wounds the Revenant. The attack sent a massive shockwave towards the surrounding area and even blew some of the tree away from the ground. Everyone who watched this event unfold can’t even comprehend what’s going on right now. They began to wonder what the limit of Sebastian's power was, then they began to wonder about the incident at Isildus. With this much power alone that Sebastian shows, the battle must be earth shattering for the entire city to be turned into inhabitable ruin. What kind of battle was happening at Isildus? Imagining it is enough to make some of the soldiers shiver.
“By the God above, this is so terrifying,” said one of the soldiers.
The Revenant is now laying on the ground with its body slowly turning into charcoal. It longed for death before, but now it wants to live. Sebastian keeps attacking the Revenant body with all his rage. The relentless onslaught that Sebastian unleashed was a fury and anger manifest. The sheer brutality of his attack doesn’t even form any martial art technique or stance, it’s just pure animal instinct to attack and destroy its prey into nothingness. The Revenant began to hug the torch that it carries. Then a sound of prayer can be heard coming out from its mouth.

“Master, please save us all.”
Sebastian's attack was thwarted by the sudden appearance of blue flame that began to consume the Revenant body. The entire horde of smaller Revenant began to run towards the flame as if they were called into it. Dalia has an ugly premonition on what’s about to happen, but she can't convey it as her mouth is locked into prayer. The soldiers began to cheer as they believed they survived the attack, some even began dropping into the ground because of the exhaustion they felt right now. Carlos on the other hand keeps his golem ready, just like Dalia, he thinks this battle is far from over. Something bad is coming and it churns his stomach as the power begins to grow and consolidate inside the Massive Revenant body. The presence Carlos felt is the opposite of his power, it was vile and rotted, something that shouldn’t exist in this plane of existence. Sebastian on the other hand knows this feeling really well. The flashback of his previous battle gets even stronger than before and it increases Sebastian's rage even more than ever.
“VALENTINUS! I’LL SEND YOU BACK TO HELL AGAIN OVER AND OVER AGAIN IF I HAVE TO!”
The entire horde of Revenant began to converge into a single being. A disgusting grotesque creature that was an affront to creation itself.
“WE ARE LEGION! WE ARE DEATH!”
Legion have many arms and legs that almost mimic the look of a centipede. There's countless faces across its entire body that were screaming and wailing begging to be killed and the others singing an unholy hymn towards their creator. On the top of the main head, there’s a blazing crown that emit a disgusting foul atmosphere that turn everyone stomach even Carlos and Dalia. This creature is very disturbing to look at. All the Soldier who saw this creature feels like their mind is about to be ripped apart by the sheer horror they saw right now. Puss and the smell of rotting flesh are spilled around the entire area and many other atrocity that this creature emit are enough to send everyone who see it run away in fear.
Carlos was frozen and shocked by the thing he saw right now. His holy magic began to scream murder and anger as the creature in front of him was a mockery towards god creation. However at the same time his mind was screaming as if he didn't want to see that foul creature. He shifted his gaze towards Sebastian who was standing right in front of that creature, wondering how he could see that disgusting thing without flinching or even disgust. There he saw Sebastian's body engulfed in holy magic, swirling violently around his body. His red hair almost looks like a blazing flame and the entire vein and muscle of his body is tense and looks like a river of gold. Sebastian gripped his hammer tightly with his shield In front ready to counter any attack that was about to come.
“Dalia, hang in there! I will try helping our dear coworker!”
Carlos wont run away from this. His pride is already shattered when he flees in fear because of Sebastian's gaze a few days ago. Now he will show Sebastian how strong he was. He’ll show that brat that they are equal in terms of power. Carlos began to channel all of his power and merge all of his golem into a single entity. He never did this before since there’s not a single situation that demands him to channel a massive power like this. Carlos' head felt like it was about to be split apart and explode, this much magic concentration is a new thing for him. However Carlos wont surrender or even give up, he needs to show Sebastian and Dalia that he’s a force to be reckoned with.
The golem began to grow in size and now it was at the same height as the Legion. This golem almost looks like a small mountain. Hard rock becomes its skin and surprisingly Carlos also channels a lot of his holy power into that golem. A small vein and cracks can be seen emitting holy magic from within the golem body. As the golem finally completes, it roars towards the legion taunting it to attack. Now another problem arises for Carlos, this golem is basically a puppet that he needs to control, he can't just rest now when his magnum opus are finally complete. The real work starts now and Carlos knows that. This battle awoke something inside Carlos, he could feel the burn and the adrenaline rush that was coursing through his vein. He never felt this sensation before, but it’s a nice feeling to have right now.
“Foolish mortal! You’re nothing! We’re the perfect being, our master heeds our call!” the countless mouths began to speak as one creature. “Our master asked for your blood! And we will deliver it!”
Sebastian's mind grows numb with rage and his ears are ringing with voices from the distant past. Now he’s back to the battlefield he left behind months ago. He could feel it in the air and his soul. This is the place that he was meant to be, this is his call as a Saint. In front of him stood Valentinus taunting him to attack. Sebastian gritted his teeth with anger as he began planning to attack. Countless pathways emerge from his mind and many other killing methods are located precisely by his eyes. He needs to kill Valentinus now and he needs to make sure he suffers for it. Killing Valentinus instantly like before seems wasn’t enough. Sebastian needs to instill fear by killing it brutally right now. That’s the only way and that’s the correct thing to do. Sebastian began to feel a pressure built in his head, his body ached for vengeance and his mind were tormented by regret and anger. Without waiting even further, Sebastian leaped forwards towards the Legion. He slammed his Shield towards that creature and an ear shattering screech can be heard coming from the Legions many mouths.
Seeing Sebastian on the offensive, Carlos began to push his golem forwards. Slowly the golem speed began to increase and before long it was barreling towards the Legion. However the Legion sends a swarm of winged undead towards the golem from its body that explodes on impact with the golem body. The result of that explosion is a disgusting green liquid that corrodes the golem hard skin. Then the Legion turned its gaze towards Sebastian who was running on its body smashing every face he saw at lightning speed. Countless arm began to appear and tried to catch Sebastian who now seems like an agile fly darting around the Legion body.
All the soldiers who witnessed this fight are frozen in shock. This is too much for them to process. This situation is way above their capability. Now all they can do is watch as the clash of titan and superhuman are happening in front of them. Dalia on the other hand could feel another entity with them. Watching them from behind a veil. A presence of the most foul and blasphemous to look at. However she doesn’t know what that presence wanted and why it appeared in this place right now.
