Jennifer and Erika's eyes darted frantically, their senses strained.
Whoosh!
A sudden rush of air whispered past them.
"Behind us!" Jennifer shouted, whirling around. To their astonishnt, the space behind them remained empty.
"You coward! Show yourself!" Erika hissed, her voice edged with frustration.
Whoosh!
Another icy breeze brushed their skin.
"She's toying with us," Jennifer murmured, her voice low.
BAM!
A sharp sting pierced Jennifer's back, and she gasped, dropping to her knees.
"Jennifer!" Erika cried, her eyes widening in horror. A deep gash marred Jennifer's back, clearly inflicted by a blade.
"Don't... Don't worry, I'm alright." Jennifer slowly rose, the wound knitting itself closed within seconds.
"Garuda grants rapid healing," Jennifer explained, and Erika nodded in relief.
"Do you have a way to force her to reveal herself?" Jennifer asked, her gaze sweeping the area. "If this continues, we're dood."
"I have an idea." Erika's lips curved into a determined smirk. She transford her sword back into a bow, aid it skyward, and released a single arrow.
"What's that supposed to achieve?" Jennifer asked, her brow furrowed. Then, her eyes widened in dawning horror.
"Just stay close," Erika said, her smirk widening.
A storm of arrows descended from the heavens, hundreds striking the ground with thunderous force.
BAM!

A spectral figure leapt aside, revealing Echidna.
"There!" Jennifer shouted, and without hesitation, hurled her scythe.
CLANG!
A resounding clang echoed as the scythe t Echidna's spear.
Echidna landed gracefully, her grip tightening on her spear, her brow furrowed.
***I underestimated you both.*** She snarled, then lunged forward, the earth cracking beneath her feet.
"Let's go!" Jennifer caught her scythe, which flew back towards her. She and Erika then charged towards Echidna.

BOOM!
A bone-jarring impact sent dusa crashing to the ground. She glanced up at Zwei, Drei, and Funf, who landed ten ters away.
She scanned the battlefield: Echidna locked in combat with Jennifer and Erika, and Sword Saint battling Tyson and Chris.
***Why do I always draw the strongest opponents? And three at that!*** She thought, her expression grim.
"**dusa...**" Zwei's voice, laced with a mocking sweetness, cut through the air. "Why not join our army?"
***Join and beco Michael's lapdog? I'll pass.*** dusa grinned, her body enveloped in crimson light as her legs transford into a five-ter-long serpent's tail. ***My curse may not affect you, but I can still fight!***

***DUSA!*** Echidna roared, sending Jennifer and Erika flying with a single blow. She then turned her fury on the Blades. ***You will pay for that!***
"She's our opponent!!" Jennifer yelled at the blades.
The three ladies exchanged glances and vanished, completely ignoring Echidna.
Echidna stopped, her gaze falling on dusa's severed head. ***You will pay dearly for this!***
She turned to Jennifer. ***I promised you.*** Her voice was a chilling whisper. ***I will not rest until your race is dust!***
A seismic tremor shook the battlefield, silencing the fighting. All eyes turned to the blood-red sky.
***Today, I will show you the true aning of terror!*** Echidna's voice echoed, the air crackling with energy, while dark clouds engulfed the sky.
Echidna ascended, vanishing into the storm.
The next second; a bolt of lightning struck Jennifer's position.
"Damn it!" Jennifer dove aside, narrowly avoiding the blast, which collided on the ground, sending sand and dust everywhere.
***What are you doing?! Think of our forces!*** Sword Saint shouted, finally understanding Echidna's plan.
"What is she doing?" Tyson demanded, and Chris nodded in agreent.
Sword Saint ignored Tyson, and soared into the sky, flying towards Echidna.
***Damn it! She loved dusa most, even though she wasn't her own. I have to stop her, or we're all dood!***
***Stop, Queen Echidna! You'll destroy our army!!*** Sword Saint cried. ***What you're attempting requires the power of a Sage! You are not one!***
****How dare you?!****
A crushing force slamd into Sword Saint, sending her plumting to the earth. She crashed into the ground, leaving a crater.
***Des del final fins al principi, convoco la destrucció d'aquest món! Atendre la va trucada i esborrar!!*** Echidna'z voice thundered.
[Translation: From the end to the beginning, I summon the destruction of this world! Heed my call and be erased!.]
***It's over!*** Sword Saint whispered dropping to her knees. While the monstrous army descended into chaos, all running for their lives.

They watched in horror as distant mountains turned to ash upon making contact with the eerie looking do.
