Arthur would waste no time in recovering what he lost, the salt quickly molding around his stumps to create arms once more, now sealing off the veins in his body to limit the blood flow direction, as well as focusing it more onto his heart and legs to move faster, as well as his head for easier reaction time and thought processing. The rings looked around on all sides to see both Adel flanking and Zazel trying to fire another shot of Asmodeus to melt the salt again, a pincer attack. Quick to react, Arthur would have his legs melt down to not only evade Asmodeus, but also to grab at Adel's leg and abdomen to toss over, forcing him to be met face first with such intense flames. As Zazel winced in fear that he cooked the man alive, the Snake Charmer would be just as quick to catch the flames and splitting them, his hands and arms now burning, but with the carbon being in his structure, Eligos would quickly transfer it directly onto his skeleton. While such burns would be excruciating to feel, including the aftermath where such Carbon storing the heat would cause smoke to erupt from the arms, back, and mouth of Adel, he merely smiled as he'd focus his efforts back on fighting the Hunter bare-handed.
He'd lunge forward to the Hunter in an effort to claw him across the face, prompting Arthur to simply create walls of Salt that, once struck, would embed and dig through his fingernails to both ruin his skin again and destroy Eligos hidden within. To the Hunter's surprise, however, Adel would release the heat dormant through the Carbon to melt the salt before it even makes contact against such nails, tearing through the walls one by one, all to get close and try to grip him by his neck. As he did, however, Arthur merely had his neck scatter, letting his head drop, whilst issuing a palm strike against his face, followed by a roundhouse kick against his hip, then creating a sphere of Salt to capture him, shrinking it, having Adel's body begin to break under such pressure. At the same time of the Snake Charmer slashing an exit out, Zazel would swoop in with a sigil, casting Furfur, a large amount of lightning to fry the Hunter's body further. Arthur would push back, grabbing his head back by its ring, and would start to let the scattered salt form into bullets to fire on all sides to both opponents, piercing them through their vitals and into certain nerves to stun them, barring their very hearts. Zazel would keep himself up by casting Kimaris on himself, releasing himself of such pain and vitals needed, all to get close and set up another Furfur. As such bolts came, Adel would attest further with the Carbon's heat escaping from his wounds, his body slowly coating in flames, as he'd run up and land a heavy gut punch to push him up, making it harder to recover.
He can see the pincer attack further. In addition, he can see the opening to guarantee his win.
SHIKK!!
His arm was skewered once he punched the Hunter, watching in awe as Arthur allowed himself to be pierced through, a hole in his center, all to sink the salt in and expel the heat out. At the same time of such piercings, he'd make another straight into his eyes, blinding him through his salt jetting straight outwards, kicking the man off and letting him fall into the ground. To his surprise, he can see Adel still trying to get up, even when, through his wounds, Eligos was gravely injured from the attack. "Heaven welcomes you with open arms, Adel. I will mourn for your loss as much as those that held you high. You could've been an excellent hunter..." He'd utter, as he'd prepare the mineral to be weaponized into a mass of rings, coming down onto the Snake Charmer, ready to rip him into shreds with such salts at such speeds. Zazel would be forced to watch as he'd see the fate coming down, yet as he'd see it, he'd attempt a drastic maneuver. One in which he himself knew it would be the death of him if he'd push forward. One in which he knew is the worst decision to make, yet for the safety of another..
He will risk his life for it...
He would throw himself straight into the rings, creating the sigil of Malthus, bending the Earth to create hands in order to shove the Snake Charmer away from the incoming attack, letting himself take the blow instead. Even Arthur was shocked when he saw such a selfless sacrifice, yet he quickly calms himself. "So, you wish to die first then. Very well, it means I can save his life away from your influence. Perish at the Lord's Wheels, Spawn. Perish by the Wheels of God." He'd roar, letting the rings spin faster and faster, shooting more and more salt around the vicinity, slowly tearing down Zazel's body with no remorse. To say that it hurts is an understatement, as the boy would be struggling to even breathe from both the pain and the shock of such holy magic shredding him. Tears were coming down on his face, quickly being smoked out as fast as his eyes can make them. He was in so much pain, that he could imagine the fight with the Pastor, who also had such holy magic, to be a drop in a bucket compared to this.
Yet he still tries to live.
"Y'now, it would make everything easier if you just die, Bastard child. What are you trying to gain out of evading justice?" Arthur asked, annoyed that such a process was taking so long, assuming a single grain of it should've been enough to kill him. It makes him ponder at exactly what he's experienced that allowed him to sustain such holy properties. Furthermore, such a thought quickly branched into how his sigils were the only ones immediately destroyed, yet the demon itself lingered after such wounds. At first, he assumed his salt wasn't holy enough, but he'd start to see his answer once Zazel began to speak.
"To prove that not every Demon HATES HUMANS!!!"
